《印象巴黎》内容简介
当美国内战进行得如火如荼时,在大西洋对岸的巴黎,也有一场革命正在各间画室里酝酿成型。那些后来会让印象主义成为历史上最受欢迎的艺术形式的艺术家们在此时展出了自己最初的一批作品,然而他们得到的却是来自法国各个艺术机构的蔑视和嘲笑。这一时期发生的充满争议的戏剧性事件从爱德华•马奈和埃内斯特•梅索尼埃这两个人截然相反的生活经历及职业生涯中可见一斑。此外,这段历史的时代背景还包括普法战争和巴黎公社运动爆发。通过讲述这个史诗性的故事,罗斯•金把那个对后世有深刻影响的时代栩栩如生地展示在读者眼前,那时的巴黎是世界的艺术中心,在那里发生的革命活动足以重塑历史和文化,并引发全世界范围内的共鸣。

"Impression of Paris" content introduction
While the American Civil War was raging, across the Atlantic in Paris, a revolution was taking shape in the studios. The artists who would later make impressionism the most popular art form in history exhibited their first works at this time, but they were met with scorn and ridicule from the French art establishment. The controversial drama of this period can be seen in the contrasting life experiences and careers of Edouard Manet and Ernest Messonnier. In addition, the historical background also includes the Franco-Prussian War and the outbreak of the Paris Commune movement. In telling this epic story, Ross King brings to life a time of profound influence, when Paris was the art center of the world, and the revolution that took place there was enough to reshape history and culture and resonate around the world.
