Sister Wendy's Impressionist Masterpieces by Maxine Lewis

One of the world's best-loved historians Sister Wendy Beckett combines her deep knowledge of art history with her unique powers of observation to create a personal anthology of over 50 Impressionist masterpieces. Led by visionary artists such as Manet Monet and Pissarro the Impressionists sought to capture the brilliant colours of nature and the ever-changing effects of light on a scene. Sister Wendy invites us to immerse ourselves in the colourful energizing and revolutionary paintings of this late 19th-century movement.From Bonnard and Cezanne to Toulouse-Lautrec and Vuillard all the artists are presented alphabetically and each is represented by one or two key works. Here you will find the leading French Impressionists including Degas Renoir and Signac. Also represented are Singer Sargent and Whistler American artists who trained in Paris and knew and worked alongside the Impressionists. Sister Wendy also includes Mary Cassatt and Berthe Morisot female Impressionists whose paintings captured the intimacy of domestic life. Sister Wendy invites us to take a fresh look at Impressionism. Seen through her eyes each of the paintings in her wide-ranging selection weaves its magic around you when you follow her lead.

Sister Wendy Beckett has gained widespread recognition for her knowledge and insight into paintings and is well known for her BBC television art series. She is the author of several noted works, including the bestselling Sister Wendy's Story of Painting, Sister Wendy's Book of Saints, Sister Wendy's Book of Meditations, and A Child's Book of Prayer in Art.
