Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Antoine Watteau (1684-1721) This brief study does not pretend to analyse the deepest secrets of Antoine Watteau's art, soul, and genius. My strict duty as a biographer obliges me to omit none of the chief circum stances of the artist's life - none, at any rate, which help to throw any light on his work, or to define its meaning and conditions. The Object and the format of this series compel me to restrict myself to generalities. It is, more over, impossible to display any brilliant erudi tion in relating the story of so well-known an existence, which has been told in many previous books with abundant documentary evidence, and especially in the Memoir of the Comte de Caylus, a work which leaves no room for further research. I have therefore confined myself to summarising the most significant features of Watteau's life° but this, together with the analysis of his works and technique, takes up the greater part of my book.

Download or read book French Art of the Eighteenth Century Classic Reprint written by Burlington Fine Arts Club and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-07 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from French Art of the Eighteenth Century There are indeed marked exceptions to the rule thus tentatively laid down, and, most marked of all, that of Antoine Watteau himself. The painter of Fe'tes Galemies, the incomparable master, who though he never attempted themes of serious import (save only those sacred subjects which, with him, were Of the usual frivolous eighteenth-century type), touched with his own wistful melancholy, with the beauty of his own solitary, yearning soul, the scenes of frivolous gaiety, of artificial comedy, Which, with the changeful palette of the enchanter, he evoked. He was the Giorgione of the eighteenth century, but a Giorgione the true poetry of whose art was not fully appreciated by the connoisseurs or the society of his own day. To his contemporaries he was just the initiator and the most brilliant exponent of the Fete Galam'e school, a painter of exquisite skill, but not to be included in the highest category. The most complete manifestations of his art must still be sought for in the Louvre, In the Prussian palaces, and in the Wallace Collection. Unavailing efforts were made to obtain for the recent exhibition either the Fe'te Cfiampe'tre, in the National Gallery of Scotland,1 or the still more famous Plaz'sz'rs a'u Ba! Of the Dulwich Gallery; or again, that masterpiece of a higher order, l'amour Paz'sz'ble, which is in one of the palaces at Potsdam. As it was, there were shown three little pieces not without their own peculiar significance in the oeuvre of the Valenciennes master; and with them a sheet Of studies of a Negro's head which illustrates his art at its highest point. There is deep pathos of a wholly different kind in the technically superb art of Chardin - so moving in its na'i've simplicity, its unquestion - About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Antoine s Alphabet written by Jed Perl and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2009-09-15 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Antoine Watteau, one of the most mysterious painters who ever lived, is the inspiration for this delightful investigation of the tangled relationship between art and life. Weaving together historical fact and personal reflections, the influential art critic Jed Perl reconstructs the amazing story of this pioneering bohemian artist who, although he died in 1721, when he was only thirty-six, has influenced innumerable painters and writers in the centuries since—and whose work continues to deepen our understanding of the place that love, friendship, and pleasure have in our daily lives. Perl creates an astonishing experience by gathering his reflections on this “master of silken surfaces and elusive emotions” in the form of an alphabet—a fairy tale for adults—giving us a new way to think about art. This brilliant collage of a book is a hunt for the treasure of Watteau’s life and vision that encompasses the glamour and intrigue of eighteenth-century Paris, the riotous history of Harlequin and Pierrot, and the work of such modern giants as Cézanne, Picasso, and Samuel Beckett. By turns somber and beguiling, analytical and impressionistic, Antoine’s Alphabet reaffirms the contemporary relevance of the greatest of all painters of young love and imperishable dreams. It is a book to savor, to share, to return to again and again.
