Full Description
Impressionism may have originated in France, but artists in late
ninetienth and early twentienth century Netherlands quickly
made it their own. The genre's vibrant colors and focus on light
and atmosphere were a perfect complement to the country's
groundbreaking traditions of landscape painting and realism.
This exhibition catalog brings more than a hundred works by
nearly forty artists including Johan Barthold Jongkind, Vincent
van Gogh, Jacoba van Heemskerck, and Piet Mondrian. It traces
the birth of the Hague School, whose practitioners captured the
changing moods of light in the coastline's vast, grey skies. And
it explores the Amsterdam Impressionists, whose cityscapes
offered realistic images of modern life. Alongside vibrant
reproductions of masterworks, a series of lively essays explore
a diverse array of topics, including Dutch landscape painting
within an international context; Dutch artist settlements and
communities; and iconography in Dutch impressionism.
