Alfred Sisley: Paintings (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798313913759)

Painter and critic Eug?ne Fromentin considered Alfred Sisley as talented as Renoir, Monet and Pissarro, writing, "He faultlessly conveys those startling moments of perception in which a scene is removed from its surroundings and steeped in an indefinable emotion. He has the power of transcribing such scenes as though he had been searching for them all along, and yet he reveals them with an air of diffidence that disarms while it captivates. He enlarges our perception of Impressionist painting and joins the ranks of the great European Landscapists."
Today, Sisley's paintings are sold for millions of dollars, sharply contrasting with the financial struggles that stayed with him throughout his life. However, he can still be seen as one of the underdogs of the Impressionist era and an often forgotten founder of the movement. Sisley remains an intriguingly unknown figure, as fleeting and intangible as the clouds in the skies above his landscapes.
The present work showcases a fine array of new photographic images of paintings by Alfred Sisley utilizing the Kvamme process of digital enhancement.
