The Deaths of Henri Regnault
This is the first book in many years about the nineteenth-century French artist Henri Regnault. Controversial and celebrated in his day, Regnault did not live long. He died at the age of 28 in the Franco-Prussian War, becoming a hero of the French nation. What sets him apart from the more conventional members of the French academy is his great skill in painting Oriental exotic subjects and doing so in a highly materialistic vein designed to produce, through elements like gold paint, garish colors, and odd details, blatant amusement for the eye. In a word, his images are both delightful and awful. Gotlieb s book combines biography, history, and comparative readings of works by Regnault with those by other French artists such as Delacroix, Fromentin, and Renoir. It also, importantly, explores the afterlives of Regnault as a cultural and artistic figure, as well as his diminishment during the rise of modernism and his eventual demise in the history of art."

Le château d'en face
Après " En d'autres temps " (1970, " la suite des temps " (1974) et " le temps qui court " (1977), voici le quatrième tome des mémoires du Duc de Brissac. De 1974 à 1985 le monde change. La crise pétrolière, celle de la sidérurgie ne peuvent laisser indifférent l'ancien administrateur du Creusot. Sur le plan politique, Giscard d'Estaing, cousin par sa femme du Duc, succède à Pompidou, puis Mitterrand à Giscard. Cela fournit à l'auteur habitué des salons officiels, l'occasion de nous donner de savoureux portraits des grands de ce monde. Au sein des changements le Duc maintient la tradition, celle de la chasse bien s-r, du jockey club ou de la défense du patrimoine avec les Amis de Versailles. À 86 ans, il a conservé la vivacité et l'humour qui ont enchanté nombre de lecteurs et en guise de clin d'oeil au destin, il appelle ce volume " le château d'en face " nom que la tradition familiale donne à la dernière demeure des Brissac au fond du parc.
