The essays in this wide-ranging, beautifully illustrated volume capture the theoretical range and scholarly rigor of recent criticism that has fundamentally transformed the study of French Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art. Readers are invited to consider the profound issues and penetrating questions that lie beneath this perennially popular body of work as the contributors examine the art world of late nineteenth-century France - including detailed looks at Monet, Manet, Pissarro, Degas, Cezanne, Morisot, Seurat, Van Gogh, and Gauguin. The authors offer fascinating new perspectives, placing the artworks from this period in wider social and historical contexts. They explore these painters' pictorial and market strategies, the critical reception and modern criteria the paintings engendered, and the movement's historic role in the formation of an avant-garde tradition. Their research reflects the wealth of new documents, critical approaches, and scholarly exhibitions that have fundamentally altered our understanding of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism.These essays, several of which have previously been familiar only to scholars, provide instructive models of in-depth critical analysis and of the competing art historical methods that have crucially reshaped the field. Contributors of this title include: Carol Armstrong, T. J. Clark, Stephen F. Eisenman, Tamar Garb, Nicholas Green, Robert L. Herbert, John House, Mary Tompkins Lewis, Michel Melot, Linda Nochlin, Richard Shiff, Debora Silverman, Paul Tucker, and Martha Ward.

Cézanne''s Early Imagery by Mary Tompkins Lewis explores the lesser-known but significant early works of Paul Cézanne, bringing to light the rich cultural and artistic context of his first decade as a painter. While Cézanne''s biographers have long emphasized his tumultuous early life—marked by his friendship with Emile Zola, his rebellious nature, and his passionate yet crude persona—the actual paintings from this period have often been overshadowed. Lewis addresses this gap in Cézanne scholarship by examining how his early works reflect deep connections to both popular and artistic traditions, revealing a more nuanced and deliberate painter than previously recognized. Through detailed analysis of Cézanne''s early subject pictures, Lewis moves beyond the conventional view of the artist as an impulsive romantic. Instead, she argues that his early paintings are stylistically and iconographically coherent, shaped by both his engagement with the old masters and his awareness of contemporary cultural currents. Highlighting the contributions of previous scholars such as Roger Fry and Meyer Schapiro, Lewis builds on their groundwork to offer a comprehensive reappraisal of Cézanne''s early compositions. Ultimately, this study provides a deeper understanding of the young painter''s creative process and the intellectual depth behind his bold, defiant imagery, enriching our appreciation of his role in modern art.
