While best know for his landscapes, French painter Camille Corot nonetheless left in his wake a considerable number of rarely exhibited yet highly sought figure paintings. And while Corot initially used these oil studies to improve the quality of his free composition for later historical and narrative landscapes, it was not long before his figure paintings became autonomous works, prized for their direct portrayal of emotional and spiritual states. Standing out in Corot··s creative output is the remarkable oil painting A Girl Reading. This volume puts this impressive painting into context with a variety of Corot··s paintings and drawings that both shed light on the role of reading that is characteristic of his work and provide the first representative overview of the artist··s works inspired by the genre as a whole. Included are essays on Corot as a figure painter and thirty full-color, extensively annotated examples of his work. 尽管法国画家卡米尔·科罗特以其风景画闻名,但在他身后留下了相当数量的罕见但备受追捧的人物画。虽然科罗特*初利用这些油画研究来提高其后期历史和叙事风景的*创作质量,但不久之后,他的人物画就成为了自主作品,因其对情感和精神状态的直接描绘而备受赞誉。在科罗特的创作成果中脱颖而出的是一幅引人注目的油画《一个女孩在读书》。这本书将这幅令人印象深刻的画作与科罗特的各种绘画和绘画联系起来,这两种绘画和绘画都揭示了阅读的作用,这是他的作品的特点,并提供了艺术家作品的*个代表性概述,其灵感来源于整个流派。其中包括关于科罗特作为一名人物画家的文章,以及三十个全彩的、广泛注释的作品实例。 出版社:HirmerVerlag;第Annotated版(2012年3月15日) 出版日期:2012年3月15日 语言:英语 平装:182页 ISBN-10:3777438413 ISBN-13:978-3777438412 尺寸:22.86x1.78x27.94cm
