Painting
The paintings of the Musée d'Orsay. An exceptional collection. Built up over time through purchases by the state, donations and bequests from artists, collectors and patrons, and also thanks to an active acquisitions policy, the Musée d'Orsay's collection of pictures today constitutes an exceptional holding represented by the greatest names and schools of painting between 1848 and 1914: - official art (history painting, portraits and classic landscapes); - symbolism (Moreau, Puvis de Chavannes, Redon); - realism (Courbet, Fantin-Latour); - the Barbizon school (Corot, Millet, Rousseau); - impressionism (Caillebotte, Cézanne, Degas, Manet, Monet, Pissarro, Renoir, Sisley); - post-impression...

French Suite
From Manet to Gericault, Daubigny to Corot, an insightful, breathtakingly original exploration of French art and literature. French Suite examines a range of important French painters and two writers, Baudelaire and Flaubert, from the brothers Le Nain in the mid-seventeenth century to Manet, Degas, and the Impressionists in the later nineteenth century. A principal theme of Michael Fried’s essays is a fundamental concern of his throughout his career: the relationship between painting and the beholder. Fried’s typically vivid and strongly argued essays offer many new readings and unexpected insights, examining both familiar and lesser-known French artistic and literary works.
Théodore Chassériau, 1819-1856
Theodore Chasseriau was one of the most sensual and intellectual painters of his time. A pupil and precocious disciple of Ingres, he also fell under the influence of Delacroix, and he left his mark on both the second generation of Romantic artists and their Symbolist successors. This beautiful book presents more than 250 of Chasseriau's paintings, drawings, and prints. The texts of the essays and entries, as well as the extensive chronology, focus on the artist's personality, his professional and social milieu and on the works themselves, thus providing an in-depth view of the state of the arts in France in the mid-nineteenth century.
Monumental Journey
In 1842, the pioneering French photographer Joseph-Philibert Girault de Prangey (1804–1892) set out eastward across the Mediterranean, daguerreotype equipment in tow. He spent the next three years documenting lands that were then largely unknown to the West, including Greece, Egypt, Turkey, Syria, and Lebanon, in some of the earliest surviving photographic images of these places. Monumental Journey, the first monograph in English on this brilliant yet enigmatic artist, explores the hundreds of daguerreotypes Girault made during his unprecedented trip, offering a rare, early look at sites and cities that have since been altered—sometimes irrevocably—by urban, environmental, and politica...

Picasso
Anlässlich des großen Picasso-Jubiläumsjahres rund um den 50. Todestag des Künstlers, wird der spektakuläre Band zu den frühen Gemälden und Skulpturen Pablo Picassos neu aufgelegt. Die Bilder aus der sogenannten Blauen und Rosa Periode bis hin zum frühen Kubismus, die zwischen 1901 und 1907 entstanden, sind allesamt Meilensteine auf Picassos Weg zum berühmtesten Künstler des 20. Jahrhunderts. 2019 zeigte die Fondation Beyeler in ihrer bis dato hochkarätigsten Ausstellung rund 80 Meisterwerke aus renommierten Museen und Privatsammlungen. Sie zählen nicht nur zu den kostbarsten Kunstwerken überhaupt, sondern auch zu den schönsten und emotionalsten der Moderne. Der Band macht damit das Frühwerk des Ausnahmekünstlers auf einmalige Art und Weise erlebbar.
Gustave Caillebotte
This richly illustrated volume paints a complex portrait of Caillebotte, masculinity, and identity in late nineteenth-century France. More than any other French Impressionist, painter Gustave Caillebotte (1848–1894) observed and depicted the many men in his life, including his brothers and friends, employees, and the workers and bourgeois in his Parisian neighborhood. Male subjects feature prominently in some of his best-known works, such as The Floor Scrapers, Man at His Bath, Young Man at His Window, Boating Party, and Paris Street, Rainy Day. The originality of his paintings of men is fully explored for the first time in this catalogue, published to accompany a major international exhib...
