"With two hundred Cézannes, twenty-three Monets, and more than fifty Renoirs, the Philadelphia Museum of Art's Impressionist and Post-Impressionist collection is one of the most significant in the country. This publication--the first by the museum dedicated to these popular works--provides stunning images and engaging entries on more than seventy-five highlights from the collection, including Paul Cézanne's The Large Bathers, Edgar Degas's Little Dancer, Aged Fourteen, Vincent van Gogh's Sunflowers, Claude Monet's Japanese Bridge and Waterlily Pond, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's Moulin Rouge, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir's Large Bathers. Paintings, sculpture, and drawings by figures such as Mary Cassatt, Georges Seurat, Éouard Manet, Camille Pissarro, Alfred Sisley, Berthe Morisot, and Auguste Rodin are presented together, providing a rich and encompassing view of these artists and the innovative works they created across mediums"-- Provided by publisher.
