Book Club for Art Lovers: Impressionism

Spring has finally sprung! Let's wander the city streets and country lanes of France alongside famous Impressionists.

Spring has finally sprung, and it's the perfect season for the Book Club for Art Lovers to wander the city streets and country lanes of the 19th-century France alongside the famous Impressionists. This month, we are reading Sue Roe's delightful and comprehensive The Private Lives of the Impressionists.

Roe's book is not just a biography of the world's most famous artists - Monet, Manet, Degas, Renoir, Cezanne, and Cassatt, to name just a few - it is also the tale of a fledgling movement that sought to reveal the world in a way far outside the boundaries of acceptable society. Come along with us as we get to know the beloved Impressionists, and take a front row seat as they change the very nature of art forever.
