Download or read book Traces of Vermeer written by Jane Jelley and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-07-21 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Johannes Vermeer's luminous paintings are loved and admired around the world, yet we do not understand how they were made. We see sunlit spaces; the glimmer of satin, silver, and linen; we see the softness of a hand on a lute string or letter. We recognise the distilled impression of a moment of time; and we feel it to be real. We might hope for some answers from the experts, but they are confounded too. Even with the modern technology available, they do not know why there is an absence of any preliminary drawing; why there are shifts in focus; and why his pictures are unusually blurred. Some wonder if he might possibly have used a camera obscura to capture what he saw before him. The few traces Vermeer has left behind tell us little: there are no letters or diaries; and no reports of him at work. Jane Jelley has taken a new path in this detective story. A painter herself, she has worked with the materials of his time: the cochineal insect and lapis lazuli; the sheep bones, soot, earth and rust. She shows us how painters made their pictures layer by layer; she investigates old secrets; and hears travellers' tales. She explores how Vermeer could have used a lens in the creation of his masterpieces. The clues were there all along. After all this time, now we can unlock the studio door, and catch a glimpse of Vermeer inside, painting light.

Download or read book Immortal Thoughts Late Style in a Time of Plague written by Christopher Neve and published by Thames & Hudson. This book was released on 2023-05-16 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A remarkable, heartfelt, beautifully written analysis of the late work of major artists which author Max Porter has called “completely and utterly marvelous.” In 2020, as the spread of COVID-19 caused pandemonium worldwide,a painter and writer returned to a childhood home to reflect upon the transcendence of nature and the work of the artists he most admires. It seems to Christopher Neve that in their final works—their late style—that they have something remarkable in common. This has more to do with intuition and memory than with rationality or reason. Immortal Thoughts: Late Style in a Time of Plague is an anthology of these reflections. In this personal and moving account, nineteen short essays on artists are interspersed with recollections of the cataclysmic global progress of the disease in poignant contrast to the beauty of the seasons in Neve’s isolated house and garden. From Paul Cézanne and Michelangelo to Rembrandt and Gwen John, Neve dwells on artists’ late ideas, memories, risks, and places in the context of time and mortality. As much art history as a discussion of great art in the context of the “dance of death,” Neve also writes about Pierre Bonnard, Giorgio Morandi, Nicolas Poussin, Chaim Soutine, and many others. Immortal Thoughts is a summary of a lifetime’s contemplation of art.

Download or read book Frans Hals Classic Reprint written by Gerald S. Davies and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-21 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Frans Hals N 0 one can be more conscious than the author of the many shortcomings of this work. No one can be more disappointed than he that he has failed to find new and hoped-for light upon one or two problems of the painter's life, which remain yet for abler hands to exercise their industry upon. Here again he can but crave the sympathy of the reader. One word yet of personal apology. The author strove for some time to avoid the perpetual immodest appearance of the first person singular. It is said that the compositors who set up the type for Cellim s memoirs find that they are called upon to supply the letter I in wholly disproportionate quantity. Lest the printer should discover the like propensity in this volume, the author at first endeavoured to suppress the assertive capital as far as possible. But the endeavour had soon to be abandoned, and, to say nothing of the clumsiness of the other method, the reader will perhaps agree that it is after all more fair to him, and more just to the subject, that what are merely the author's personal views should not be put forth as if they were matters of general acceptance.
