Sinopsis

In 2000, deeply shaken by her husbandGCOs recent death, author and world traveler Lin Arison took a trip through France with her granddaughter Sarah. Though Arison was in mourning, and Sarah was initially skeptical about art, the two surprised themselves by discovering renewed joy in the work of the Impressionists and the settings that inspired them.In the years that followed, ArisonGCOs personal odyssey became an extraordinary collaboration with photographer Neil Folberg, a collaboration culminating in Travels with Van Gogh and the Impressionists: Discovering the Connections. In one unique volume, Arison ushers readers from Auvers to Arles, Giverny to Mont Sainte- Victoire, in her quest to rediscover the lives, dwellings, and paintings of the Impressionists. En route, she debunks long-held myths about Van Gogh and Berthe Morisot, befriends twenty-first-century descendants of some of the masters, and finds inspiration in the ImpressionistsGCO mutually supportive relationships. Gracefully blending memoir, travelogue, art history, and biography, ArisonGCOs intimate narrative brings new insight to our understanding of these artists and their legacy.Interspersed with ArisonGCOs text, and with handsome reproductions of the original masterpieces, Neil FolbergGCOs photographs capture the central spirit of the ImpressionistsGCO work and reapply that spirit to contemporary subjects and settings. Following an intuitive sensibility that never misses its mark, Folberg deploys each artistGCOs individual vision to new and striking ends, undergoing an artistic transformation of his own in the process.Together, ArisonGCOs words and FolbergGCOs images explore the enduring impact of FranceGCOs great late nineteenth-century painters, and the ways in which their revolutionary visions of their own world still impart great meaning and beauty to ours.
