A catalogue produced to accompany an exhibition of the same name held at the National Museum of Singapore in 2011-2012, with a collection of essays on the featured artworks, artist biographies, etc. The works featured in the exhibition and catalogue represent the shift towards modernity in art, that began in the mid 19th century, showcasing seminal paintings from artists including Claude Monet, Paul Cezanne, Manet, Gaugin, van Gogh, Toulouse-Latrec, Degas, among many others. With detailed analysis of the featured artworks by art experts, this book provides insight into the dreams pursued and cherished by artists as well as the realities and challenges they were faced with during a period of intense industrialisation and social change and evolving artistic expression.
