L'impressionnisme – sa représentation spectaculaire de la lumière, sa belle évocation de la transition de tout – reste très populaire. Les foules affluent vers les expositions de ses plus grands artistes : Edouard Manet, Berthe Morisot, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro. Mais comme le montre Sebastian Smee à Paris in Ruins, un livre de grande narration et de détails vifs, l'impressionnisme était une réaction complexe à une ère de violence, de guerre civile et d'intrigues politiques.
De l'été 1870 au printemps 1871, célèbre surnommée « l'année terrible », Paris et son peuple ont été coupés, affamés et forcés de se rendre par les Allemands, avant que les républicains rebelles n'établissent un gouvernement ou une commune. Après les combats de rue et l'incendie du centre de Paris, les républicains ont été écrasés par l'armée française.
In Paris in Ruins Smee raconte cette histoire à travers les yeux de ces artistes clés, avec un accent particulier sur la relation intime et énigmatique entre Manet, le père de l'impressionnisme, et Morisot, la seule femme membre du groupe dans ses premières années. Portrait indélébile de la ville, Paris en ruines capture les passions changeantes et la politique du monde de l'art, et révèle comment le chaos de cette année a eu un effet incalculable sur le développement de l'art moderne.

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Minimal wear to cover. Pages clean and binding tight. shelf wear. bumped edges. Paperback. Impressionism-its dramatic depiction of light, its lovely evocation of the transience of everything-remains wildly popular. Crowds flock to exhibitions by its greatest artists-Edouard Manet, Berthe Morisot, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro. But as Sebastian Smee shows in Paris in Ruins, a book of great narrative sweep and vivid detail, Impressionism was a complex reaction to an age of violence, civil war, and political intrigue. From the summer of 1870 to the spring of 1871, famously dubbed the 'Terrible Year', Paris and its people were cut off, starved, and forced to surrender by Germans-before rebel republicans established a breakaway government or Commune. After street fighting and the burning of central Paris, the republicans were crushed by the French army. In Paris in Ruins Smee tells this story through the eyes of these key artists, with a special focus on the intimate, enigmatic relationship between Manet-the father of Impressionism-and Morisot, the group's only female member in its early years. An indelible portrait of the city, Paris in Ruins captures the shifting passions and politics of the art world, and reveals how the chaos of that year had an incalculable effect on the development of modern art.
