Description and Table of Contents
Description
The crucial dialogue between British and French artists in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, is explored for the first time in this unique publication. The pivotal figures of Edgar Degas, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Walter Sickert are examined alongside Pierre Bonnard, Henri Fantin-Latour, Sir William Rothenstein, James Tissot, Edourd Vuillard and James McNeill Whistler, bringing together some of the greatest names in avant-garde art of the time. Arranged chronologically, this stunningly illustrated book examines the introduction of Degas's work to the British art world; his influence on a circle of younger artists, most significantly Walter Sickert; the growing influence of French culture on British society and the first exhibitions of the quintessentially Parisian Toulouse-Lautrec in Britain. Finally, the art scene in Paris and London at the opening of the twentieth century is examined, with special reference to the creative union of Sickert, Bonnard and Vuillard, who were all contracted to Paris art-dealers Bernheim Jeune.
Featuring works either exhibited in Britain or owned by British collectors at this time, Degas Sickert and Toulouse-Lautrec includes previously unseen works as well as lavish reproductions of some of the great acknowledged masterpieces of the period.
