Pierre Bonnard, Paul Cezanne, Edgar Degas, Kees van Dongen, Paul Gauguin, Fernand Leger, Henri Matisse, Joan Miro, Amedeo Modigliani, Pablo Picasso, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, all painted in praise of women. Works by all these great artists have been combined in a unique study celebrating Woman as a goddess, mother, wife, lover, and femme fatale. Key paintings in oil by each of these great artists evoke a kaleidoscope of different sensual, sexual, and maternal emotions. In addition, there are 30 images by Pablo Picasso in other media: in pencil, watercolor, and chalk. "L'Eternel Feminin," a central theme in Picasso's work, is reflected in these pictures, taken from many different periods in the artist's life. Many of the 80 works, which have rarely, if ever, been published, come from well-known private collections all over the world. 224 pages with 150 illustrations, 135 in color.

History

Prestel Pub

An exhibition catalogue of the works of Marc Chagall which includes 70 paintings from all phases of his extensive oeuvre, many of which have remained inaccessible to the general public until now. Thirteeen years after the artist's death works from his private collections, together with loans from museums around the world present a cross-section of the artist's life work. The pictures are artistic celebrations of love and life; aglow with colour, his world lends expression to dreams and desires. People and animals as well as churches and houses from his native town Vitebsk were rich sources of inspiration for Chagall. They are the leitmotif that runs through his work, in their various manifestations they fill the oil paintings, gouaches and watercolors reproduced in this volume.The essays illuminate Chagalls' life and examine the artistic infuences exerted on his work by the Western avant-garde.

History & Criticism

A selection of Chagall’s ceramic works—a seldom-studied facet of this beloved artist’s oeuvre—is beautifully presented in this fully-illustrated volume. 
Marc Chagall (1887-1985) is one of the twentieth century’s most accessible and lyrical artists. Chagall’s haunting, emotional portrayals of his Jewish heritage, his folkloric images and exuberant use of color have a universal appeal. His distinctive style is also evident in the wide variety of ceramic pieces ranging from painted platters and tiles, to wall ceramics, vases and jugs featured in this book. These illustrate not only stories from the Old Testament but also from fables and folktales. Reproduced in color, these ceramic works have been drawn from a number of private and public collections from around the globe, and are accompanied by brief critical essays and the artist’s biography. This informative retrospective fills an important void in the study of Chagall’s long and varied career.

Individual Artists

As an avant-garde artist of the twentieth century, painter Paul Klee's work defies classification. What is indisputable, however, is its originality and brilliance. Taken from the artist's most prolific years, 1917-1933, this book presents works that Klee never intended to sell. More than 100 colour plates reveal Klee's chromatic genius and wide stylistic range. Along with an indepth biography, the book features three essays, which examine Klee's versatility, place him in context with his contemporaries, and discuss his process for cataloguing his works. The result is a unique and far-reaching exploration of one of the twentieth century's most important and admired artists, at the most fecund stage of his career.
