Herbert, Robert L.
From Millet to Leger: Essays in Social Art History
New Haven Yale University Press 2002 0300097069 / 9780300097061 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Fine Collectible
Cloth, xi, 210 pp., illus. (some col.), bib. notes, index; 27 cm. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Dust jacket protected in a mylar book cover. OVERSIZE! No priority/air, except by special arrangement. "A pre-eminent scholar of nineteenth- and twentieth-century French art, Robert L. Herbert has written extensively on aspects of this subject during his long career. This book brings together some of his most important essays, works that discuss the artistic and social issues that lie behind the surfaces of notable prints and paintings by such artists as Millet, Courbet, Daubigny, Monet, Pissarro, Signac, Delaunay, Léger, and Ernst. In an introduction prepared for this volume, Herbert explains that these essays are linked by a focus on the relation of art to the urban-industrial revolution. The first three essays explore how artists in the second half of the nineteenth century were attracted to images of rural life and landscape as a reaction to growing industrialization and urbanization, at the same time creating new techniques and pictorial devices whose radical inventions opposed the dominant forms and subjects of academic art. Four essays then address issues of overt social and political opposition among artists, demonstrating that these oppositions were in fact embraced within modernist capitalism as correctives to outmoded traditions. The concluding essays center on Léger and the period from 1910 to 1925, in which there was a sudden acceptance of industrial imagery and the creation of forms that expressed the dynamism and fragmentation of modern culture. Written in a lively and accessible style, this book will appeal to students, scholars, and lovers of French art. / Robert L. Herbert is professor emeritus of humanities at Mount Holyoke College. He is also the author of Seurat: Drawings and Paintings; Nature’s Workshop: Renoir’s Writings on the Decorative Arts; Monet on the Normandy Coast: Tourism and Painting, 1867-1886; and Impressionism: Art, Leisure; and Parisian Society, all published by Yale University Press." - Publisher.

Nature's Workshop: Renoir's Writings on the Decorative Arts
New Haven, CT Yale University Press 2000 0300081367 / 9780300081367 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Fine Collectible
Cloth, gilt, xiv, 278 pp., [32] pp. of plates, illus. (some col.), biblio., index; 25 cm. AS NEW. Dust jacket protected in a mylar book cover. "This book shows Auguste Renoir in an entirely new light, revealing an artist far more complex and thoughtful than previously believed. Seven unknown and unpublished texts written by Renoir, along with four other writings once published but now largely forgotten, are presented here in both French and English. They identify Renoir as an impassioned critic of architecture, architectural decoration, and the education of artists. These surprising texts were written in 1883-84, when Renoir hoped to found an exhibition society grouping all the crafts, and around 1910, when he prepared several drafts of a preface to a French translation of Cennino Cennini's medieval treatise on the arts. Robert L. Herbert has uncovered Renoir's 'Grammar of Art,' long believed lost, and has disproved the idea that his reading of Cennini was related to his trip to Italy in 1881. Renoir provides a walking tour of Paris with abundant references to specific buildings exhibiting the Second Empire architecture he found so despicable. He examines academic art, modern industry, and how together they undermine the values of craft and individuality. And he insists that good art like nature never achieves perfect geometry or symmetry but is unregimented, 'natural.' Herbert discusses Renoir's aesthetic in the context of the flow of ideas on the decorative arts at the time and reassesses the artist in the light of these lively rediscovered writings. / Robert L. Herbert is Andrew W. Mellon Professor of Humanities Emeritus at Mount Holyoke College. He is also the author of Monet on the Normandy Coast." - Publisher.

Herbert, Robert L.; Harris, Neil (Essay by), and Druick, Douglas W., et al. (Contributions by)
Seurat and the Making of La Grande Jatte
Chicago and Berkeley, CA Art Institute of Chicago in association with the University of California Press 2004 0520242114 / 9780520242111 First paperback edition Soft Cover NEW Exhibition Catalogue
288 pp., illus. (some col.), biblio., index; 27 x 30 cm. Published in conjunction with an exhibition organized by the Art Institute of Chicago and presented June 16-Sept. 19, 2004. BRAND NEW. Stated "First Edition." OVERSIZE! No priority/air, except by special arrangement. "'Bedlam,' 'scandal,' and 'hilarity' were among the epithets used to describe the effect of what is now considered Georges Seurat's greatest work, and one of the most remarkable paintings of the nineteenth century, when it was first exhibited in Paris in 1886. A Sunday on La Grande Jatte--1884, an extensive landscape peopled with over forty figures, took the artist almost two years to complete. Inspired by research in optical and color theory, Seurat juxtaposed tiny dots of colors on the canvas that form a single and more brilliantly luminous hue in the viewer's eye. This sumptuous book, created to accompany a major exhibition at the Art Institute of Chicago, provides a fascinating, in-depth examination of the gestation, execution, and influence of Seurat's masterpiece. La Grande Jatte has been part of the Art Institute of Chicago's collection since 1926. Bringing together all known studies and drawings directly related to the painting, this volume provides a visual and contextual survey of Seurat's working methods and aesthetic priorities, as well as the evolutionary process that culminated in his singular achievement. Included are more than fifty-five prepartory works, ranging from rich conte crayon drawings to oil sketches on small wood panels to larger studies painted on canvas. In their quantity, intricacy, and variety, these works reveal a compositional process that harks back to Old Master traditions and methods, which had been largely abandoned by Seurat's immediate predecessors, the Impressionists. The many studies attest to the artist's ambitions for his masterpiece and open up a broader context for understanding the painting. Robert L. Herbert, who has written extensively on the artist, traces Seurat's beginnings in the context of Barbizon painting and Impressionism. Works by Monet, Pissarro, and Renoir are included, as well as a discussion of La Grande Jatte's influence on contemporary art and Seurat's impact on twentieth-century artists such as Leger and others from the School of Paris. An accompanying essay by Neil Harris assesses La Grande Jatte's iconic status in Chicago and beyond, considering a history of the painting's promotion, presentation, and exhibition. A landmark publication, this book provides dazzling proof of why La Grande Jatte is among the most frequently reproduced paintings in the world and why it continues to fascinate scholars and art lovers today. / Robert L. Herbert is Andrew W. Mellon Professor Emeritus of Humanities at Mount Holyoke College. Among his publications are Seurat's Drawings (1962), Impressionism: Art, Leisure, and Parisian Society (1988), Monet on the Normandy Coast: Tourism and Painting (1994), Nature's Workshop: Renoir's Writings on the Decorative Arts (2000), and Seurat: Drawings and Paintings (2001). Neil Harris is Preston and Sterling Morton Professor of History at the University of Chicago. Among his publications is Chicago's Dream, a World's Treasure: The Art Institute of Chicago, 1893-1993 (1993)." - Publisher.
