Description
Certain Artists offers a unique glimpse into the aesthetic preoccupations of its author. First published in 1889, this collection of art criticism includes over 140 black and white illustrations, as well as an introduction, comprehensive notes, and a glossary of the artists mentioned.
Comprising two collections of J.-K. Huysmans' art criticism, Certain Artists serves as a companion to his earlier work Modern Art (L'Art moderne). The book presents Huysmans' idiosyncratic assessments on various artistic movements and styles, including those of Edgar Degas, Odilon Redon, Gustave Moreau, and Felicien Rops.
Translated into English for the first time, Certain Artists provides a fascinating insight into the art criticism of late 19th-century France. With its unique blend of analysis and invective, this book is an interesting read for those interested in the history of modern art.
