First published in 1984. The late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries represent not only era of rapidly changing artistic methods but a crucial evolution in art criticism. This book gathers together a wide-range of the criticism that greeted the work of the Impressionists artists in the English Press. The selected examples of praise and antagonism reflect the sentiments expressed in the comments of prominent newspaper and periodical critics. The selection shows the importance of Impressionist art to English art criticism and wide comprehension of the formal qualities in painting. It also demonstrates how forward-looking critics created new criteria for the discussion of modern painting.

EXCELLENT IMAGES OF AMERICA VOLUMEBy LescribeThis is one of the Images of America books; which are really little gems of interesting historical pictures and information on various cities of the United States. I first became interested in them while perusing at our local library; and found several of local interest. I have branched out as Newport Rhode Island is a favorite city of mine; and this book; as indeed; all of them; give a pictoral synopsis which is interesting and worth reading. The publisher has a website; ARCADIA.COM; which gives a more extensive list if you are interested in a particular city or period that may not be available on . These books are not huge but pack a whallop of well written information and pictures for the price. Really excellent for the armchair traveler. Keep in mind; these are not travel books; but rather historical narratives. This one on Newport was very good. Urge you to check them out; if you love history.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Fun Pics of a great cityBy P. robbLots of great pics here.

A Wonderful Historical ArchiveBy Pam WoodMy family has its roots in Rhode Island since its original founding and I was born and raised in Newport. This compendium is stunning and well worth the purchase price.
