Overview
The Wiley-Blackwell Companion to Impressionism is the first large-scale academic reassessment of Impressionism since the zenith of scholarly debate in the 1980s. Including thirty-four new scholarly essays on Impressionism, the volume gathers established and rising scholars, curators, and conservators specializing in late-ninetheenth century painting, offering the latest in current research and discovery. Revising established questions of chronology, membership, and definition of the movement, the volume primarily pushes into new thematic territory. Covering a wide range of methodologies in Impressionist studies, the essays address such diverse topics as the global influence of Impressionism around 1900 and the style's relationship to the period's new media. One section engages Impressionism's account of modern identity in terms of race, nationality, gender, and sexuality, and another contrasts Impressionism's depictions of the private sphere with its account of public issues such as empire, finance, and environmental change. Other sections rethink the materials and techniques of the Impressionists and newly dissect the movement's critical reception, market, and exhibition history. Taken together, the essays affirm Impressionism's crucial place, in France and beyond, within the late-nineteenth century's manifold cultural innovations and revolutions.
