Produktbeschreibungen
From Kirkus Reviews
Pierre Puvis de Chavannes (182498) was for a long time the most celebrated painter of 19th-century France. His work was everywhere, commissioned as he was to add visual life to the Pantheon, the Sorbonne, and quite a bit of the rest of Paris as well. Time, however, turned Puvis into somewhat of a Salieri--later generations dismissed him for a lack of originality and for being, essentially, a court painter whose large allegorical murals catered to the pretensions of a rising middle-class and its attendant vulgarity. But in the spirit of everything old being new again, Puvis is garnering a second glance, most notably in an exhibition, curated by Price, at the Rijksmuseum Vincent Van Gogh in Amsterdam, to which this volume is a companion. (200 illustrations, 98 in color) -- Copyright ©1994, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.
From Library Journal
Revered during his lifetime, the French mural painter Puvis de Chavannes (1824-98) has been neglected since his death. His monumental murals and paintings are distinguished for their "classicizing imagery"-pale-toned, allegorical personages from ancient times set in bucolic, flattened landscapes. Published in conjunction with a recent retrospective exhibition at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, this monograph features over 140 of Puvis's paintings and drawings. Exquisite figure paintings, dramatic biblical compositions, and witty caricatures should spark new interest in this complex artist. Price, an authority on Puvis and organizer of the exhibition, accompanies each illustration with detailed text, provenance, and citations. Essays contributed by two noted art historians and a chronology complete the volume. Highly recommended for all art history collections.

Only for serious scholars, disappointing as an art book
5. Januar 2011
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I knew within 10 minutes of opening this set, that hoping for an incredible coffee table sized art book for Chavannes was a mistake. For the cost, I imagined there would be plenty of full color images. As I flipped through in growing annoyance, I saw that 80% of the pictures are in black and white. Out of over 700 pages across 2 volumes, the vast majority is text and black and white images. I figured in the year 2010 the black and white art book was a thing of the past.
It is 2 volume set, beautifully packaged in a glossy box. But the first volume is supposed to be an overview of the artist, and of its nearly 300 pages, 130 are the appendix and notes. 90% is just text and a few color images. Not much. The 2nd volume is the catalog raisonne of most of his works and this was mostly black and white with page after page of text. I can go on fliker dot com and see people's vacation pics from Europe to see what is included in these 2 books. The few color images are photos of various walls/ apses that have Chavannes' paintings on them. I am very disappointed. Apparently only a serious scholar would want or need an art book that has very little art in color and is mostly scholarly research.

Don't miss this wonderful book!
15. Dezember 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This is undoubtedly the definitive book about this great and not yet fully appreciated artist. Art historian Aimee Brown Price has devoted much of her stellar career to this, her favorite painter and his works. This book is the culmination of her years of study of and devotion to his genius and is not to be missed!
