An artist of pivotal importance to the generation of
post-Impressionists from Seurat and Gauguin to Matisse and Picasso,
Pierre Puvis de Chavannes (1824 - 1898) played a crucial role in
the history of late-19th-century French art and the development of
modernism. He was an artist of great range, originality, and
idiosyncratic invention who executed mural complexes, compelling
easel paintings, and numerous works on paper. These two companion
volumes--a critical study of the artist's life and art, and a
catalogue raisonne of his paintings--introduce many of Puvis's
works for the first time, assess his contribution, and restore him
to the pantheon of modern masters.
Volume I situates Puvis and his work in his time. With a wealth
of new documentation, it addresses the theories, forces, and events
that impinged on his art. Volume II is a complete compendium of
Puvis's easel paintings and mural cycles for civic buildings
throughout France as well as for the Boston Public Library.
