In 1867, Monet (1840–1925) turned his back on tradition when he focused on the bustling life of Paris from the balcony of the Louvre. He was fascinated by the present in the growing French capital rather than the old masters. In a series of three paintings he created a new pictorial topic. The important works from Berlin, Den Haag and Oberlin come together in exhibitions and this lavishly illustrated book. Monet’s cityscapes of Saint-Germain-l’Auxerrois, the Jardin de l’Infante and the Quai du Louvre are considered to be the earliest Impressionist city views. In them he casts a completely new artistic eye over the modern metropolis being rebuilt by Haussmann. By doing so he also inspired artists like Caillebotte and Pissarro to create their own cityscapes. A new subject was born which the publication reveals in all its beauty through the example of Monet’s three principal works as well as others by famous Impressionist and Post-Impressionist artists. Artists include Claude Monet with Gustave Caillebotte, Johan Barthold Jongkind, Maximilien Luce, Henri Matisse, Camille Pissarro.

A wide-ranging exploration of the birth of impressionism centered around the landmark exhibition in Paris in 1874  “The catalogue, in unusual tall format, is particularly attractive and vivacious, full of fresh material and images, expanding the Impressionist cast of characters, exploring Paris as their tumultuous inspiration.”—Jackie Wullschläger, Financial Times, “Best Books of 2024: Art, Design and Fashion”  Discover the origins of impressionism in this revelatory look at the context for the radical 1874 exhibition that is considered the birth of the French art movement. Featuring works by not only Cézanne, Degas, Monet, Morisot, Pissarro, Renoir, and Sisley, but also many other lesser-known participants and those who exhibited at the official Salon that year, this book explores how artists of the time responded to the shifting social and political currents during this singular moment in history, as well as the norms that these artists rebelled against in their new approach to art. This is a milestone reunion of many of the show’s artworks, which include paintings, works on paper, prints, and sculptures, that made the exhibition held by the société anonyme 150 years ago an event of international and lasting significance.  Paris 1874 draws on new scholarship to offer a multidisciplinary approach to impressionism. It explores the important role played by the contemporary press and also contextualizes the movement in relation to the devastation of the Franco-Prussian War and the Commune, as well as the subsequent process of reconstruction. Above all, it challenges established narratives surrounding the origins of impressionism itself by reexamining its position within the larger artistic landscape, particularly in relation to the Salon—which exhibited works strikingly similar to those included in société anonyme’s exhibition. With an engaging design that uses motifs from archival materials to suggest the look of Parisian publications of the 1870s, this book is a handsome and compelling addition to our understanding of the dawn of impressionism and why it is considered a pivotal moment in the history of Western art.

A commemoration of a renowned collection of 19th- and 20th-century European art, from Manet to MagrittePublished with Los Angeles County Museum of Art.The collection of former Univision CEO, A. Jerrold Perenchio, is a treasure trove of masterpieces, including important works by Bonnard, Degas, Gauguin, Léger, Magritte, Manet, Monet, Picasso and others. By donating this incredible collection to LACMA, Perenchio has singlehandedly transformed the museum's collection of European art. Dating from the 1870s through the 1930s, many of these nearly 50 pieces exemplify some of the most radical and inventive moments in the history of art. Included here are Degas' outstanding At the Café-concert: The Song of the Dog; LACMA's first Manet, the portrait of Louise Gauthier-Lathuille; three exceptional paintings by Monet; a Post-Impressionist standout by Bonnard; a superb early Cubist drawing by Picasso; and Magritte's Dangerous Liaisons. Featuring brilliant reproductions of each work and insightful texts, this volume celebrates an extremely rare and magnanimous demonstration of support for the visual arts.

Excerpt: “It may perhaps be interesting to the readers of this book to give a short account of its origin. From the earliest days of my pupilage to art I had been instinctively drawn towards the paintings of Turner, Corot, Constable, Bonington, and Watts, with an intense admiration for their manner in viewing, and methods of recreating, nature upon their canvases; and in later years I had been fascinated by the works of more modern artists, such as La Thangue, George Clausen, Edward Stott, and Robert Meyerheim. In 1891, a student in Paris, I found myself face to face with a beautiful development of landscape painting, which was quite new to me. “Impressionism,” together with its numerous progeny of eccentric offshoots, was at the time causing a great furore in the schools. Curiously enough I had been charged with copying Monet’s style long before I had seen his actual work, so that my conversion into an enthusiastic Impressionist was short, in fact, an instantaneous process."
