Martin Eder: Der Blasse Tanz / the Pale Dance

Fantasy and reality, animals and humans, nightmares and saccharine dreams -- these parallel worlds are the subject of the German painter's work. While his technical prowess and style recall the art of Botticelli, Cranach, Renoir, and Manet, Eder's fascination with the darkest corners of the human psyche imbue his paintings with a mood that is unique and distinctly modern. Isabelle Azoulay's unwavering examination of Eder's work brings the reader closer to this artist whose work is revealed in unprecedented depth in this beautiful and haunting volume.
