Beginning in the 18th century until the late 1880’s, the publication of dress engravings was highly successful. At the same time, historical painters and critics showed an increasing interest in the accuracy of dress. This article does not propose to give an exhaustive inventory, but it will illustrate the connections between painters and the publications of engravings. Owing to artists and teachers of the Art Academies, this type of publication, invented in the 16th century, experienced new developments in the 18th century, both in its scientific aspects and in the importance of illustrations (Dandré-Bardon, Lens, Mulliot) and mav be seen as an answer to the desire of the artistic world, from painters to actors. The publications, that deal essentially with the middle ages and modern times, appear only after 1810, following the works of several painters (Brenet for example). Ho...

Depuis l'exposition organisee en 1961 par le musee Jacquemart-Andre a Paris, son oeuvre n'avait fait l'objet d'aucune retrospective en France. Apres avoir recu en depot du musee d'Orsay le Portrait de Berthe Morisot a l'eventail (1874) d'Edouard Manet, le palais des Beaux-Arts de Lille a souhaite rendre hommage au peintre et au modele. Une centaine d'oeuvres restitue la diversite de ses recherches artistiques, tandis qu'est rassemble, pour la premiere fois, l'essentiel des portraits que Manet consacra a Berthe Morisot entre 1868 -lorsqu'elle commenca a poser pour le celebre Balcon du musee d'Orsay - et 1874.

This beautiful book features works by more than 30 artists, including well-known painters such as Vincent van Gogh, Edouard Manet, and Paul Cezanne as well as less familiar figures such as Antoine Berjon and Simon Saint-Jean. Insightful essays reveal the emerging dialogue between the floral still life, botanical illustration, and models of science; the critical context for instruction in and reception of flower painting; the misunderstood relationship between avant-garde flower painting and the market; the cultural meanings of the vases and ceramic vessels depicted by painters; and the literary context for flower painting.

Il occupe neanmoins [...] une situation exceptionnelle et a laquelle seule celle de Rodin peut etre comparee", regrettait le critique Mathias Morhardt en 1913. Pres de cent ans plus tard, Hodler reste un peintre meconnu en dehors de la Suisse et des pays germaniques. Il s'est pourtant impose en Europe au tournant des XIX e et XX e siecles comme une figure majeure du symbolisme. Peintre d'histoire et de figures, paysagiste exceptionnel, il inventa un art simplifie, monumental et expressif, ouvrant la voie a l'abstraction et a l'expressionnisme. C'est a une veritable decouverte qu'invite l'exposition du musee d'Orsay a travers pres de 80 tableaux, une trentaine de dessins et des photographies.

This book explores how Durand-Ruel discovered, exhibited, and shaped an audience for Impressionist paintings at a time when they were not yet appreciated. Durand-Ruel first encountered key Impressionist painters in the early 1870s and guided many of their careers for decades. A passionate advocate of the Impressionists, he established personal ties with these artists and developed new markets for them by opening branches of his Paris gallery in London, Brussels, and New York. Featuring essays by leading scholars, this handsome volume provides a biography of the man and the trajectory of his career. It also examines his relationships with artists and buyers and his groundbreaking business practices, such as embracing the idea of the solo show, publishing art reviews, and paying artists stipends-often at great financial risk and personal cos...
