Download or read book Corot written by Elbert Hubbard and published by Hol Art Books. This book was released on 2011-04 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A charming picture of a famous artist. This short biographical sketch on nineteenth-century French landscape painter Camille Corot was written by Elbert Hubbard as part of his endearing series, Little Journeys to the Homes of Eminent Artists (1902). And a wonderful 'little journey' it is. Only a few brief pages, but brimming with entertaining anecdote, thoughtful contemplation and rewarding insight. Perhaps most notable is the inclusion of a passionate, personality-filled letter Corot wrote to his friend Graham. An excerpt: "And if it should, I would be sorry, for nothing ever did stand still, except a bad picture. A good picture is full of motion. Clouds that stand still are not clouds--motion, activity, life, yes, life is what we want--life! Bam! A peasant comes out of the cottage and is coming to the meadow. Ding, ding, ding! There comes a flock of sheep led by a bell wether. Wait there a minute, please, sheepy-sheepy, and a great man will paint you. All right then, don't wait. I didn't want to paint you anyway." -- A perfect introduction to those new to the artist and his work, and a pleasant diversion for those already more familiar, this expanded, classic edition has been newly set, carefully edited, and fully optimized for e-book reading. Along with the main text, it includes select images of Corot's paintings from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
Download or read book Corot and His Friends Classic Reprint written by Everard Meynell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Corot and His Friends And the facts entangle Louis Jacques in} the ravished locks of Paris. His father, Claude Corot, had come thither from mussy-la-fosse to make his career as a hairdresser. That he, our painter's grandfather, was a hairdresser in the rue de grands-degrés, not the most squeamish biographer has cared to deny. Further, on his death, his widow married Monsieur Pierre Amene, hairdresser of the rue de Grenelle, so that not only were Louis Jacques' earliest hours measured by the ticking of his father's scissors, but his youth was spent in the establishment of his step-father. Could any one be further immeshed? On his step-father's death, he inherited the shop in the rue de Grenelle, and in 1793 went to his weddlng from its portals. In the certificate of birth of his first child, Camille's sister, he IS Corot, pew/259m. Perhaps it is because he came to live through a period when épz'cier was the type of a slighting name to call a man] by, that his profession is so obscurely noted in the many lives of his son. But now that we have grocers who are courtiers, the equals of a dean and something better than an author, we may be allowed to be quite frank as to Louis Jacques' condition.

Download or read book C zanne and the End of Impressionism written by Richard Shiff and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2014-12-15 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on a broad foundation in the history of nineteenth-century French art, Richard Shiff offers an innovative interpretation of Cézanne's painting. He shows how Cézanne's style met the emerging criteria of a "technique of originality" and how it satisfied critics sympathetic to symbolism as well as to impressionism. Expanding his study of the interaction of Cézanne and his critics, Shiff considers the problem of modern art in general. He locates the core of modernism in a dialectic of making (technique) and finding (originality). Ultimately, Shiff provides not only clarifying accounts of impressionism and symbolism but of a modern classicism as well.
