Weekends With the Impressionists: A Collection from the National Gallery of Art, Washington - Hardcover
The impressionists left a celebrated and much-loved legacy of paintings that depict the pleasures of turn-of-the-century France. These images of gardens and picnics, days spent boating on the river, and summer evenings in town sparkle with life, light, and color.
By bringing together these alluring pictures, from such artists as Money, Renoir, and Cassatt, with inspired quotations from the painters and their literary friends, including Zola, Flaubert, and de Maupassant, Weekends with the Impressionists is the ideal impressionist memento. It is a charming collection of visual idylls and quiet moments that evoke a world of leisure, repose, and simple indulgence--all to the delight of today's reader.

Review:
Organized into three thematic sections--"Days and Nights in Town," "Outdoors in Gardens and the Countryside," and "Excursions to the Seaside"--this charming, 7 1/2-square-inch gift book features impressionist works from the collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. These much-loved visual idylls of 18th-century France from artists such as Bonnard, Degas, Morisot, Monet, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Cassatt, among others, are paired with quotations from the painters and their literary friends such as Zola, Flaubert, Maupassant, and Proust. The words and images evoke a nostalgic world of leisure, repose, indulgence, and exuberance for life and art that continues to captivate and enchant us. As Monet summed it up, "Painting and the joy of seeing flowers, this is enough for my happiness."
