Key Art Works : The Musee d'Orsay - Paperback (Color) Illustrated Art Book

Only 1 left in stock

‟This is a well written book that deals with 12 of the well known artist at this museum. Interesting opinions, not fully expounded on, only 1 or 2 works of each artist, mostly dealt with paintings and the history of the evolution of art (again, mostly painting) during this particular time period, about 1850 to 1920. Great time line in the back that covers political, artistic and social events.”—Joan L. Peirce

‟Vanina Costa's book on the Musee D'Orsay is the kind of book that makes you interested in something that you were only vaguely acquainted with before you read it. 12 paintings by twelve 19th century painters featured at the Musee D'Orsay are analyzed for their style and content, with a sort of expert detail that you would not expect to see in a guidebook to a museum. The one regret I have is that Renoir was not included in this survey, but we get to learn about Seurat, Courbet and Vuillard as well as Monet, Manet, Van Gogh , Degas, Cezanne and Gaughin. A really good read that should be made widely available to patrons of art museums across North America, Europe and Japan and elsewhere in Asia.”—Michael Gutierrez-May (Mikegtz@aol.com)
