| Courbet and the Modern Landscape (Getty Trust Publications: J. Paul Getty Museum) by Getty Publications Beautiful! |
| This is an absolutely lovely book that makes for great reading and seeing. This exhibit at the Getty was one of the most inspiring I've ever seen, and I really think that the book does it justice, especially with very interesting close-ups that really let you feel the brushwork and energy that vibrates through Courbet's work. Love love love. |

| Courbet and the Modern Landscape (Getty Trust Publications: J. Paul Getty Museum) by Getty Publications Product Description |
With its fittingly dramatic design, Courbet and the Modern Landscape accompanies the first major museum exhibition specifically to address Gustave Courbet's extraordinary achievement in landscape painting. Many of these carefully selected works produced from 1855 to 1876--gathered from Asia, Europe, and North America--will be new to readers.
The catalogue--which accompanies an exhibition at the Getty Museum to be held from February 21 to May 14, 2006--highlights the artist's expressive responses to the natural environment. Essays by the curators examine Courbet's distinctly modern practice of landscape painting. Mary Morton's essay situates his landscapes in relation to his work in other genres, his critical reputation, and his role in establishing a new pictorial language for landscape painting. Charlotte Eyerman's essay investigates how later generations of nineteenth- and twentieth-century artists responded to Courbet's example. The catalogue also includes an essay by Dominique de Font-Reaulx, curator of photographs at the Musee d'Orsay, on the relationship between Courbet's work and landscape photography of the 1850s and 1860s. |
