Features: During their lifetime, their works were subjected to ridicule and misunderstanding at home; after their deaths, however, these works were revered by the world—Is this a blessing or a curse for art? This book is John Rewald's another significant work on Impressionism following A History of Impressionist Painting. The previous book studied the misfortunes and disasters of a small group of artists until the disintegration of Impressionism in 1886; this book introduces what happened to Impressionism from 1886 onward during the subsequent short yet decisive period. These events are either bizarre or trivial, but none are irrelevant to the main point, allowing us to glimpse an unknown side of the artists' emotions and artistic careers.
