Bøger om Impressionisme

For at sikre det engelske herresæde Wentworth, der har været i slægtens besiddelse i generationer, tvinges Lady Victoria Wentworth til at afhænde et af familiens klenodier, et verdensberømt og uvurderligt Van Gogh-maleri. Køberen er Bryce Fenston, manden bag en lyssky bankvirksomhed med kontorer i Twin Towers i New York. Men da Victoria myrdes i sit hjem natten til 11. september 2001, forsvinder maleriet sporløst. Anna Petrescu, der arbejder som kunstekspert for Fenston, befinder sig i North Tower, da det første fly rammer. Hun formodes død. Under dække af denne status kæmper hun for at afsløre sin arbejdsgivers dobbeltspil og for at finde maleriet. Men hendes modstander er nådesløs, og kampen bringer hende verden rundt på en krævende og farlig mission. ”Hvis der var en nobelpris i fortællekunst, ville Archer få den.” Daily Telegraph

Der boede tre kvinder i Giverny, den landsby i Normandiet, hvor Monet malede sine berømte åkander. Den første var ondskabsfuld. Den anden var løgnagtig. Den tredje var egoistisk. Alle tre syntes, at landsbyen var et fængsel, en stor og smuk have omgivet af et gitter. Et maleri, hvis ramme det var umuligt at bryde at bryde ud af. En gang, i tretten dage, åbnede lågerne sig dog for dem … Disse tretten dage fløj forbi som en parentes i deres liv, der begyndte med et mord på den første dag og endte med endnu et på den sidste. Da Michel Bussis prisvindende roman Sorte åkander udkom i 2011, vandt den både læsernes og anmeldernes hjerter. Men betyder det også, at man kan omskabe den til en enestående tegneserie? Ja, det gør det, hvis den er bearbejdet af Fred Duval, og Didier Cassegrain har stået for tegningerne. Cassegrain er kendt for sine actiontegneserier, men denne gang griber han penslen for at nedlægge al sin kunstneriske kunnen i denne historie, som udspiller sig i impressionismens hovedstad. Takket være Fred Duval og Didier Cassegrain kan Michel Bussis roman nu læses i tegneserieform. En åbenbaring.Uddrag af bogen – Det er Stéphanie Dupain, der er i fare! Da jeg mødtes med hende, fornemmede jeg noget … Et lidt for intenst blik, et lidt for kraftigt håndtryk … En bøn om hjælp. Nu har jeg sagt det! – Siden De nu er så glad for at tale rent ud af posen, så synes jeg, De vrøvler, chef! Hun er nuttet, helt sikkert! Jeg kan godt se, hvor De vil hen, men De må ikke forlange, at jeg tilslutter mig Deres teori!

Ravel var en på mange måder ejendommelig personlighed. Hans sårbarhed som kunstner er interessant. Han følte, at musikken var hans kald, og at han aldrig havdekunnet beskæftige sig med andet. ”Det er min store lykke, at jeg var i stand til at komponere musik, for jeg ved udmærket godt, at jeg aldrig ville have været i stand til at gøre noget andet,” sagde han engang. I dag står Maurice Ravel så som et af debetydeligste og mest virtuose, opfindsomme og populære navne i det tyvendeårhundredes musik.

Forfatteren, som selv er maler, besøgte Monets hus og have i Giverny i det nordlige Frankrig gennem en hel forårsuge. Denne kunstner havde nemlig altid betydet meget for forfatteren som maler. Monets blide og varme farvevalg anes tit i forfatterens egne oliemalerier. Denne bog er en af de mange hyldester, denne store impressionistiske maler har modtaget gennem tiderne. Forfatteren har forsøgt at gå ret dybt i Monets liv og arbejde på basis af sine besøg i området og gennem det store udvalg af bøger, der er skrevet om denne kunstner. Den er derfor et nyt tekstsupplement til det store billedmateriale, der allerede findes om denne kunstner. Forfatteren og hans hustru tilbringer en hel uge i Giverny og besøger Monets have dagligt. De forsøger på denne måde at nå dybt ind i de tanker, denne kunstner har haft om sin have, inspiration og kunst.

Frans Hals is one of the most important portrait painters of all time. Like Rembrandt, the famous Dutch Baroque master's striking portraits of the bourgeoisie and social outsiders are distinguished by their extraordinary vividness and accurate depiction. His sketch-like paintings, executed with bold brushstrokes, had a decisive influence on modernist painting. This comprehensive publication coincides with the first major survey exhibition of Hals' oeuvre in more than thirty years. FRANS HALS (1582/84-1666) was born in Antwerp, the son of a cloth merchant. In 1610 he was accepted into the Haarlem Guild of St. Luke. Hals created hundreds of genre paintings, individual, and group portraits and enjoyed great public prestige. Despite his fame during his lifetime, it was not until the nineteenth century that he was enthusiastically rediscovered by the Impressionists and Realists.

