Impressions of Giverny - A Painter's Paradise 1883-1914

By Rosalie Gomes, Pb., 120 pages, ills., 1995 Text: English

This book tells the story of the Giverny artist's colony from the arrival of the first American artists in 1885 to the outbreak of World War I in 1914, when most of the artists left Giverny. It combines full-color reproductions of 75 of the most beautiful paintings produced by the 'colonists' with historical photographs and elucidating text by Roslaie Gomes. This is a fond look back at a marvellous moment in the history of art - and in the history of the world.
