Writing at the turn of the century, the French critic Camille Mauclair surveys Impressionism from its precursors through its leading figures. Separate chapters weigh the work and influence of Manet, Degas, Monet and Renoir, followed by the illustrators connected with the movement, and the Neo-Impressionists, whose dotted colour the eye recomposes at a distance.
An early, sympathetic account of the movement from inside French criticism, useful context for any gallery visit. Download the free EPUB.
