Items related to Gustave Moreau: L'Assembleur De Reves 1826-1898...
Moreau's life, although the painter himself did not believe so, casts a singular light on a work in which he was far more involved personally that he imagined: he is one of the forerunners and leading exponents of the symbolist trend that prevailed in the late nineteenth century. This movement actually defined itself by the projection onto the canvas of inner sentiments, often those of the artist himself, and which an accurate knowledge of his biography allows us to better understand, a century after his death, now that the restrictions he imposed on his first biographers have given way to time and that the private apartments conserved in the heart of his museum he had so carefully arranged for posterity have been opened to the public. It is now permitted and possible to present what is known and after all quite a lot is known about the life of the one who called himself the worker assembler of dreams. Since his doctoral thesis at the Sorbonne in 1976, the author has proven to be the best expert on the work and personality of Gustave Moreau, about whom he has written many books translated in several languages. Author of the guidebook of the Musee Gustave Moreau and of the catalogue of his drawings, he also published the painter's writings.

Depuis sa thèse de doctorat d État soutenue à la Sorbonne en 1976, l'auteur s est révélé être le meilleur connaisseur de l uvre et de la personnalité de Gustave Moreau, auquel il a consacré de nombreux ouvrages traduits en plusieurs langues. Cette nouvelle monographie présente la biographie la plus précise qu on puisse établir sur l existence de cet « assembleur de rêves » qui tenait tant à disparaître derrière son uvre. L ouvrage comprend également le Nouveau Catalogue raisonné de l uvre achevé, soit plus de quatre cent cinquante compositions, tableaux ou aquarelles, la plupart reproduites, grâce auxquelles le peintre connut la notoriété de son vivant et qui ne figurent pas au Musée Gustave Moreau où sont exposées les uvres qu il laissait dans son atelier à sa mort et qu il légua à l État français.
