Gustave Courbet

Kathryn Calley Galitz; Dominique Lobstein; Laurence Des Cars; Michel Hilaire; Bertrand Tillier; Sylvain Amic; Bruno Mottin

Synopsis:
Spanning Gustave Courbet's entire artistic career and political involvement, this volume examines his major works - self-portraits, portraits, genre paintings, landscapes, nudes, hunting scenes, and still lifes. Essays shed light on Courbet's development of a realistic, critical style, describe his great influence on both contemporaries and later generations, and consider his works in their own art-historical context, as well as his relationship to early photography.
