Title: Color and light. The neo-impressionist henri-edmond cross
Description: Prestel. Hardcover. Pp: 248. Inspired by the work of Realist painters such as Gustave Courbet and Francois Bonvin, Henri-Edmond Cross`s earliest paintings were compositions in dark, somber colors. Following his involvement with the avant-gardist circle around Georges Seurat, he gradually adopted the Neo-Impressionist technique and began to develop a unique visual vocabulary. After his move to the Mediterranean coast in 1891, Cross`s palette became increasingly lighter, resulting in dazzlingly colorful landscapes, genre paintings, and compositions that are overlaid with mythological and allegorical allusions. This volume traces Cross`s artistic trajectory through all stages of his prolific career and situates his masterful approach to color and light within the broader context of the European avant-garde of his time. In addition, it examines the painter`s anarchist sympathies and the political dimensions of his depictions of utopian sceneries. ISBN: 9783791357737. Cond./Kwaliteit: Ramsj.
