Appelez-Moi Degas
Degas raconte lui-même sa vie et son oeuvre sans discours d'Histoire de l'Art, simplement à partir de propos qu'il a lui-même tenu de son vivant. Appelez-moi Monsieur Degas si ça vous chante, ou faites comme tout le monde et appelez-moi Degas, sans plus.... Le ton est donné, le décor est planté. Interrogé à la fin de sa vie, Degas se raconte au fil des pages uniquement à partir de propos qu'il a tenus en répondant aux questions posées par Julie. Cela permet d'être au plus près de l'artiste, du peintre, de l'homme tel qu'il se percevait et voulait que l'on se souvienne de lui. Une grande partie de ce texte a servi pour mettre en images L'impossible Monsieur Degas, documentaire d...
Corot
Corot has been considered many things: a precursor of Impressionism, with his sophisticated plays of light; a Romantic for his lyrical landscapes; a Realist, since he painted directly from nature. His devotion to nature brought him close to the Realists, and his sensitive studies of light and shade, often painted in the open air, and the freedom of his brushwork has a marked influence on the Impressonists. There is more to Corot than landscape - his poetic evocation of classical myth, the sensuos charm of his portraits of women and his dream-like vision of women. This study of Corot includes extracts from journals and newpapers.
Les peintres belges actifs à Paris au XVIIIe siècle à l'exemple de Jacques François Delyen, peintre ordinaire du Roi (Gand, 1684 - Paris, 1761)
Jacques-François Delyen est un peintre né en 1684 à Gand où il apprend son métier, et décédé en 1761, à Paris. Elève de Nicolas de Largillierre (son égal dans ses meilleures toiles), il y est élu à l'Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture en 1725 et accompli toute sa carrière à Paris, après un passage de trois ans à l'Académie de France à Rome. Cette thèse reconstitue sa vie, le catalogue de son oeuvre et le milieu des 130 peintres belges actifs à Paris au XVIIIe siècle. Ces recherches démontrent que l'on peut espérer mieux connaître les 732 peintres belges du XVIIIe siècle, tant sous-estimés, par un retour aux sources ainsi qu'une analyse approfondie de la bibliographie et des oeuvres. Cinq domaines connexes ont également profités d'apports nouveaux.
Manet/Velázquez
Here approximately two hundred works by French and Spanish artists chart the development of this cultural influence and map a fascinating shift in the paradigm of painting, from Idealism to Realism, from Italy to Spain, from Renaissance to Baroque. Above all, these images demonstrate how direct contact with Spanish painting fired the imagination of nineteenth-century French artists and brought about the triumph of Realism in the 1860s, and with it a foundation for modern art."--BOOK JACKET.
The Artist as Animal in Nineteenth-Century French Literature
The Artist as Animal in Nineteenth-Century French Literature traces the evolution of the relationship between artists and animals in fiction from the Second Empire to the fin de siècle. This book examines examples of visual literature, inspired by the struggles of artists such as Edouard Manet and Vincent van Gogh. Edmond and Jules de Goncourt’s Manette Salomon (1867), Émile Zola’s Therèse Raquin (1867), Jules Laforgue’s “At the Berlin Aquarium” (1895) and “Impressionism” (1883), Octave Mirbeau’s In the Sky (1892-1893) and Rachilde’s L’Animale (1893) depict vanguard painters and performers as being like animals, whose unique vision revolted against stifling traditions....
Corot
Published to accompany a major exhibition of Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot's paintings held in Paris and Ottawa during 1996, and forthcoming to New York. From nearly 3,000 paintings by this poetic 19th-century artist, the curators chose 163 works, which are reproduced here along with full art-historical discussions of each. Three major essays chronicle Corot's life and the development of his art; additional essays elucidate the subject of forgeries and describe the collecting of his works. Much original new scholarship is included along with a review of the scholarly literature, a concordance, and a chronology. 9.5x12.5"Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Dictionary of Artists' Models
The first reference work devoted to their lives and roles, this book provides information on some 200 artists' models from the Renaissance to the present day. Most entries are illustrated and consist of a brief biography, selected works in which the model appears (with location), a list of further reading. This will prove an invaluable reference work for art historians, librarians, museum and gallery curators, as well as students and researchers.
