A comprehensive look at an important member of the artistic
vanguard of late 19th- and early 20th-century Europe In this
beautifully illustrated book, Michel Draguet, an internationally
recognized authority on fin-de-siecle art, offers an enlightening
examination of the life and art of Belgian Symbolist painter
Fernand Khnopff (1858-1921). Khnopff achieved widespread acclaim
during his lifetime for his moody, dreamlike paintings, as well as
his numerous commissioned portraits, designs for costumes and sets
for the theater and opera, photography, sculpture, book
illustrations, and writings. Khnopff was a reclusive personality,
and in 1900 he focused his attention on the design and construction
of a lavish, secluded home and studio in Brussels, a structure that
became deeply entwined with the artist's work and sense of self.
Although the house was demolished in 1936, Draguet uses new
archival research to reconstruct its spaces and explore the home as
emblematic of the artist, guiding the reader through Khnopff's very
personal world and analyzing his art in the context of its
generative surroundings. Distributed for Mercatorfonds
