This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handsomely produced volume, featuring 128 full-page color illustrations, showcases a wide-ranging selection of the most outstanding works from Canada's largest art museum. Each of the pieces chosen for inclusion is introduced by a curatorial specialist, who sets it in its historical context and comments on its meaning and its place in the artist's oeuvre. Pride of place is given to the Gallery's unparalleled holdings in Canadian art, but European art--paintings, sculptures, prints, and drawings--is equally well represented. Masterworks from the Inuit art collection are also included, as well as examples from the Gallery's small but distinguished Asian collection. In recent decades, photographs have become an increasingly important part of the Gallery's collecting mandate, both through its own collection and that of its affiliate the Canadian Museum of Contemporary Photography, and this emphasis too is amply reflected here.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce catalogue, qui accompagne une grande exposition au Musée des Beaux-Arts du Canada, présente une vaste sélection d'oeuvres d'art français et danois du XIXe siècle et du début du XXe siècle conservées au prestigieux musée Ordrupgaard près de Copenhague. La collection Ordrupgaard, constituée essentiellement entre 1892 et 1931 par le magnat de l'assurance Wilhelm Hansen (18686-1936), offre un spectaculaire panorama de la peinture française, d'Eugène Delacroix à Paul Cézanne, ainsi que de magnifiques exemples de l'âge d'or danois. Entièrement illustré, cet ouvrage permet de découvrir les pièces phares de la collection à travers un essai de Paul Lang, directeur adjoint et conservateur en chef du Musée des Beaux-Arts du Canada. Il contient en outre de remarquables ensembles d'oeuvres qui reflètent différentes étapes de la carrière de peintres tels que Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, Gustave Courbet, Camille Pissaro, Claude Monter, Alfred Sisley, Paul Gauguin, C. W. Eckersberg et Vilhelm Hammershoi. Si la publication met à l'honneur les impressionnistes français et les peintres danois, d'autres mouvements artistiques français du XIXe siècle -souvent antagonistes- dont l'Ecole de Barbizon et le réalisme, y sont également bien représentés.
Download or read book Gauguin and the Impressionists written by and published by . This book was released on 2020-05-19 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A survey of impressionist masterpieces from the Ordrupgaard Collection Drawn from the remarkable Ordrupgaard Collection of the Danish insurance broker and art lover Wilhelm Hansen, the masterpieces of 19th-century French painting in this volume represent the very best of French impressionism. Joining an already impressive collection of Scandinavian art, one of the first French paintings Hansen acquired was Woman with a Fan, Portrait of Madame Marie Hubbard(1874) by Berthe Morisot. This gently ironic work set the tone for his perceptive and adventurous collecting style. A burst of acquisitions from 1916 to 1918, during which he took advice from the influential critic Théodore Duret, saw his collection grow to include works by Cézanne, Courbet, Gauguin, Manet, Matisse, Monet, Renoir and Sisley. With stunning reproductions of 60 works, the authors explore the history of the collection and provide detailed analysis of the works themselves.
