Publisher's Synopsis
The book begins with a biography of Sisley written by Christopher Lloyd. Next Caroline Durand-Ruel Godfroy's discussion of Sisley's relationship with his European dealers and William Johnston's commentary on early American collections of works by Sisley shed light on contemporary attitudes toward his art. Isabelle Cahn then provides a detailed documentary chronology of Sisley's works. The catalogue that follows includes full data on sixty-five of Sisley's paintings. The works are arranged chronologically and are accompanied by introductions by Mary Anne Stevens, Christopher Lloyd, William Johnston, and Sylvie Gache-Patin that review relevant locations, stylistic developments, and critical response to Sisley's art.
