Book Reviews of The Judgment of Paris: The Revolutionary Decade That Gave the World Impressionism
Book Review: A Real Pageturner...oddly enough for a biography
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm nowhere near an artsy type, but this book was so compelling and interesting! I found myself thinking 'what's gonna happen next? will manet ever sell a painting?' And I had no idea Manet, Monet, Renoir, Cezanne, and Degas all knew each other. But even more surprising was that I'd never heard of Meissoniet. I've checked some of his works and they really are very good.
The thing about art is that there's room for all types of expression. We humans are too complex to feel only one way every day. What Manet and the rest did was share their point of view. Anybody can look at a field, but it's the personal take that turns it into art. None of us see the same thing.
I listened to this on audio, and the narrator is wonderful. It was 13 cd's but they flew. Books like these may not be for the connoisseur, but they're great for waking up the masses. And if no one understands what you're saying, you may as well keep yer yap shut. Eh? Right? Y'know?
