Editorials
From Barnes & Noble
John Richardson focuses his study of the great French Impressionist on Manet's development as a painter of superb technical skill. Discussions on color, brushwork, and Manet's "artist's eye" make for a fine introduction to Impressionism in general and Manet in particular.Book Details
