Description

Gustave Courbet His Life And Art by Jack Lindsay. 'The origins of art are complex, but Courbet represents the essential point of break with academicism, romanticism and classicism, which made possible the path followed by Cezanne and the Impressionists. The term"realism" was devised to describe his work, but what may be called his powerful sense of the direct object, in nature or mankind, was not in the least naturalistic in the sense now given to that term. The author brings out the underlying unity of Courbet's life, work and thought, and in the process provides a vivid picture of French art and society in the revolutionary years of the mid-nineteenth century. The dust jacket has light general wear with some small tape repairs but the price is unclipped. The book remains tight and very tidy. A VERY LARGE BOOK THAT WILL REQUIRE ADDITIONAL FREIGHT.
