Description
First published in 2016, Chardin and Rembrandt is a literary experiment that explores the importance of visual art to Marcel Proust's development. Written at just 24 years old, this essay is a unique blend of art criticism and philosophical reflection.
Proust's work takes an unnamed narrator on an imaginary tour through the Louvre, where his readings of Jean-Siméon Chardin imbue everyday life with new meaning. Meanwhile, ruminations on Rembrandt take his melancholic pupil beyond the realm of mere objects. This newly translated edition offers a fresh perspective on one of Proust's most important and influential works.
The afterword by renowned scholar Alain Madeleine-Perdrillat provides an impassioned argument in favor of returning to Proust's early thinking, highlighting the significance of this essay as a precursor to his later groundbreaking work. With its unique blend of art, philosophy, and literary experimentation, Chardin and Rembrandt is a fascinating insight into Proust's development as a writer.
