The Private Lives Of The Impressionists by Sue Roe
Shows how the early leaders of the group first met in the Paris studios and lived and worked closely together for nearly twenty years. Painting outdoors, meeting in cafes, they supported each other and shared emotional and financial difficulties. This account takes us into their homes as well as their studios and describes their private affairs.
A deft account of their varying shades of character and fortuneRoe's quietly successful book tells of ultimate triumph, but shows its human cost -- Jane Stevenson * Daily Telegraph *
Roe is good at bounding from one eye-catching anecdote to another -- Martin Grayford * Sunday Telegraph *
The great strength of Roe's book is the way that it manages to synthesise the wealth of published biographical and scholarly work on half a dozen artists into a coherent narrative of kith and kinship -- Kathryn Hughes * Guardian *
Her book is widely researched but has a neat, light touch * Independent on Sunday *
