ISBN: 9780300210880
Description: New Haven: Yale University Press, for Editions Hazan, 2014. 28cm., pbk., 192pp., 85 color illus. Exhibition held at Musée Marmottan Monet. English translation of "Impression soleil levant. L'histoire vraie du chef-d'oeuvre de Claude Monet." Summary: In April 1874, thirty artists, among them Monet, Renoir, Pissarro, Cezanne and Degas, participated in an exhibition held in a Paris studio. A scathing review in the newspaper Le Charivari appeared under the title 'The Exhibition of the Impressionists', a derisive play on the title of one of the paintings by Monet on show, Impression, soleil levant (Impression, Sunrise), thus giving this group of artists the name by which they would henceforth be known. This intriguing and colourful biography of Monet's world-famous painting accompanies an exhibition celebrating the 140th anniversary of the First Impressionist Exhibition.
