A seminal collection of essays by John Rewald, one of the foremost scholars of Impressionism. Studies in Impressionism brings together key writings that deepen our understanding of the movement and its leading figures. Among its highlights are four important studies on Cézanne, a revealing essay on the role of the brushstroke in Impressionist painting, and an examination of the crucial support provided by art dealer Paul Durand-Ruel.
The volume also includes essays on Auguste Renoir and his brother Edmond—whom Rewald interviewed before World War II—as well as a study of Degas, enriched by Rewald’s meeting with Degas’s nephew in New Orleans. Rich in scholarship and first-hand insights, this book stands as an essential reference for collectors, historians, and enthusiasts of Impressionist art.
