Nature As Muse
Highlighting twenty-two works bequeathed by Frederic C. Hamilton to the Denver Art Museum in 2014, Nature as Muse: Inventing Impressionist Landscape presents a broad-ranging history of Impressionist landscape. This lavishly illustrated second edition begins with the pioneering artists who painted in the Forest of Fontainbleau and such paragons and teachers as Courbet, Corot, Daubigny, Boudin, and Manet. It continues with the central figures of Impressionism-Pissarro, Monet, Renoir, Sisley, and Morisot-and moves to Caillebotte, Cézanne, and Van Gogh, whose works marked the start of a new era. A final chapter on the American painters-Chase, Twachtman, and Hassam-gives an idea of Impressionism's inroads into the United States. The second edition has a new preface and updated provenance information.
