Few movements in art history have so permanently altered the way we see the world as French Impressionism and its radical successor, Post-Impressionism. Margaret Garlick's compact yet authoritative guide presents a clear and engaging survey of these two revolutionary movements, introducing readers to the masterworks and major figures — from Monet and Renoir to Cézanne and Van Gogh — who shattered the academic conventions of 19th-century painting. Published as part of the esteemed National Gallery Booklets series by Oxford University Press, this volume illustrates the philosophical and technical innovations that defined each movement, from the Impressionists' obsession with capturing fleeting light to the Post-Impressionists' bold forays into structure, emotion, and symbolism. Accessible without sacrificing intellectual rigour, it remains an ideal companion for gallery visitors and art enthusiasts alike — leaving the reader with a renewed curiosity about how a handful of painters in Paris changed the course of Western art forever.
