Summary:

In the mid-nineteenth century Arthur Rimbaud, the volatile genius of French poetry, invented a language that captured the energy and visual complexity of the modern world. This book explores some of the technical aspects of this language in relation to the new techniques brought forth by such Impressionist painters as Monet, Morisot and Pissarro.

Dr Aimée-Pelletier is Associate Professor and Head of French at the University of Texas at Arlington. Book jacket.
