Author Description

"Paris in the Age of Impressionism captures the excitement of late nineteenth-century Paris as an explosion of new ideas made the city the capital of the art world. Paris was home not only to the Impressionists but also to radical colorists, innovative designers, and thoughtful painters who recorded modern life in painstaking detail. Paris in the Age of Impressionism includes more than a hundred superb objects from all areas of the Musee d'Orsay's vast collections, including paintings, sculpture, decorative arts, works on paper, and photographs."--BOOK JACKET.