Georg Brandes (1842-1927) er mest kendt for sit storværk "Hovedstrømninger i det 19de Aarhundredes Litteratur" (udg. i seks bind 1872-1890), hvori han talte den politiske friheds sag og gav en opsang til dansk litteratur, som dyrkede gamle romantiske idealer og ikke lukkede op for nye europæiske strømninger.Georg Brandes havde også stærke æstetiske sider. De er på forskellig måde hovedemnet i de artikler, Pil Dahlerup i årenes løb har skrevet om ham, og som udgives samlet i denne antologi. Georg Brandes' sprog var noget særligt. Sol-metaforik indgik i det, og hans livslange interesse for billedkunst fik ham til at give sit sprog farve og form, så det kunne ses, ligesom maleri og skulptur. Se artiklerne "Georg Brandes' sol", "Georg Brandes' billeder" og "En visuel poetik". Antologien indeholder desuden artikler om Georg Brandes' syn på naturalisme, impressionisme, fædrelandskærlighed og på den katolske kirke. Nogle kapitler fra "Det moderne gennembruds kvinder" (1983) er genoptrykt under overskriften "Fader, Don Juan og Tristan". Blandt de nyere bidrag er "Festtale for Georg Brandes" i anledning af 150-året for Indledningsforelæsningen til "Hovedstrømninger" (3. nov. 1871) og "Georg Brandes' aske", som handler om en oplevelse i Brandes-Arkivet på Det Kongelige Bibliotek.Pil Dahlerup (f. 1939), dr.phil., litteraturhistoriker; 1969-2009 ansat ved Nordisk Filologi, Københavns Universitet, fra 1989 som docent. Leder af Georg Brandes Skolen samme sted 2002-2009, en international Ph.D. Skole for skandinavisk litteratur. Gæstelærer ved University of California, Berkeley 1987-1988.

The new edition of this beautiful new book revels in the scenes of Tahiti, the sunlit bodies, the shapes and styles of the South Pacific each of which have secured him a unique place in the history of art.

Discover how painters such as Van Gogh, Mondrian, and Jacoba van Heemskerck drew on the legacy of Dutch landscapes and realism to put their own spin on the Impressionist movement. Impressionism may have originated in France, but artists in late 19th- and early 20th-century Netherlands quickly made it their own. The genre's vibrant colors and focus on light and atmosphere were a perfect complement to the country's groundbreaking traditions of landscape painting and realism. This exhibition catalog brings together hundreds of works by nearly forty artists including Johan Barthold Jongkind, Vincent van Gogh, Jacoba van Heemskerck, and Piet Mondrian. It traces the birth of the Hague School, whose practitioners captured the changing moods of light in the coastline's vast, grey skies.

Accompanies the Berthe Morisot: Shaping Impressionism at the Dulwich Picture Gallery 31 March - 10 September 2023Berthe Morisot: Impressionism and the 18th Centuryis the first major UK exhibition of the renowned Impressionist since 1950. In partnership with the Musée Marmottan Monet, Paris, it will bring together around 30 of Morisot's most important works from international collections, many never seen before in the UK, to reveal the artist as a trailblazer of the movement as well as uncovering a previously untold connection between her work and 18th century culture, with around 20 works for comparison.A founding member of the Impressionist group, Berthe Morisot (1841-1895) was known for her swiftly painted glimpses of contemporary life and intimate domestic scenes. She featured prominently in the Impressionist exhibitions and defied social norms to become one of the movement's most influential figures. Berthe Morisot: Impressionism and the 18th Century will draw on new research and previously unpublished archival material from the Musée Marmottan Monet to trace the roots of her inspiration, revealing the ways in which Morisot engaged with 18th century art and culture, while also highlighting the originality of her artistic vision, which ultimately set her apart from her predecessors.Highlights will include Eugène Manet on the Isle of Wight (1875), painted while Morisot was on honeymoon in England, and her striking Self-Portrait (1885), which will appear alongside Jean-Honoré Fragonard's Young Woman (c.1769) from Dulwich Picture Gallery's collection. Apollo revealing his divinity to the shepherdess Issé, after François Boucher (1892), In the Apple Tree (1890) and Julie Manet with her Greyhound Laerte (1893), are among nine paintings on loan from the Musée Marmottan Monet, many receiving their first ever showing in the UK.

"This is a travel adventure set in the legendary French city of Arles. Founded in Roman times, Arles is a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in scenic Provence in the south of France. For the last hundred years it has been an important destination for the countless tourists who arrive in pursuit of the great Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh, who famously spent an intense fourteen months in Arles, painting the most brilliant works of his career (all those sunflowers and quivering landscapes), squabbling with fellow artist Paul Gauguin, guzzling absinthe, and famously cutting off the lobe of his ear, which landed him in the local hospital in the throes of a mental breakdown. Linda Seidel has visited Arles many times, initially to study the splendid medieval church of Saint-Trophime, but eventually to follow in the long shadow of Vincent's passage, which he recorded in numerous paintings and drawings. Together, they make a pair of charming guides, sharing with us the wonders of Arles's Roman amphitheater, which seats 20,000 people and has been in continuous use for two thousand years; the Alyscamps, a Roman cemetery featuring paths still lined with ancient sarcophagi; the Church of St. Trophime with its astonishing Romanesque portal; the Arles Hospital, which has been converted into a museum about Vincent; the cafes and bars where he hung out; new buildings such as the tower by Frank Gehry; and of course the Provenðcal countryside with its dazzling wildflowers and quaint farms. Ultimately, this is Vincent's story, told as never before through an engagement with the mysterious, culturally rich town that transformed his life and, indeed, the entire course of modern art"--
