Description
An important book which was the catalogue from the landmark retrospective of Gustave Courbet held at the Grand Palais, marking the centenary of the artist’s death. Richly illustrated with black-and-white and color plates, this scholarly volume documents Courbet’s radical realist approach, with works such as A Burial at Ornans and The Stone Breakers, emphasizing his rejection of academic idealism in favor of unflinching depictions of social realities. At the time it also showed never-repeated loan arrangements from 30+ collections.
