Awesome book

This is one of the best books about art and artists I've ever encountered. The format is great - paintings of a similar scene by two different Impressionists - sometimes painted at the same time, from the same vantage point - are presented side by side, with lucid text describing the differences in the artists' approaches.

The best perspective on the innerworld of Impresionists.

This is a remarkable book. The side by side comparisions of the paintings help you appreciate each artists differences and the impressionist movement as a whole. It is a perfect gift. And is unique as a coffee table book you would actually read. You must buy this book!
