A celebration of the work and lives of women artists who shaped the art world of 19th-century Paris In the second half of the 19th century, Paris attracted an international gathering of women artists, drawn to the French capital by its academies and museums, studios and salons. Featuring thirty-six artists from eleven different countries, this beautifully illustrated book explores the strength of these women’s creative achievements, through paintings by acclaimed Impressionists such as Mary Cassatt and Berthe Morisot, and extraordinary lesser-known artists such as Marie Bashkirtseff, Anna Bilińska-Bohdanowicz, Paula Modersohn-Becker, and Hanna Pauli. It examines their work against the sociopolitical background of the period, when women were mostly barred from formal artistic education but cleverly navigated the city’s network of ateliers, salons, and galleries. Essays consider the powerfully influential work of women Impressionists, representations of the female artist in portraiture, the unique experiences of Nordic women artists, and the significant presence of women artists throughout the history of the Paris Salon. By addressing the long-undervalued contributions of women to the art of the later 19th century, Women Artists in Paris pays tribute to pioneers who not only created remarkable paintings but also generated momentum toward a more egalitarian art world.

The Monet exhibition taking place in fall 2010 at the Grand Palais in Paris has caused an international sensation. In a rapturous review on the front page of The New York Times, Michael Kimmelman says that it gives us a sublime painter whose achievement places him in the company of artists who reveal the world with new vision. This catalogue offers a permanent record of this magnificent art exhibition. Claude Monet is one of the most beloved painters in the history of art. His work appeals both to the broad general public and to artists, who are moved and challenged by his achievement over a working life that spanned six decades. With more than 300 illustrations of Monet€™s greatest works and accessible essays by leading art historians, this lush volume offers a vivid new perspective on the artist and his work.

James Ensor's painting of 1887, "The Temptation of St. Anthony," now in The Museum of Modern Art's collection, established the artist as one of the boldest painters of all his contemporaries. Ensor (1860-1949) was a major figure in the Belgian avant-garde of the late nineteenth century and an important precursor to the development of Expressionism in the early twentieth, yet his work is underappreciated in the United States, and far too little seen. This striking volume, published on the occasion of Ensor's major 2009 exhibition in New York, gives the artist the attention he so greatly deserves. It presents approximately 90 works, organized thematically, examining Ensor's Modernity, his innovative and allegorical approach to light, his prominent use of satire, his deep interest in carnival and performance and, finally, his own self-fashioning and use of masking, travesty and role-playing. Works in the full range of his media--painting, printing and drawing--are presented in an overlapping network of themes and images to produce a complete picture of this daring body of art. The most comprehensive volume on the artist available in English, this remarkable, scholarly volume reveals Ensor as a socially engaged and self-critical artist involved with the issues of his times and contemporary debates on the very nature of Modernism.

The Musee de l'Orangerie houses a set of remarkable paintings from the late 19th and early 20th centuries that is unique in France: 146 paintings in the Walter-Guillaume Collection accompany 8 panels in Claude Monet's "Water Lilies" cycle.\nThe Walter-Guillaume Collection reflects the modernist taste of Paul Guillaume, an art dealer with a passion for African and avant-garde art. Close to Apollinaire, he was the assistant in France of Dr. Albert Barnes, and would become a collector himself. Along with works of artists he defended (Modigliani, Alert Derain) or helped discover (Soutine, Le Douanier Rousseau, Marie Laurencin, Utrillo), Guillaume purchased works by major figures of modern art (Cezanne, Renoir, Matisse, Picasso).\nInstalled in the Orangerie in 1927, just after his death, Claude Monet's "Water Lilies"are the final and extraordinary touch of this great painter's oeuvre. This exceptional series is presented in two oval rooms, with natural lighting from above, in accordance with the will of the artist, who donated his grand decorative cycle to France to celebrate the Armistice, which marked the end of World War One.\nFeaturing 100 magnificent color reproductions, this book tells the fascinating history of the Walter-Guillaume Collection and presents its major works, before relating the genesis of Monet's "Water Lilies" cycle.
