  Souvent associé à la naissance de l'impressionnisme dans le Paris du milieu du XIXe siècle, Edgar Degas (1834-1917) a en réalité échappé à toute catégorisation trop simpliste pour développer un style unique, profondément influencé par les grands maîtres, les corps en mouvement et la vie quotidienne urbaine.
  Fils aîné d'une riche famille, Degas a participé à fonder la série d'expositions de l'art «impressionniste», mais s'en est rapidement dissocié pour adopter une approche plus réaliste. Ses sujets se sont portés vers les rues bondées et bruyantes de Paris et ses divertissements et plaisirs, tels que les courses de chevaux, les cabarets et surtout les ballets. Par leurs perspectives ambitieuses et décalées, ses représentations de ballerines, qui constituent près de 1500 oeuvres, sont toutes très marquées par l'attention portée au corps et la rigueur de la danse.
  À travers des oeuvres comme Le Foyer de la danse à l'Opéra (1872) ou Musiciens à l'orchestre (1872) parmi d'autres, cet ouvrage offre une présentation incontournable de l'artiste qui a résisté aux catégories en créant la sienne propre, soit un monde mêlant résonance classique, compositions audacieuses et une fascination éternelle pour le mouvement, pour donner parmi les oeuvres les plus saisissantes et influentes de l'époque.

  • 9783754401415

  This inspiring collection covers the work, the lives, and the enduring impact of five key Impressionists, in one volume that's a primer and a celebration of probably the most popular artistic genre of all time. Each featured artist broke boundaries in different ways, astounding late 19th-century society with their boldness of vision and technique.Edgar Degas explored movement and the human form with masterly style and innovative compositions, most famously of dancers, racehorses, and busy streetscapes. Claude Monet was a maestro of light and atmosphere, capturing the fleeting moment with his iconic water lilies and series paintings. Pierre-Auguste Renoir celebrated beauty and sensuality, bringing vibrancy to everyday scenes with lush brushwork and a radiant palette. Paul Gauguin sought inspiration in the exotic, using bold colors and symbolism, often to unsettling effect. Finally, Vincent van Gogh's highly emotive use of color and vigorous brushstrokes conveyed his private turmoil and did much to lay the groundwork for Expressionism.Together, these five creative masters redefined what art dared to achieve, emphasizing personal expression alongside their exploration of light, color, and perspective. Their output marked a pivotal shift to modern artistic freedoms and expectations.This collection looks beyond their most famous works and includes an extensive text on each artist's oeuvre, alongside a detailed biography and more than 400 high-quality color illustrations.
