Camille Claudel and Rodin - focuses on the relationship between two headstrong artists who worked in close collaboration for a while then parted, leading to misfortune for both of them, but for Camille in particular. (from inside dust cover) Introduction- This catalogue and the accompanying exhibition follow the mingling paths of two sculptors, Auguste Rodin and Camille Claudel, focusing on the works that bear witness to their artistic and personal relations. It is therefore a genuine comparative exhibition of the work of both artists, comprising sixty-one works by Rodin and seventy-three works by Camille Claudel...spanning...from the early 1880s until the late 1890s.

The latter years of Matisse’s career made up what he described as his "second life". This catalogue is dedicated to Matisse’s late work and provides a greater understanding of the artist through his correspondence with the writer André Rouveyre. It begins with a serious operation Matisse underwent in 1941 and ends with his death in 1954, a period of 13 years during which there was an extraordinary blossoming of his art. Rouveyre was a novelist and artist dreaded for his cruel portraits, and an old friend from Matisse’s student days. These letters (almost 1200 of them) provide unprecedented insight into Matisse’s creative process and artistic aspirations, at a time when he was redefining his modes of expression. Many are adorned with drawings and decorations and for the first time this catalogue relates these letters to works produced, or in production, at the time they were written: oils on canvas, drawings, illustrated books, tapestries, stained-glass window maquettes, and large and small gouache cut-outs.

Individual Artists

- La seule monographie exhaustive sur l'artiste par le meilleur sp cialiste de Friedrich. L'ouvrage qui fait autorit . Werner Hofmann est une des grandes figures de l'histoire de l'art allemand. Friedrich est le peintre allemand romantique le plus connu de part et d'autre du Rhin. Depuis les ann es 70, la r putation et la stature de Friedrich n'ont cess de s'amplifier. Son oeuvre et sa personnalit se sont enrichies de plusieurs contours superpos s donnant lieu des interpr tations, quelquefois m me oppos es. D'o la n cessit de consacrer l'artiste un nouvel essai monographique faisant le point sur ces r centes approches, monographie qu fait autorit depuis sa publication en trois langues en 2000. Pour Werner Hofmann la contribution essentielle de Friedrich est l'invention du paysage-ic ne. C'est chez lui une des cons quences de la crise de la peinture religieuse et en m me temps une solution profond ment protestante. Tout en observant fid lement le monde empirique, il lui donne une aura solennelle et religieuse. Ceci est d l'agencement de l'espace. Sa discontinuit accentue la tension entre la proximit et le lointain, donc entre l'ici-bas et l'au-del . Friedrich a d couvert la trag die du paysage comme l'a remarqu David d'Angers lorsqu'il visita le peintre dans son atelier Dresde en 1834. La spiritualit troublante de cette d couverte porte souvent les marques de l'ali nation -- marques qu'un Max Ernst s t go ter et communiquer ses amis surr alistes. Werner Hofmann tache d' lucider aussi d'autres aspects moins frappants: l'intimisme de ses aquarelles et dessins qui respire souvent le bonheur d' tre; les rapports entre homme et femme; la femme comme un tre autonome dans la soci t . L'auteur situe surtout le peintre dans le contexte intellectuel et historique de son poque: ses contacts difficiles avec Goethe, ses affinit s avec la philosophie de Schleiermacher; son oeuvre jug par Kleist, Brentano et Arnim, enfin son double patriotique dirig d'abord contre Napol on, ensuite contre Metternich, enfin la r ception de son oeuvre en Russie. Les r flexions esth tiques les plus importantes de Friedrich sont analys es en d tail et traduites en annexe.
