Les Manuscrits enluminés occidentaux
Les Manuscrits enluminés occidentaux
Andréï Sterligov, Tamara Voronova

Quiconque a eu la chance de tenir entre ses mains des livres manuscrits du Moyen Âge a certainement été ému de ce contact direct avec un passé retrouvé. Les oeuvres d’auteurs célèbres, ou parfois même à jamais anonymes, s’animent sous ses yeux : anciens traités de philosophie, de sciences naturelles et de théologie, romans de chevalerie et poèmes courtois, oeuvres d’humanistes et de savants théologiens traduisant et commentant les classiques antiques, de voyageurs décrivant leurs incroyables pérégrinations, de chroniqueurs héroïques sauvant pour la postérité des événements de l’histoire emportés par le temps.

Francisco Goya
Francisco Goya
Sarah Carr-Gomm
Francisco Goya (1746-1828) was recognised from a very early age as the leading artist in Spain, rising to become the official portraitist of the Spanish Court. He was famed for the quality and speed at which he executed his drawings, and his etchings are of extraordinary delicacy. His use of chiaroscuro in his dark, intense paintings influenced many artists, including Manet. This monograph presents the essential works of this pioneering artist, today considered the father of modern art.

Edgar Degas and artworks
Edgar Degas and artworks
Jp Calosse, Jp. A. Calosse

Degas was a French artist famous for his work in painting, sculpture, printmaking, and drawing. His career was long and his style, unlike that of most famous artists who worked into their old age, never ceased developing. He is regarded as one of the founders of Impressionism and is especially identified with the subject of dance (over half of his works depict dancers such as The Dance Class or the sculpture Little Ballet Dancer). These display his mastery in the depiction of movement, as do his less common themes of horse racing and female nudes (After the Bath). His portraits …

Vincent Van Gogh
Victoria Charles

Leben und Werk von Van Gogh sind so eng miteinander verbunden, dass es praktisch unmöglich ist, das eine von dem anderen zu trennen. Dr. Gachet zum Beispiel ist nicht nur Titel und Modell eines seiner Porträts, sondern zugleich der Mann, der ihm zu gleichen Teilen Zerbrechlichkeit und Talent attestierte. Zeitlebens entwickelte er mit seiner Kreativität und Technik neue Konzepte für die Malerei des 19. Jahrhunderts. Als einer der bedeutendsten Post-Impressionisten gilt er zugleich als Vorläufer der Expressionisten, der Fauvisten und der modernen Kunst. Einerseits ein kreatives Genie, repräsentiert er andererseits jedoch auch einen durch Krankheit gequälten Maler. Die leuchtenden Farben …

Salvador Dalí
Salvador Dalí
Victoria Charles

As a one of the foremost painters of the 20th century, Dalí, like Picasso and Warhol, can boast of having overturned the art of the previous century and directed contemporary art toward its present incarnation. As irrational as he was surrealist, this genius diverted objects from their original meanings, plunging them into the acid of his constantly churning imagination. A megalomaniac and an artist who understood above all the force of marketing and publicity, Dalí disorientates the viewer in order to draw him into the artist’s world. On his canvases, images and colours crash together to express and mock certain …

Greek art
Greek art
Elie Faure, Klaus H. Carl

Greek art, at the very moment that it was breaking up in depth, was scattering over the whole material surface of Hellenic antiquity. After the movement of concentration that had brought to Athens all the forces of Hellenism, a movement of dispersal began, which was to carry from Athens to southern Italy, to Sicily, to Cyrenaica, Egypt, the Islands, and Asia Minor the passion and, unfortunately, the mania, for beautiful things—in default of creative genius. Dilettantism and the diffusion of taste multiply and at the same time weaken talent. It is the Hellenistic period, perhaps the richest in artists and …

Robert Delaunay
Robert Delaunay
Vicky Carl
The French painter Robert Delaunay (1885-1941) revolutionised the use of colour in art. Influenced by the French master Paul Cézanne (1839-1906), close friends with the French poet Apollinaire (1880-1918) and admired by the German painter Paul Klee (1879-1940), he founded the Orphism art movement together with his wife Sonia Delaunay (1885-1979) in the early 1910s. Geometric shapes and bright colours marked his way to a unique form of Abstractionism that earned him a place among the greatest artistic minds of the first half of the 20th century.

Vincent van Gogh por Vincent van Gogh - Vol 2
Victoria Charles

Esta paradoja, la tristeza y la salud del campo, refleja la propia situación de Van Gogh: la naturaleza fue siempre una especie de hogar para él: un hogar que nunca podría compartir con nadie más. En Saint-Rémy, Van Gogh había trabajado en una pintura llamada el «Sembrador»: «Porque lo que veo en este sembrador […] la imagen de la muerte, en el sentido de que la humanidad podría ser ese trigo que está cosechando. De modo que es, si así deseas, lo opuesto a aquel sembrador que intenté realizar antes. Pero no hay nada triste en esta muerte, hace lo …

Vincent Van Gogh - El pintor de girasoles
Vincent Van Gogh - El pintor de girasoles
Victoria Charles
La vida y obra de Van Gogh se hallan tan entrelazadas, que es casi imposible apreciar sus pinturas sin ver reflejada en ellas la historia de su vida: una vida de la que se habló tanto, que ya se ha convertido en leyenda. Van Gogh es la encarnación del sufrimiento, un mártir incomprendido del arte moderno, el emblema del artista como un extraño.

Harmensz van Rijn Rembrandt
Harmensz van Rijn Rembrandt
A.A.V.V.
A painting by Rembrandt is a living entity that exists according to its own laws, which reflects the multiplicity of the thoughts and emotions in the painter’s mind. Men and their mental condition: that is the fundamental issue the artist tries to solve throughout his life. Tormented by family problems, he took shelter in painting, which became even better as things got worse, as if depicted by a visionary. Hiding his anxiety in the optimism of his themes and in the strength of dark colours, he was ultimately victorious.

Anthony Van Dyck
Anthony Van Dyck
Natalia Gritsai

La carrera del pintor flamenco del siglo XVII, Van Dyck, fue tan corta como deslumbrante. Fue alumno de Rubens y se convirtió rápidamente en el pintor favorito de príncipes y reyes y fue el retratista de las familias inglesas e italianas de la nobleza. Con sus composiciones rigurosas, Van Dyck dotaba a sus modelos de dignidad, grandeza y espiritualidad. Damas orgullosas, señores retozando con sus caballos: Van Dyck sabía cómo representar la elegancia indiferente y el tedio de una sociedad refinada. Fue un pintor barroco con un estilo reluciente, jugaba con una paleta clara y matizada, y reproducía las prendas …
