A fascinating journey into Pierre Bonnard’s world and the
inspiration behind his spatially arresting and intimate paintings
 Pierre Bonnard’s paintings are renowned for their unusual
intimacy. Delving into the sensory realms of experience that fueled
Bonnard’s practice—from the most public to the most
private—this volume looks at the inspiration behind the
artist’s work. Through the lens of more than 70 works, including
many largely unknown examples from private collections in addition
to celebrated paintings from museums around the world, scholarly
essays transport the reader into Bonnard’s world and shed new
light on the artist’s unique life circumstances. Governed neither
by chronology nor geography, but by measures of intimacy, this
study travels with Bonnard through the landscapes of Paris and
Normandy, to the interior spaces of the artist’s dwellings, and
deep into the artist’s thoughts.   Distributed for

A revelatory and wide-ranging exploration of Renoir's extraordinary
depictions of the nude and their important artistic legacy Best
known as part of the influential vanguard of Impressionist artists
that experimented with new painting techniques in the late 19th
century, Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841-1919) was deeply inspired by
classical traditions and returned again and again to the canonical
subject of the nude. Tracing the entire arc of Renoir's career,
this volume examines the different approaches the artist employed
in his various depictions of the subject-from his works that
respond to Gustave Courbet, Edouard Manet, Edgar Degas, and Paul
Cezanne, to his late, and still controversial, depictions of
bathers that inspired the next generation of artists. Eminent
scholars not only look at the different ways that Renoir used the
nude as a means of personal expression but also analyze Renoir's
art in terms of a modern feminist critique of the male gaze.
Offering the first-ever comprehensive investigation of Renoir's
nudes, this beautifully illustrated study includes approximately 50
works, including paintings, pastels, drawings, and sculptures. The
book also features an interview with the contemporary figurative
painter Lisa Yuskavage that considers Renoir's continuing influence
and the historical significance of the female nude in art.

The first comprehensive examination of the painter's formative
years, tracing the evolution of Monet's early style and personal
ambitions that drove the rest of his career This elegant volume is
the first to be devoted to the young genius of Claude Monet
(1840-1926). Bringing together the greatest paintings from his
early career-including his first Salon-exhibited work, the Kimbell
Art Museum's La Pointe de la Heve at Low Tide; Dejeuner sur l'Herbe
(Luncheon on the Grass) and The Magpie from the Musee d'Orsay; and
The Green Wave and La Grenouillere from the Metropolitan Museum of
Art-it features essays by distinguished scholars, focusing on the
evolution of Monet's own distinctive mode of painting. Through the
1860s, the young painter absorbed and transformed a variety of
influences, from the lessons of the Barbizon school and his mentor
Boudin to the challenges posed by his friends Manet, Pissarro,
Renoir, and Sisley. Artistic innovation and personal ambition
shaped the work of the celebrated impressionist painter from the
very start of his long and illustrious career. Distributed for the
