Understanding Puvis de Chavannes (1824-1898) is crucial to reading the history of art of the late nineteenth century and the development of modernism. Internationally heralded yet sometimes scorned, much exhibited, respected and emulated, an artist's artist of pivotal importance to the generation of post-Impressionists from Seurat and Gauguin to Matisse and Picasso, Puvis' work is not readily categorized. Often associated with classicizing imagery, he was an artist of great range, originality and radically idiosyncratic invention. He executed great mural complexes, compelling easel paintings and numerous works on paper that included lyrical watercolours, pastels and fierce caricatures. Presented in two complementary volumes - a critical study of the artist's life and art and a catalogue raisonne of his painted work - this book introduces many of his works for the first time, assesses his contribution and restores him to the pantheon of modern masters.Volume I situates Puvis and his work in his time. With a wealth of new documentation, unpublished correspondence and images, Aimee Brown Price addresses the theories, forces and events that impinged on his art, as well as examining the work of his progenitors, contemporaries and followers. She contextualizes his themes, the development of his special decorative aesthetic - and its importance in establishing a new kind of imagery - and his modernized allegorical figures; and she discusses such topics as his atelier and teaching, the marketing of his work and his role in the art establishment of the 1890s.Volume II is a complete compendium of Puvis' easel paintings and mural cycles for civic buildings throughout France as well as the for Boston Public Library. Each work is analysed in terms of its genesis, distinct iconography, and style. A revised dating of the several versions of some of Puvis' best-known paintings indicates heretofore unrecognized late reprisals and offers a new index to the evolution of his style.

Projects of John and Dominique De Menil

Prijs Euro 65.95

This lavishly illustrated book is the first to examine the significant contributions of John and Dominique de Menil to art, architecture, and the civil and human rights movements. The de Menils, who moved to Houston from France in 1941, amassed one of the world's great private art collections and became passionately involved in the cause of human rights.The volume includes a discussion of the building of the de Menils' art collection; their patronage of modern architecture in Houston; their embrace of modernism; their leadership in Houston's civil rights movement and in human rights projects worldwide; their commissioning of works of art and catalogue raisonnes; and their establishment of the Rothko Chapel, the Menil Collection, the Cy Twombly Gallery, the Dan Flavin Installation, and the Byzantine Fresco Chapel Museum. Vintage photographs, many taken by Henri Cartier Bresson, previously unpublished correspondence with artists, and an illustrated chronology all add to this textured tribute to the de Menils' e xtraordinary achievements.

Modeltekeningen van Jaap Nieuwenhuis

Prijs Euro 22.50

"Jaap Nieuwenhuis doceerde in de jaren zeventig modeltekenen op de academies in Groningen en Kampen. Nieuwenhuis had de gewoonte tijdens de lessen met de studenten mee te tekenen. In een krachtige, zelfverzekerde stijl, resultaat van jarenlang kijken en tekenen, schetste hij met een paar geconcentreerd dansende lijnen de modellen die voor hem en zijn studenten stonden. Zo leverde elke les hem opnieuw een meesterproef in inkt op. Een selectie uit de tientallen schetsboeken van Nieuwenhuis vomt de basis voor deze uitgave, die een indringend beeld geeft van een kunstoefening - het modeltekenen - die ten onrechte nauwelijks meer onderwezen wordt."
De inleiding bij dit boek is geschreven door Gijsbert van der Wal.
