Description
Camille Corot's Women: A New Perspective This publication presents a new appraisal of the intriguing and meditative figural works by one of the 19th century's great masters of landscape. The women painted by Corot are depicted in quiet majesty, conveying an independent spirit and a sense of their inner lives through his deft handling of color and delicate touch. Corot's figural paintings, although a relatively small part of his oeuvre, had a significant impact on the development of modernist painting. This book encompasses forty paintings by Corot, showcasing his work from the 1840s to the 1860s, including single-figure busts, full-length images, and allegorical series devoted to the model in the studio. Essays by leading experts address various aspects of Corot's work, including his debt to the old masters, the impact of his pictures on 19th- and 20th-century painting, and the relationship between his figural work and landscape practice.
