In the Gardens of Impressionism

For the first time, this book explores to the full, with dazzling visual accompaniment, the fascinating story of the Impressionist love affair with the new thinking about gardens, their flowers and design, in 19th century France. It discusses the artists both as painters and as gardeners, and offers exciting new interpretations of their art. While the approach is to concentrate on analyses of specific works, the historical context is presented in a clear, informative and engaging manner.
