Book Club for Art Lovers: The Private Lives of the Impressionists

Spring has finally sprung and it's the perfect season for the Book Club for Art Lovers to wander the city streets and country lanes of the 19 Th Century France alongside the famous Impressionists. This month, we are reading Sue Roe's delightful and comprehensive The Private LIves of the Impressionists. Roe's book is not just a biography of the world's most famous artists-Monet, Manet, Degas, Renoir, Cezanne and Cassatt, to name just a few-- it is also the tale of a fledling movement that sought to reveal the world in a way far outside the boundaries of acceptable society.
