As a naturalistic writer, he was amongst the first English-language authors to absorb the lessons of the French realists, and was particularly influenced by the works of mile Zola.

Modern Painting was published in 1893. It was the first significant attempt to introduce the Impressionists to an English audience.

Autorenporträt
George Moore, whose full name is George Augustus Moore, was an Irish author and man of letters. He was born on February 24, 1852, in Ballyglass, County Mayo, and passed away in London, England, on January 21, 1933. He was formerly regarded as a pioneer in the field of fiction, but his significance has diminished with time. Moore hailed from a wealthy Irish Catholic landowner family. He moved to Paris to pursue his dream of becoming a painter when he was 21. Edouard Manet and Moore got along well, and the artist drew three portraits of Moore. His first autobiography, Confessions of a Young Man, is another account of the years in Paris in which he introduced the younger generation in England to his interpretation of fin de siècle decadence (1888). He was one of the earliest English-language naturalist writers to learn from the French realists. The literary critic and biographer Richard Elman claims that Moore's writings had an impact on James Joyce. Moore's work is frequently recognized as the first great contemporary Irish novelist, despite occasionally being seen as being outside the mainstream of both Irish and British literature.
