This lengthy volume contains ten chapters on various art movements and painters. The last chapter includes information on the Impressionist movement. Impressionism is a 19th-century art movement that originated with a group of Paris-based artists. Their independent exhibitions brought them to prominence during the 1870s and 1880s, in spite of harsh opposition from the conventional art community in France at the time. Impressionism is characterized by works displaying asymmetrical balance, colored shadows, pure colored paints, broken brushstrokes, use of thick paint, casual subject matter, high horizontal lines and en-plein air techniques.
