This volume, featuring highlights from the collections of the Musee d'Orsay in Paris, presents Parisian culture during this period of social and artistic revolution. nouveau vases, lamps and furniture, Beaux Arts sculpture by Rodin, Carpeaux and Dalou, and Impressionist masterworks by Cezanne, Degas, Manet, Monet, Pissarro and Toulouse-Lautrec. This illustrated volume accompanies an exhibition opening at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta and travelling to the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, USA.
