Published in 1893, Modern Painting is considered among the first serious attempts to introduce the art of the Impressionists to an English audience. Drawn from articles Moore had written for newspapers and magazines, the book did much to influence the critical reception of this “new” style of painting. He discusses artists Edouard Manet, Alfred Sisley, Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, and Philip Wilson Steer—and includes chapters written on topics in art.
About the author
George Augustus Moore (1852-1933) was a pioneering modern Irish writer. He had to fight against censorship early in his career. Despite the powerful forces arrayed against him, Moore succeeded in establishing realism as a legitimate literary mode. His best-known novels include A Mummer’s Wife (1885) and Esther Waters (1894).
