Honore-Victorin Daumier (1808-79) was loved and loathed for his biting satires of contemporary life and human malice. This is the catalogue for the first retrospective of his work since 1878 and pulls together works on similar subjects for the first time. Daumier was very much an artists' artist, collected by artists like Corot, Degas, and Gauguin and inspiration to artists like Picasso. Daumier's art gave voice to universal subjects and themes by depicting a France struggling with its unfolding history. It is a well-known irony that Daumier is collected widely among lawyers, practitioners of a profession that he scorned. This book is lavishly produced, with almost every of 369 plates in color.

Published on the occasion of a major retrospective, this gorgeous new survey focuses on the paintings related to the years Joaquín Sorolla spent in Paris. A native of Valencia, Spanish Impressionist Joaquín Sorolla (1863–1923) first went to Paris in 1885 as a young artist at the age of twenty-three. He exhibited at the international salons, winning the Grand Prix at the Exposition Universelle in 1900, and in 1906, he exhibited for the first time at the Galerie Georges Petit, one of the principal galleries of the Impressionists. The exhibition was a resounding success and helped establish Sorolla’s international reputation. Known for his vigorous compositions, unusual color palette, and loose, radiant brush strokes, Sorolla’s sun-drenched landscapes, beach scenes, and luminous portraits even impressed such contemporaries as Claude Monet. Richly illustrated and with newly researched essays by noted scholars, this important book reveals much new information about Sorolla’s activities and relationships with other artists in Europe. Included are more than one hundred paintings reflecting the artist’s career, from his early work in Paris in which the influence of the French Impressionists is clearly evident, to the distinctive pictures that reflect his mature and celebrated style.

Water lilies, reflecting ponds, a Japanese footbridge, and blankets of glorious flowers: Nothing evokes Claude Monet’s Impressionist paintings quite like images from his gardens at Giverny, about 50 miles northwest of Paris. Monet discovered a profound source of artistic renewal in these gardens, a motif that appears in hundreds of his works. In Claude Monet’s Gardens at Giverny, Dominique Lobstein’s dynamic text introduces us to the many personalities that have strolled through these gardens and the role this setting played in Monet’s life, while Jean-Pierre Gilson’s lush four-season photographs offer a tour through the literally thousands of flowers—daffodils, irises, poppies, tulips, and more— winding pathways, arching trellises, cherry trees heavily laden with blossoms, and, of course, the iconic water garden. This book brings to life critical moments in Monet’s biography, presenting a vivid glimpse into the beloved artist’s personal experiences and creative universe.

Book Description\nCatalogue publié à l'occasion de l'exposition "Manet inventeur du Moderne" présentée au musée d'Orsay, à Paris, du 5 avril au 3 juillet 2011.\nFrom the Back Cover\nUnique évidemment, érotique et politique, très autobiographique, ironique souvent, et tourné en permanence vers l'espace public, l'art de Manet fut ludique aussi. Mettre en jeu, se mettre en danger, ramasser la mise si possible, les trois choses étaient vitales à ce grand ambitieux. L'ancien marin naviguait à vue et toujours en pleine mer. Nul repli, nulle chapelle, nulle dérobade. Manet eut moins peur de ses doutes que de l'échec et de la routine. S'enfermer dans une formule ou une spécialité eût été le pire des renoncements. Révolutionnaire sans doute, peintre d'histoire à sa façon, il fut surtout un peintre de salon, prêt à en découdre avec le jury et le public pour imposer le Moderne dans le grand art.

'A lover of light': in 1912, a French critic used these words to describe the great Danish painter Peder Severin Krøyer, who had close ties to the French art scene for more than two decades. Krøyer first visited Paris in 1877, and his many letters clearly show the impact French art had on Krøyer's own development as a painter, on the artists' colony in Skagen, and on Danish art history in general. In Krøyer and Paris. French Connections and Nordic Colours, art historians Mette Harbo Lehmann and Dominique Lobstein describe Krøyer's artistic development from the Golden Age tradition favoured by the Danish academy to Naturalism and the Modern Breakthrough. They show how inspiration from France can be traced in his painting technique and his open-air paintings from Skagen, revealing how French Naturalism made its mark on Krøyer's distinctive style.
