Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *Records of some 20,000 pastels in public collections or known from exhibition and auction catalogues, including pastels by anonymous artists*Entries on 1250 named artists*5000 reproductions (2000 in color), many never before published, and references to all known reproductions of other pastels*A survey placing the major artists of the various schools in an historical context and explaining the technical features of the pastel*A list of exhibitions from 1704 to 2005, including livrets and contemporary criticism for the major exhibitions in Paris, London and elsewhere before 1800*A topographical index locating pastels in public collections worldwide*An index of some 7000 sittersPastels are lluminous and beautiful beyond all other pictures, wrote the English eighteenth century pastelist Francis Cotes, describingthe sensual appeal of this special dust rubbed into paper which has enchanted connoisseurs ever since. But the history of pastels is one of compounded mistakes and misattributions: these intimate portraits, whose subjects range from dynasts to servants, have been neglected for the better researched areas of old master drawings and oil painting. This Dictionary sets out to establish, for the first time, a convincing body of knowledge to help identify and attribute works by both major artists and the obscure "petits-maStres." It is an essential academic resource for art historians, a vital tool for collectors and dealers, and a treasure-trove for anyone interested in costume or social and political history. Pastels from the French school account for more than half the Dictionary, representing most of the more important artists such as Vivien, Nattier, La Tour, Perronneau, Labille-Guiard and VigHe Le Brun. But there were other major pastelists, such as Copley, Russell, Mengs, Carriera and Liotard fro

Book excerpt: Spanning the period from romanticism to neo-impressionism, this book reveals the extraordinary richness, diversity, and inventiveness that fueled a remarkably creative period of French drawing--called "the paper century" in the opening essay. Brilliant drawings, watercolors, and pastels by Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, Paul Cezanne, Paul Gauguin, and Georges Seurat as well as by many of their peers allow for a close inspection of such key nineteenth-century artistic movements as romanticism, realism, impressionism, the art of the Nabis and symbolists, and neo-impressionism.
