Book Description
Animals were a primary source of inspiration and creative stimulation for the Nabi painter Pierre Bonnard (1867-1947): the theme can be found in about a third of the 2,300 paintings created by the artist over the course of his lengthy career. Ubu, Ravageau, Black and Almond were the names of a few of the canine companions that appear in his work; his cats, though never thus identified by name, also frequently populate his canvases. The appearance of other animals, such as horses, fish, chickens and cows, further testify to Bonnard's fundamental affection for the creature world; but their presence in his paintings has never before been directly addressed. This fully illustrated book examines this secret theme running throughout Bonnard's oeuvre, and will prove a delightful revelation for fans of the intimiste master.

Bonnard

ISBN: 9788836645824
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This project aims ? with the aid of a wide selection of Bonnard?s masterpieces ? to reveal the artist?s unique approach and his deep connection with his surroundings. The Musée Bonnard decided to present its collection through the lens of the Mediterranean and especially of Le Cannet, where the painter set up home in the early 1920s. Bonnard was bowled over by the region?s light, which tried his heightened sense of observation and his sensitivity to their limits. This exhibition, which has been deliberately organised by date and theme, is enhanced by more than twenty additional loans from private collections, stretching from Bonnard?s first posters to the final flowering of his Le Cannet paintings.0This book is based on the catalogue published for the 150th anniversary of Bonnard?s birth, and expanded to include the new works on show. The carefully documented texts and notes were drafted by Véronique Serrano, Head Curator of the Musée Bonnard. 00Exhibition: Musée Bonnard, Le Cannet, France (04.07.-01.11.2020).

EPZ Thousand Plateaus
Author: Gilles Deleuze
Publisher: A&C Black
ISBN: 9780826476944
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 716
Book Description
‘A rare and remarkable book.' Times Literary Supplement Gilles Deleuze (1925-1995) was Professor of Philosophy at the University of Paris VIII. He is a key figure in poststructuralism, and one of the most influential philosophers of the twentieth century. Félix Guattari (1930-1992) was a psychoanalyst at the la Borde Clinic, as well as being a major social theorist and radical activist. A Thousand Plateaus is part of Deleuze and Guattari's landmark philosophical project, Capitalism and Schizophrenia - a project that still sets the terms of contemporary philosophical debate. A Thousand Plateaus provides a compelling analysis of social phenomena and offers fresh alternatives for thinking about philosophy and culture. Its radical perspective provides a toolbox for ‘nomadic thought' and has had a galvanizing influence on today's anti-capitalist movement. Translated by Brian Massumi>

Kafka
Author: Gilles Deleuze
Publisher: U of Minnesota Press
ISBN: 9780816615155
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 140
Book Description
In Kafka Deleuze and Guattari free their subject from his (mis)intrepreters. In contrast to traditional readings that see in Kafka's work a case of Oedipalized neurosis or a flight into transcendence, guilt, and subjectivity, Deleuze and Guattari make a case for Kafka as a man of joy, a promoter of radical politics who resisted at every turn submission to frozen hierarchies.

Nature Stories
Author: Jules Renard
Publisher: New York Review of Books
ISBN: 1590175689
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
The natural world in all its richness, glimpsed variously in the house, the barnyard, and the garden, in ponds and streams, and at large in the woods and the fields, including old friends like the dog, the cat, the cow, and the pig, along with more unusual and sometimes alarming characters such as the weasel, the dragonfly, snakes of several sorts, and even a whale, not to mention ants in their seeming infinitude and a single humble potato—all these and more are the subjects of what may well be the most deft and delightful book of literary miniatures ever written. In Jules Renard’s world, plants and animals not only feel but speak (one species, the swallow, appears to write Hebrew), and yet, for all the anthropomorphic wit and whimsy the author indulges in, they guard their mystery too. Sly, funny, and touching, Nature Stories, here beautifully rendered into English by Douglas Parmée and accompanied by the wonderful ink-brush images of Pierre Bonnard with which the book was originally published, is a literary classic of inexhaustible freshness.
