| Описание: | It is the first book to offer a\ n i\ ntimate a\ nd lively biography of the world's most popular group of artists. I\ n a vivid a\ nd movi\ ng \ narrative, biographer Sue Roe shows the Impressio\ nists i\ n the studios of Paris, rural la\ nes of Mo\ ntmartre a\ nd rowdy riverside bars as Paris u\ nderwe\ nt Baro\ n Haussma\ n\ n's spectacular tra\ nsformatio\ n.

Their dazzli\ ng pictures are familiar-but how well does the world k\ now the Impressio\ nists as people? The Private Lives of the Impressio\ nists tells their story. |
