Since its introduction, Impressionism has never really gone out of style. Most people find it irresistible, and there are numerous fine artists carrying on this tradition. Ranson is an accomplished artist, teacher, and author (Watercolor Fast & Loose, LJ 1/90). Here he assembles the work of 14 renowned contemporary watercolor impressionists. More than 100 paintings are shown, accompanied by Ranson's astute comments. A lovely book for anyone who loves watercolors.
