John House Livres
John House fut le doyen des historiens de l'impressionnisme. Loin d'être superficiels ou conciliants, les impressionnistes furent révélés dans les écrits de House comme des observateurs perspicaces du changement social. Au lieu d'être un mouvement autonome, ils furent présentés comme de fins négociateurs des conventions et institutions artistiques. House joua un rôle essentiel dans la transformation de l'étude académique de cette période et présida au développement de son appréciation publique à travers les expositions spectaculaires qu'il a organisées.
