IMPRESSIONISM AND POST-IMPRESSIONISM AT THE DALLAS MUSEUM OF ART. Edited by Heather Macdonald

Descrizione

Impressionism and Post-Impressionism at the Dallas Museum of Art offers  a series of intimate case studies in the history of 19th-century  European art. Inspired by a series of public lectures given at the  Dallas Museum of Art between 2009 and 2013, the volume comprises twelve  beautifully illustrated essays from leading academics and museum  specialists. Opening with a new reading of one of Gustave Courbet’s  great hunting scenes, The Fox in the Snow, and ending with an  exploration of a group of interior scenes by Edouard Vuillard, each  essay stands alone as a richly contextualized reading of a single work  or group of works by one artist. The authors approach their subjects  from a range of methodological perspectives, but all pay close attention  to the experience of making and viewing works of art.
