FAUVES AND FAUVISM
Published by Rizzoli International Publications. 1st thus. 1987
Very good condition. Revised paperback edition. Fauves and Fauvism is a lucid, image-centred account that rescues a movement too often reduced to a catchphrase about “wild†colour. Jean Leymarie combines connoisseurship, historical sweep and clear critical intelligence to show that Fauvism belongs among the decisive aesthetic moments of modern painting. This is a comprehensive study, illustrating the work of some twenty artists, French, German, Dutch and Russian, and fills in the essential background of pre-Fauvism going back to Monet, Gauguin and Van Gogh. Large format. Green pictorial cardwraps. Colour illustrations. 120 pages including index.
Corners of covers lightly rubbed, a few minor marks and scuffs to covers. Minor foxing to text block. Contents clean.
