This introductory series to the great artists of the past 150 years looks at their lives and inspirations, and showcases a selection of their most significant paintings. Van Gogh’s distinctive style of expressive brushstrokes and bold colours is now famous worldwide, but during his lifetime his work was not appreciated and he was largely unknown. This book explores the fascinating life story of this tortured soul, who came late to art and suffered throughout his life from insecurity and depression. It unravels the influences behind his artworks, from the luminous landscapes of the south of France to the Japanese woodblock prints he so admired, and explores how he developed his own unique style.

This introductory series to the great artists of the past 150 years looks at their lives and inspirations, and showcases a selection of their most significant paintings. Pierre-Auguste Renoir was one of the foremost Impressionist artists, exhibiting six paintings in their famous 1874 exhibition and often painting scenes of middle-class leisure outdoors – en plein air – with Monet. But Renoir’s primary interest lay indoors, in depictions of sensuous female nudes and intimate domestic scenes, painted in a warm, bright palette. This book explores the life and work of this leading light of Impressionism, and shows how his work developed in a different direction to many of the others in the group, as he absorbed some elements of a classical style into his painting.

Claude Monet was the leading French Impressionist landscape painter. His work featured in the groundbreaking Impressionist exhibition of 1874, where the title of one of his paintings led to the name of the highly influential movement. A feature of his style was to paint en plein air, showing a single subject in different lighting conditions, whether it be trees, haystacks or the water lily ponds in his own garden at Giverny. The book describes Monet’s technique, the materials he used, and his impact on his contemporaries as well as successive generations of artists.
