"Some of the most iconic and influential images of nineteenth-century French painting, including Gustave Courbet's famous 'The Meeting ("Bonjour, Monsieur Courbet"), highlight the celebrated Bruyas collection from the Musee Fabre in Montpellier. With tastes ranging from romanticism to realism, Alfred Bruyas (1821-1887) collected both traditional and what was then avante-garde art. Featuring nine masterpieces by Courbet, as well as important paintings, drawings, and sculptures by such leading artists of the period as Delacroix, Ingres, Gericault, Millet, Corot, Rousseau, and Barye, this book examines Bruyas's role as one of the foremost collectors of contemporary art in France, and the significance of his patronage of living artists." 255 page. *NOTE: Due to size and weight of book additional shipping may be required for out-of-U.S. shipment in conjunction with destination.

The result is gardens which have the intimacy of a diary or memoir, indeed the accounts by the contributors often read like leaves torn from a jounral, full of passion and idiosyncrasy as their pride and prejudice are revealed. These are private arcadias into which we, the public, are now allowed to pry. How generous they are to unfold the pag es for our contemplation. How much one understands the contributor who unashamedly states that the essence of her garden is that it is a closed world." ; FINE/FINE. Book.
