Description
Alfred Sisley remains one of the least known of the major Impressionists. Although a prolific artist, the uneven quality of his output has made it difficult to clearly establish his particular place within the history of Impressionism. A major international exhibition (of which this is the catalogue) in London in July 1992 before moving on to Baltimore and the Musee d'Orsay in Paris. By concentrating on only the highest quality pictures from throughout his career, his contribution to the forging of Impressionism in the 1860s, his mastery of style in the 1870s and his resolution of the problems of technique in the 1880s are all explored and illustrated. In addition, his individual exploration of the idea of serial painting in the 1890s is also examined.
