Book Description
Né en 1950, Jacques Bailly a consacré trente années d'activité professionnelle à une passion, celle des oeuvres qui ont marqué l'histoire picturale du XXe siècle. Dès 1972, il ouvre sa première galerie à Paris avec une exposition d'André Masson qu'il organise grâce au soutien de Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler. Depuis lors, son intérêt pour les figures essentielles de la peinture moderne ne s'est plus démenti. Les peintres du début du siècle comme ceux des années 50 comptent parmi les créateurs qu'il aime et veut faire apprécier du public. Jacques Bailly développe une vision picturale élargie et éclectique qui le conduit, dans son rôle de directeur de galerie, à refuser de se cantonner dans des choix d'œuvres convenus et répétitifs. Cette passion de la modernité originale et fondatrice l'amène à nouveau, aujourd'hui, à sortir des sentiers trop souvent parcourus et explorés : ce catalogue raisonné de l'œuvre de Jean Dufy (1888-1964) s'inscrit dans cette démarche et répond à une préoccupation constante de Jacques Bailly, désireux, depuis de nombreuses années, de réaliser ce projet. Loué par la critique française des années 20 et 30, admiré par les plus prestigieux musées des Etats-Unis qui l'ont intégré à leurs collections, à l'image de l'Art Institute of Chicago ou du MoMA, apprécié par de grandes galeries américaines qui lui ont consacré de nombreuses expositions, Jean Dufy a connu dans la mémoire collective une forme relative et passagère d'oubli. C'est en hommage à une oeuvre longtemps célébrée et qui fait aujourd'hui l'objet d'une légitime reconnaissance que Jacques Bailly a décidé de publier ce catalogue raisonné, marquant ainsi la nécessité de redonner toute sa place et son importance à un peintre dont la variété d'inspiration, le sens inné de la couleur et de la composition ne sauraient être plus longtemps méconnus.

Book Description
“[An] epic account of life and loves among artists and writers in Paris from belle époque to world slump.” —William Feaver, The Spectator A legendary capital of the arts, Paris hosted some of the most legendary developments in world culture—particularly at the beginning of the twentieth century, with the flowering of fauvism, cubism, dadaism, and surrealism. In Bohemian Paris, Dan Franck leads us on a vivid and magical tour of the Paris of 1900–1930, a hotbed of artistic creation where we encounter Apollinaire, Modigliani, Cocteau, Matisse, Picasso, Hemingway, and Fitzgerald, working, loving, and struggling to stay afloat. Sixteen pages of black-and-white illustrations are featured. “Franck spins lavish historical, biographical, artistic, and even scandalous details into a narrative that will captivate both serious and casual readers . . . Marvelous and informative.” —Carol J. Binkowski, Library Journal

The School Prints
Author: Ruth ArtmonskyPublisher: Antique Collectors Club Dist
ISBN: 9781851496280
Category : Lithography
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This beautifully produced book tells the story of The School Prints series. It was dreamt up towards the end of WW2, when Brenda Rawnsley and her husband Derek had the idea of bringing contemporary art to young children by putting 'good' art into schools. Initially British artists were commissioned to produce one lithograph each, John Nash, Paul Nash, Henry Moore, John Tunnard, Barbara Jones, L.S Lowry and many more. These were issued in a series of standard-sized prints to which schools could subscribe. A war widow at the age of 30, Brenda took up the project again immediately after the war and embarked on an even more ambitious project to sign up the great European artists of her day. She travelled extensively around France - not an easy task at the time - and signed up the likes of Picasso, Braque, Leger, Matisse and Dufy to contribute works 'pour les enfants anglais' as Picasso said. Tragically the project was not a commercial success, many of the schools finding the works too avant garde and modern. However The School Prints project should be seen in the context of attempts to democratise British art in the mid-20th Century, as well as part of the renaissance of lithography that was taking place at that time. This book and its companion Art For Everyone will appeal to anyone interested in Modern British Art and sit perfectly alongside several titles in the ACC Design series. AUTHOR: Ruth Artmonsky trained as a psychologist. On her retirement from her associate directorship of a leading psychometric consultancy she ran a small art gallery. Her particular interests are the 'jobbing' artist and the democratisation of art. She has written and published a number of books on British mid-20th century art. SELLING POINTS -Exquisitely designed and packaged -Perfect companion to many titles in the ACC Design series -Topical subject due to the current fascination with Modern British and Modern prints ILLUSTRATIONS 100 colour
Les Fauves
Author: Russell T. ClementPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 0313369550
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 720
Book Description
This is the first comprehensive scholarly bibliography/research guide/sourcebook on the major French Fauve painters (Henri Matisse and Georges Braque are treated in separate Greenwood bio-bibliographies). It includes information on 3,120 books and articles as well as chronologies, biographical sketches, and exhibition lists. Each artist receives a primary and secondary bibliography with many annotated entries. Secondary bibliographies include details about each artists' life and career, relationships with other artists, work in various media, iconography, and more. Designed for art historians, art students, museum and gallery curators, and art lovers alike, this volume organizes the vast literature surrounding this fascinating, revolutionary, 20th-century art group. Genuinely new art is always challenging, sometimes even shocking to those unprepared for it. In 1905, the paintings of Matisse, Derain, Vlaminck and their friends shocked conservative museum-goers; hence, the eventual popularity of art critic Louis Vauxcelles's tag les fauves, or wild beasts by which these artists became known. Although it lasted only three or four years, Fauvism is recognized as the first artistic revolution of international consequence in the 20th century. It was based on the glorification of pure saturated colors and the free expression of primitivism. It was a dynamic sensualism; an equilibrium of passion and order, fire and austerity that could not last. By the end of 1908, Fauvism collapsed in the face of Cubism, which, moreover, several Fauve artists helped to form.
