Thirty artists branded the \u003ci\u003eIndépendantes\u003c\/i\u003e had allied against the Paris Salon, the capital’s official art show. With their loosely painted ‘impressions’ of modern life, their canvases flouted the conservative standards enforced by the Académie. To crown it all, among the rebels was a woman. The exhibition divided the Paris art world—and changed history.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eNearly 150 years later, the Impressionists still hold audiences enthralled. But while the men have become house-hold names, the women have been side-lined. Yet their tale is even more thrilling. In espousing Impressionism, they didn’t just subvert artistic conventions; they contested social norms. They were the spearheads within the group, financing exhibitions, mediating rifts, and pioneering new techniques. All the while, in private, each woman wrestled with her own doubts and fears.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Way of Seeing \u003c\/i\u003eis an unprecedented portrait of the four most prominent female Impressionists: Berthe Morisot, Mary Cassatt, Eva Gonzalès and Marie Bracquemond. Chronicling the creativity and passions of this revolutionary quartet,\u003ci\u003e A Way of Seeing \u003c\/i\u003etraces the women’s journey along the perilous path of the male-dominated 19th-century Paris art world. From the prejudice encountered, to the cost of pursuing a career at a time when ‘nice girls’ were expected solely to reproduce and keep house – \u003ci\u003eA Way of Seeing\u003c\/i\u003e offers a revelatory perspective on the movement that changed the course of art history.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eFilled with rigorous research and vivid prose, \u003ci\u003eA Way of Seeing\u003c\/i\u003e interweaves these, interconnecting stories into a dramatic tale constellated by famous artistic faces, including Monet, Manet, Renoir, and Degas, as well as fresh perspectives. Morisot, Cassatt, Gonzalès and Bracquemond were far more than just women painters; together, they emerge as powerful feminine icons and a dynamic force behind the Impressionist movement.","brand":"Pegasus Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48700905455871,"sku":"9798897103058","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9798897103058_s600x595.jpg?v=1781632041","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9798897103058","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
