Manet and the French impressionists: Pissarro--Claude Monet--Sisley--Renoir--Berthe Morisot--Cézanne--Guillaumin
Théodore Duret's critical study of Manet and the Impressionists, translated by J. E. Crawford Flitch and published in Philadelphia by Lippincott in 1910 for English-speaking collectors and students of modern French painting. The 32 plates are coarse monochrome halftones of paintings — garden groups, single standing figures, café and boating scenes — reduced to blotted darks and chalky highlights, useful for grainy tonal textures, loose figure silhouettes and soft-focus crowd compositions.
