Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from French Pictures and Their Painters Never has France been dearer to us than she is today. And never have we longed more deeply to know more about her people. Our boys and her boys lie side by side over there. The underlying cause that brought them together was the same, and very quickly they recognized in each other the spirit that was theirs in common. This spirit rose above the trench and the battle front and gave them, sometimes in pathos and sometimes in fun, pictures that appealed to each alike. And after all what goes deeper into our hearts than the pictures of a nation? Fortunately genius in any line of art is not circumscribed by a particular language, for it speaks a tongue of its own understandable to like geniuses among all people.

Download or read book tudes in Modern French Art Classic Reprint written by Earl Shinn and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-15 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Études in Modern French Art Go see the drawings by Raphael in the Louvre; see how he attaches his figure together at the knees and shoulders and hips; how careful he is to insist on this continuity of the form; how every bone hangs by a string to some other bone; and how careful he is to express this dragging and weight of the form. I have never seen a drawing by Gerome which did not insist on the same quality of nature. He may violently bend the joint of a figure, but what he insists on is the flow of it, not the break of it. This continuity is one of the great traits of a figure by Gerome; another is, that when the conditions of the picture do not give a chance to tell all the facts about a figure, and when some have to be expressed and others omitted, he expresses the facts of the mechanism of the human frame, so that the figure, however slight, is a viable machine. He has sometimes shown a peculiar reticence in stating the facts about a figure, reducing it to its necessary parts; these slighted or subordinate figures remind me strangely of Egyptian images, and have something of the same dignity; an Egyptian figure always seems to say that the artist was capable of expressing more if he chose, but preferred to hold his tongue; the facts of anatomy seem to be all there, only enclosed in a sort of envelope; and the figure is sure to be not a bundle of limbs, but an unity, depending upon itself from head to foot. This summary treatment, perhaps inspired by his love for Egyptian art, is successfully practiced alone by Gerome among modern painters.

This book was released on 2019-01-31 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Contemporary French Painters an Essay Since the publication of A Painter's Camp, the author's labors, as a writer on art, have been confined to occasional articles in various periodicals, and the art-criticism in the Saturday Review. Projects of a more important kind have been entertained in this interval; but, with one exception, have always been abandoned for the same reason, - the difficulty of writing anything of use without illustrations so nu merous and costly as to alarm the prudence even of liberal publishers. The present Essay, in which there is little detailed description of works that the reader has not seen, and which is accompanied by illustra tions sufficiently abundant to give a good idea of some of the principal artists mentioned, is a realiza tion of the author's wishes, so far as is compatible with the smallness of its scale and the imperfections of his knowledge. It appears to be more and more evident that criticisms of pictures which the reader has not seen are of no use, and that it is a waste of time to write them. This discouraging fact has not.

Durand-Ruel of Paris: Exhibition Day and Evening, Beginning Monday, May 2d; To Be Sold at Auction Thursday and Friday Evenings, May 5th and 6th, 1887 Today the works of these painters have reached fabulous prices, and amateurs buy for more than their weight in gold, pictures they would hardly deign to look at a few years ago. The supply has failed in the market; all the fine canvases of Corot, Millet, Rousseau, and the rest, are in the galleries of well-known amateurs, and their owners refuse to part with them. To meet the\ demand for the work of these artists, search has been made, far and wide, for every vestige of their handiwork, and all that has been found has been seized upon withavidity - studies, sketches, pictures which their painters had themselves rejected - all are gathered up by the art dealers, and eagerly bought by the public.

Download or read book Gems of French Art written by William B. Scott and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gems of French Art: A Series of Carbon-Photographs From the Pictures of Eminent Modern Artists, With Remarks on the Works Selected, and an Essay on the French School This variety of character spreading out from a single studio may be taken as the visible expression of that variety in subject, treatment, and motive, which the French critics arrogate to themselves as belonging peculiarly to the national art. English art, they say, is always the same; the clever handling, the bright colours, the indispensable pretty girl's face, and the lz'lz'le clog, must be in every picture, whether of genre or history, whether tragic, comic, or conversational! The little dog I cannot always find, but the pretty girl's face and the bright colours, I fear, we must admit as almost universal on the walls of our exhibition rooms, and in the works of the painters who get most success with us. But on the other side of the water it is certainly not so. There are in Paris indeed many painters Whose lives are devoted to the production of pretty faces, but they are not less distinct than other classes of artists, perhaps a good deal more so: they have their circle, which is not the best. The charm of mere execution also standing in the place of insight and quiet mastery is not wanting, is indeed carried to monstrous excess on the canvas of such men as Courbet, the landscape painter, but these are at once distinguishable, while with us every landscape must be painted with a certain freedom of brush and no more, while the green and the grey pictures, so fresh and true to these latitudes, and so distinctive of French taste in landscapes, are nowhere to be seen. The bright colours we must have and the clever execution, and a spring landscape must keep its place, as they say, beside the figure picture, its neighbour, in which a red shawl and a yellow gown are the leading features.
