Impressionists. The Riddle of Shadows

Alexander Tairov is a talented artist, art critic, popularizer of the works of great painters. Edgar Degas, Camille Pissarro, Alfred Sisley, Paul Cezanne, Georges Seurat are the heroes of this book, which reveals the mysteries of these amazing personalities, the secrets of their craft and the world of images of their canvases.

Impressionism is not without reason called the quintessence of painting. The interaction of color, highlights, light and shadow, a unique inimitable technique allow paintings to live in the space and time of the century, and their creator to be on everyone's lips.

Why did Degas' friends call him the wittiest artist with the nastiest character? How did Pissarro create the methodology of impressionism? Why did Cezanne criticize the impressionists? How thorny is the path to perfection? What is the price of a harmonious composition and rhythm of paintings? How does color come to life on the canvases of masters?

The author talks to us about this and much more in his book.
