Dessins Impressionnistes & Post-Impressionnistes

Manet, Pissarro, Morisot, Cézanne, Seurat, Van Gogh and their contemporaries produced some of the finest drawings in the history of art. In the context of late 19th century France, these impressionist and post-impressionist works played as important a role as paintings in the representation of modernity.

Through the study of the drawings of twenty famous 19th-century painters, this book sheds light on a relatively unexplored production and shows how the pictorial innovations of Impressionism gradually permeated the practice of drawing, laying the foundations for future artistic trends.
