The Chronicle of Impressionism: An Intimate Diary of the Lives and World of the Great Artists by Bernard Denvir, ISBN 0500282145
When Monet falls and injures his leg, young Frederic Bazille entertains the sufferer by painting his portrait in bed; when Monet is penniless and his mistress pregnant, Bazille buys a painting out of charity. But Bazille dies in the Franco-Prussian War, while Monet lives on to become a great master and to enjoy a productive and prosperous old age lasting well into the twentieth century.
This story, which stretches from the 1860s to the 1920s, is just one of a vast number of intriguing narratives that weave through this unique diary of the Impressionist movement. From the rise of Manet as the most controversial artist of the mid-nineteenth century to the record-breaking prices achieved at auction in the late twentieth century, the most important artistic events, exhibitions, and sales are chronicled, as are the artists' personal lives: their relationships, children, allegiances, political activities, passions, obsessions, hatreds, and quarrels.
Carefully selected extracts from the artists' private letters and diaries, and from reviews and studies, allow the reader to hear the voices and opinions of the time. Contemporary historical events -- political, economic, social, and cultural -- are recorded in parallel with the artistic developments. A huge number of images of all kinds -- paintings and drawings, photographs, posters, book jackets, letters, and even caricatures -- reveal the splendor of the great masterpieces and the reality of the world in which they were created.
The Chronicle of Impressionism is a complete record of the artists and their times, tracing the story of Impressionism as it unfolds. This is the one indispensable guide to the movement that, more than any other,has shaped the path of modern painting.
Rough Wrangler, Tender Kisses by Jill Gregory, ISBN 0440235480
She called him cowboy. He called her princess.
Caitlin Summers had come west for one reason only: to sell the Wyoming ranch that had belonged to her late father. But Cloud Ranch wasn't hers to sell--not as long as foreman Wade Barclay and his two brothers were majority owners. According to the will, Caitlin couldn't sell her share until she'd lived there...for a whole year! For the debt-ridden Philadelphia beauty, the situation was intolerable. She never imagined that the rough, infuriating wrangler would awaken every tender emotion buried in her heart.
To Wade Barclay, Caitlin Summers was just a spoiled society girl--even if she was also the daughter of the man who'd been a father to him in all but name. Caitlin had broken her father's heart when she and her mother left Wyoming, and Wade had no intention of letting her do the same to him. But living together under the same roof was hard on a man. One stolen kiss was all it took to make him wild with wanting her. As the days passed,...
