Tracing his artistic career from its inception―including his links to Manet, Monet, Renoir, and Cézanne―this book unveils Bazille’s complete painted works and reveals the artist’s devotion to the principles of avant-garde art in the 1860s. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"rev\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis companion book to an exhibition at Musée D'Orsay in Paris and the National Gallery of Art in Washington is organized thematically and chronologically. His work is placed into the context of nineteenth-century art and history: from landscape paintings influenced by Monet, to his still lifes, portraits, and singular technique, and from his departure for war to his posthumous renown. Presented as in a catalogue raisonné, sixty-five of Bazille’s paintings are accompanied by a detailed technical caption and an explanatory notice. Facsimiles of the artist’s personal letters are interspersed throughout the book, providing intimate insight on his life. Bazille is a major artist who contributed to the advent of impressionism, and this monograph is completed with a comprehensive bibliography, a list of works, and two maps detailing his life in Montpellier and Paris.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eMichel Hilaire, Curator, Musée Fabre in Montpellier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eHardcover:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e 334 pages | 200 colour illustrations\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eDate published:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e October 2016\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e English\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e 978-2080202857\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eProduct Dimensions: \u003c\/b\u003e30\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e.5 x 22.5 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Musée D'Orsay\/National Gallery of Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":23829866630,"sku":"9782080202857","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0915\/8302\/products\/frederic-bazille-and-the-birth-of-impressionism-9782080202857-28790320726089.jpg?v=1644506151"},{"product_id":"claude-monet-the-truth-of-nature","title":"Claude Monet: The Truth of Nature","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"rev\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA beautiful book exploring\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e the celebrated French impressionist artist’s enduring relationship with nature and his response to the varied and distinct places in which he worked\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"rev\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCapturing fleeting natural impressions played a central role in the art of Claude Monet.

Featuring works by not only Cézanne, Degas, Monet, Morisot, Pissarro, Renoir, and Sisley, but also many other lesser-known participants and those who exhibited at the official Salon that year, this book explores how artists of the time responded to the shifting social and political currents during this singular moment in history, as well as the norms that these artists rebelled against in their new approach to art.

It explores the important role played by the contemporary press and also contextualizes the movement in relation to the devastation of the Franco-Prussian War and the Commune, as well as the subsequent process of reconstruction. Above all, it challenges established narratives surrounding the origins of impressionism itself by reexamining its position within the larger artistic landscape, particularly in relation to the Salon—which exhibited works strikingly similar to those included in société anonyme’s exhibition.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith an engaging design that uses motifs from archival materials to suggest the look of Parisian publications of the 1870s, this book is a handsome and compelling addition to our understanding of the dawn of impressionism and why it is considered a pivotal moment in the history of Western art.
