Courbet A&I (Art and Ideas) Details
Few artists have been so directly invoved in the events of their time as Gustave Courbert. Amid the social transformations of the mid-19th century, Courberts unconventional and stark paintings came to embody values with radical political implications.
Reviews
As in his biography of Manet, Rubin has constructed a thoughtful, somewhat academic analysis of this French realist painter that provides clear links to the socio-political landscape that helped create him and nurtured his strong reactions against it.
