'Beauty lies in the light, as much in the atmosphere which surrounds things as in their actual form and fashion.' These words appear in Stanhope Forbes's Treatment of Modern Life in Art, and they stand as the credo of an extraordinarily accomplished generation of painters -- including Forbes, Lavery, Sargent and Sickert -- the British Impressionists. In the latter half of the nineteenth century widespread discontent with academic Victorian art in Britain became transmuted by contacts with French Impressionist ideas into a new concept of the role of art and the artist. This beautiful and comprehensive book surveys the exciting developments, debates and personalities amongst French, British and American painters of the period, and the ferment and challenge of their ideas and achievements to which we are grateful heirs. Artists such as Steer, Clansen, O'Conor and Laura Knight depicted an enormous number of urban and rural scenes, refining their ideas into an Impressionist style that is distinctly British.

Book Description: Phaidon Press Ltd, United Kingdom, 1998. Paperback. Book Condition: New. New edition. 280 x 240 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. In the late-19th century, contact with French Impressionist ideas meant that British artists' discontent with academic Victorian art became transmuted into a new concept of the role of art and the artist. In a new awareness of painting, disparate artists merged and refined their ideas on colour, light and form into an Impressionistic style that is distinctly British. Artists such as Philip Wilson Steer, George Clausen, Roderic O'Conor and Dame Laura Knight depicted an enormous variety of urban and rural scenes, from fashionable tennis parties, music-hall entertainers and laundry shops, to goose girls, boat-builders, turnip harvesters and picnickers. This comprehensive book surveys the developments, debates and personalities of those who were among the foremost British artists of the early-20th century, such as Philip Wilson Steer, Walter Richard Sickert, Sir John Lavery and Sir William Rothenstein.
