Описание: The City of Glasgow possesses an internationally-renowned collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings. This volume, the catalogue for a major exhibition, features 64 of the finest paintings in this collection, including important works by Rousseau, Corot, Monet, Renoir, Cezanne, Gauguin, Van Gogh, Picasso, Derain, Matisse and Rouault. The volume provides a short essay on each work as well as full catalogue details.

There are also four introductory essays by prominent scholars that set the paintings in context. Irene Maver examines the social, political and economic environment of Glasgow from its beginnings until World War I; Frances Fowle charts the taste for French art in the west of Scotland during the late-19th and early-20th century; Hugh Stevenson explores the early history of the city's collection and its assimilation of contemporary French paintings; and Belinda Thomson discusses how Glasgow's collection relates to the wider historical context of French painting of the period.

Описание: Honore Daumier (1808-1879) is perhaps best known for his political and social caricatures, precise and witty observations of life in nineteenth-century France. This authoritative new study provides a long-overdue assessment of his entire oeuvre, bringing together his paintings, sculptures, watercolours, drawings and lithographs, all of which were greatly admired in his lifetime. Later feted by Van Gogh and Picasso, Daumiers art continues to be appreciated by such contemporary artists as Paula Rego and Peter Doig. Lavishly illustrated with works from throughout Daumiers career, including the satirical lithographs that made his name, the book focuses on the innovative paintings and drawings that formed his more private output. These lesser-known works reveal the artists ambitious range of subject-matter, from Cervantess Don Quixote to the complete spectrum of Parisian street society, and confirm Daumiers unique place in nineteenth-century French art.
