Description
Book SynopsisIn one unique volume, Arison ushers readers from Auvers to Arles, Giverny to Mont Sainte- Victoire, in her quest to rediscover the lives, dwellings, and paintings of the Impressionists.
In 2000, deeply shaken by her husband''s recent death, author and world traveller Lin Arison took a trip through France with her granddaughter Sarah. Though Arison was in mourning, and Sarah was initially sceptical about art, the two surprised themselves by discovering renewed joy in the work of the Impressionists and the settings that inspired them. In the years that followed, Arison''s personal odyssey became an extraordinary collaboration with photographer Neil Folberg, a collaboration culminating in Travels with Van Gogh and the Impressionists: Discovering the Connections. In one unique volume, Arison ushers readers from Auvers to Arles, Giverny to Mont Sainte- Victoire, in her quest to rediscover the lives, dwellings, and paintings of the Impressionists. En rout
