Author: Le Men, Segolene
Many people know that Impressionism initially encountered severe censure from the art establishment. Fewer people know the pivotal role that a group of collectors played in defending and championing the burgeoning movement. These select collectors not only purchased pieces from Impressionist artists but also displayed the works in private, publicised the movement internationally and eventually donated their collections to museums. This title profiles a number of these collectors.Functioning as advisors, curators and publicists in addition to collectors, they were truly instrumental in cementing the movement’s prominent position within art history. This title spotlights collectors such as Depeaux, De Nittis, the Palmers, O’Hara, Bührle, Caillebotte and Fayet – many of whom figure as the subjects of detailed case studies. Sixteen international specialists reexamine and reassess their contribution to one of the most revered art movements of all time.
