Impressionist Gardens

by Judith Bumpus

Monet once said that his only two interests in life were painting and gardening. His enthusiasm for gardening was shared by his fellow Impressionists, in particular Renoir, Pissarro, and Sisley. This beautifully illustrated book chronicles the Impressionists’ love affair with gardens and flowers, and presents an inspiring selection of works that capture perfectly the sun-drenched colors and changing moods of the gardens they cultivated and painted. The full-color illustrations include many close-up details, revealing the artists' techniques. This is a splendid book for art lovers and garden lovers alike.
