Les dessins de Millet (1814-1875) eurent une grande influence sur la génération des artistes d'avant-garde, Edgar Degas, Camille Pissarro, Georges Seurat, Vincent Van Gogh, mais aussi sur les tenants les plus officiels du naturalisme académique, Jules Breton ou Léon Lhermitte. Cette descendance féconde - et en apparence paradoxale - reflète la complexité de son œuvre où se trouvent tout à la fois un réalisme balayant toute convention académique, une idéalisation liée à une recherche synthétique de la forme, portant les germes d'une puissante évolution esthétique, et une filiation profonde avec la tradition des grands maîtres. Marie-Pierre Salé, conservateur au musée d'Orsay
This volume presents 115 drawings and paintings from the holdings of collector Karen B. Cohen. The 19th-century French and English works include landscapes, portraits, figure compositions, and still lifes by great artists of the romantic period and of the Barbizon and Realist schools, beginning with Prud'hon and ending with Seurat. Among the highlights is a group of little known works by Courbet and a series of cloud studies by Constable. Ives (curator, The Metropolitan Museum of Art) provides documentation and commentary for each work, placing it within the context of the artist's development and connecting it to contemporary artistic trends and innovations. Curator Elizabeth E. Barker contributed entries on Constable and Bonington. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR
Fables in Frames argues that the increased interest in the fables of La Fontaine during the nineteenth century resulted largely from the activities of artists, who offered the seventeenth-century fables new contexts for a post-Revolution age. First in caricature and book illustration and later in Salon painting, artists transformed the fables to comment on contemporary issues. The goal of this study is to tackle the general issue of why La Fontaine's fables appeared in art at all during the nineteenth century and to explore the specific questions of how certain artists made those texts culturally normative.
