Produktbeschreibungen
From Booklist
The nineteenth-century rebel painters known as the impressionists, often reviled in their time, remain perennial art-world stars. Meyers, author of a formidable list of literary biographies of the likes of Hemingway, Orwell, and Lawrence, now considers four impressionists. Berthe Morisot and Mary Cassatt are often seen as lesser lights in their male-dominated world, but Meyers gives them their due in relation to the dapper Manet and the overlord Degas. They inspired, admired, taught, harangued, envied, loved, challenged, and competed with one another. Each developed a singular style in breaking with tradition. Each was lovable and unlovable in his or her own way. Meyers treats them singly and in pairs, and looks closely at many of their paintings to discuss creativity, politics, class, and sex as well as suppressed love and longing. Meyers' title hints at his musical structure: the book is less linear biography than four suites of essays, with themes and variations that often double back and revisit moments through each artist's experience. Risky, but mostly engaging. Steve Paul

Frustrating Read
2. Mai 2006
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Think carefully before buying this book. You won't finish it. The author spends most of his time describing (but not really analyzing) numerous works of art which are not illustrated in the book. At first, I tried to look up each image online, but with the number of paintings he writes about, it quickly became impossible. It is pointless (not to mention boring) to read the descriptions without being able to see the works themeselves. A very small number of paintings are illustrated in the book, but even they are in black and white. The biographical portions of the text are interesting, but the book is perhaps 1/3 biography, 2/3 description, which makes it impossible to get through.

spurring each other to greatness
14. Oktober 2007
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Who hasn't been hypnotized by this Impressionist Quartet's paintings? This book will open the doors to their intertwining lives and to their art. It describes the individual character of each artist and their personal triumphs and failures. Jeffrey Meyers has again done an interesting and fulfilling biography of these four artists.
