Impressionism was not always as widely known and loved as it is today. Contemporary critics were harsh and few works were acquired by European museums in the late nineteenth century. Impressionism: Paintings Collected by European Museums reveals the movement's historic struggle for acceptance, a story never fully told in the United States. This is a look at the history of collecting Impressionism - who collected it, when, and why - and why not.
