Fine, First Edition Hardcover. Published by Pomegranate Artbooks in 1993, 96 pages, 7.25 x 9.25". Savor in this beautiful book, the succulent dishes from both classic and bourgeois French cuisine, in a delightfully idiosyncratic selection of meals, snacks, paintings, and personalities. Impressionist Picnics is an anthology which brings together a combination of images and recipes, inspired by the founding members of the Impressionist movement and extending to later artists working in the same spirit of cheerful hedonism. Gillian Riley takes us from Manet's shocking Le Dejeuner sur l'Herbe of 1865, to Cezanne's later versions of the same informal subject. Taking in Parisian cafe society: family life with the Monets at Giverny, hearty sporting lunches,Bonnard's colorful meals in the Midi, Mary Cassatt's leisurely boating expedition, and Vuillard's formidable mother along the way.
