It is often forgotten just how provocative and unsettling Impressionist canvases seemed when they were first exhibited in 1874. The advocates of this new approach rejected nearly all the established principles and practices of oil painting prevalent at that time in France. Tracing the origins and history of Impressionism in a concise, introductory volume, Ralph Skea highlights the major differences between the new techniques and aesthetic principles of the Impressionists and the academic art they abhorred, and goes a step further in exploring the original intellectual focus of the movement.
