description: Working on site with speed and directness, impressionist artists hoped to distinguish their works with a new immediacy, yet the paintings they exhibited were almost always completed in the studio later. This beautifully illustrated book investigates for the first time the impressions, or painted sketches, that some of the best-known artists of the Impressionist movement actually finished on the spot.
