Customer Reviews

TINY print - small book with LOTS of pages (700+) pictures small but clear

The version dimensions 5.9 x 1.8 x 8 inches with 704 pages is small and very thick. The version with Gauguin's "Two Women on the Beach" is also the small version which is what I received. I just didn't know any better. There ARE larger copies of this book used available and I recommend you try to find it in that version. Different ISBN numbers but well worth it for NICE sized pictures and text you can read without a magnifying glass.

Excellent book, letter too small

I read all the reviews of the book and I really appreciate the quality of the book in terms of writing and in terms of images, but all these reviews are about the previous version of the book. But this new edition in the 25th anniversary is smaller than the other and the text size is too small that is very difficult to read the book. May be the price and the weight of this book is better in some cases but you have to know that if you're looking for an easy reading may be the other edition could be better.

Recommend it

This book feature high quality photos and interesting text. It also covers impressionism outside of France.

A very good reading for serious readers

I received this book as my Birthday gift and ever since, I have found it to be indispensable, the reading is clear, and the author even included some interpretations of the drawings. If you like Anne Holander, Vision of Fabric, then you should consider getting this as well. Not only do I appreciate the text, I end up imitating the paintings illustrated in the book.Get it!

Awesome!

This book is very good! A very nice print and wonderful pictures. Quality is a need in art books and then this is an important matter to buy some. The book go through many aspects of the impressionism movement and is easy to read, I'm not an art expert and find it good to understand.
