pp. xiii 449, b/w and color illustrations, “presents an engrossing account of the years from 1863?when paintings denied entry into the French Academy’s yearly Salon were shown at the Salon des Refusés?to 1874, the date of the first Impressionist exhibition. To dramatize the conflict between academicians and innovators during these years, he follows the careers of two formidable, and very different, artists: Jean-Louis-Ernest Meissonier, a conservative painter celebrated for detailed historical subjects, and Édouard Manet, whose painting Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe caused an uproar at the Salon des Refusés. Many other artists of the day, among them Courbet, Degas, Morisot, Monet and Cézanne, are included in King’s compelling narrative, and the story is further enhanced by the author’s vivid portrayal of artistic life in Paris during a turbulent era that saw the siege of the city by the Prussians and the fall of Napoleon III.” paperback edition
