Impressionist Still Life

This book will accompany an exhibition to be held at the Phillips Collection in Washington, D.

C., and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Seventeen artists will be featured, including Cezanne, Renoir, Caillebotte, Pissarro, Monet, Manet, and Van Gogh.

Still life is an increasingly popular subject for exhibitions: witness the success of the Chardin show at the Metropolitan Museum and our own Manet Still Life Paintings.

With its accompanying exhibition opening in Baltimore at the end of January after a very successful run at the Musee d'Orsay in Paris, it is a subject that has not been done to death, and these are beautiful and accessible works.

The selection of works shown in this book is superb.
