内容提要：

1879年，卡萨特、德加和毕沙罗合作创办了一份以其版画为特色的期刊。在职业生涯的大部分时间里，这个不太可能凑到一起的三人组以版画作为媒介启发和挑战彼此，而这些动力在他们的创作过程中发挥了重要作用。事实上，纸上小幅作品的亲密感激发了艺术家们，达到甚至超过他们的绘画的大胆和创造力的高度。这是本深入研究卡萨特、德加和毕沙罗这三位艺术家的书籍，收录了来自美国各地收藏的作品，以此探索这个未被充分审视的角度。

In 1879, Mary Cassatt, Edgar Degas, and Camille Pissarro collaborated to found a periodical that would feature their prints. For much of their careers, this unlikely trio of artists used the medium of printmaking to inspire and challenge each other, and these dynamics played a crucial role in their creative process. Indeed, the intimacy of the small-scale works on paper spurred the artists to heights of daring and creativity that often exceeded even that of their paintings.

The first in-depth study to focus on Cassatt, Degas, and Pissarro together, Innovative Impressions explores this under-examined aspect of their careers. Highlighting works drawn from collections across the United States, this volume reveals how these impressionists’ collaborative engagement with printmaking helped them to develop a visual language whose expressive potential far surpassed the traditional reproductive purpose of the medium and went on to inspire the uses of color for which these artists later became famous.
