In the vein of Museyon's Art + Travel Europe, this colorful and information-packed gem will appeal to travelers to Paris as well as those interested in learning about impressionism. The book gives a nice overview of impressionism and the artists. It also provides seven museum tours, eight Paris walking tours, and details on Normandy, Giverny, Rouen, and other areas outside of Paris and their importance to Impressionist artists. The museum tours provide background information about various paintings, and the walking tours lead readers past cafés, parks, and scenes that inspired the artists. This lovely guide is enhanced with numerous color photographs and painting reproductions.
Verdict The publisher successfully combines an art course and travel guide for those who wish to focus on impressionism on their visit to Paris and read up on impressionism before traveling as well as for readers who can't make the trip but appreciate the art.-Louise Feldmann, Colorado State Univ.
