Publisher's Synopsis
The channel port of Le Havre played a key role in the development of Impressionist painting: it was there that Monet painted Impression: Sunrise, the work that gave the movement its name. Many other artists of the period were associated with the town, from Monet?s teacher Boudin to the colourful and exuberant favourite of a younger generation, Raoul Dufy. - - Boudin to Dufy is the catalogue of an exhibition of paintings from Le Havre, with works by Monet, Sisley and Pissarro, Dufy and Marquet, together with a substantial group of paintings and sketches by Boudin. The volume includes essays on the history of the collection by Françoise Cohen, and on the artistic response to the port by John House. The book is the only publication available in English on this major French provincial collection. -
