Book excerpt: Vincent van Gogh loved both art and poetry. He especially loved the nineteenth-century Realist art and French poetry of Jules Adolphe Aime Louis Breton (1827-1906). Both Breton's art and poetry focused on the French countryside, peasant themes and, at times, his Christian faith. Van Gogh copied a number of Breton's poems and sent them in letters to his brother, Theo, and to Anthon van Rappard, an artist friend. He also promised to send Breton's complete book of poems, Les Champs et la mer /The Fields and the Sea ) to Theo. This book includes Breton's original poems Van Gogh copied with translations and commentary on each poem by the translator. Most of Breton's poems were dedicated to fellow artists or poets. These metrical translations reflect the rhyme and meter of the original French poems. Breton became well known in America for his 1884 oil on canvas, Le chant de l'alouette/The Song of the Lark (Henry Field Memorial Collection, The Art Institute of Chicago). It was exhibited at the Chicago World's Fair in 1934 where First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt stated it was her own favorite painting. This book's aim is to introduce Breton's poetry to the English-speaking world.

Book Synopsis Jules Breton, Painter of Peasant Life by : Annette Bourrut Lacouture

Download or read book Jules Breton, Painter of Peasant Life written by Annette Bourrut Lacouture. This book was released on 2002-01-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jules Breton (1827-1906), known as one of the first 'peasant painters', created beautiful scenes of rural French life and was a highly popular figure among the Salon artists of his era. Taking his inspiration from his native Artois and from the landscapes of Brittany, where he stayed for long periods, he painted peasant women and men performing their daily activities, meticulously observing their world and making it a place of peace and harmony. During the second half of the nineteenth century, rewards and official decorations were heaped upon him, and his paintings were purchased not only by the emperor but also by collectors in America, Britain and Ireland. However, Breton's work became eclipsed by the avant-garde movements of the twentieth century, and he was eventually forgotten. This book now pays Breton the tribute that he deserves. It traces the development of his career and the forces that influenced him from his childhood through his early training in Belgium and Paris to his years in Brittany. The book presents and discusses a number of important paintings by Breton, some of which have been almost unknown until now, and it shows how they reflect the artist's social and humanitarian concerns as well as his painterly abilities.

Book Synopsis Realism in Alexandrian Poetry by : Graham Zanker

Download or read book Realism in Alexandrian Poetry written by Graham Zanker. This book was released on 2024-10-31. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The poetry of Alexandria under the first three Ptolemies represents a second golden age of Greek literature. The eminence grise of poetic circles was Callimachus, whose poetic manifesto in favour of small scale, meticulously detailed and mannered works was to be of great influence on Augustan poetry in Rome. The stylistic aims of the Alexandrian poets have been much discussed, as has their reliance on literary tradition. First published in 1987, Realism in Alexandrian Poetry covers less familiar ground. Taking the whole canon of Alexandrian poetry as his starting point, Dr Zanker surveys the use of the realistic mode in works like The Idylls of Theocritus (were these real shepherds?), including such matters as the humorous elements of Callimachus Hymns, the love-story in Apollonius’ ‘Argonautica’, and the low-life sketches of epyllia like Hecale as well as the Mimes of Herodas. The striving for realism and minute detail is set in the context of the admiration of pictorialism in the plastic arts, the new valuation of science as a measure of human experience, and the deliberate mingling of high and low genres. All this is in turn placed in the cultural context of early Alexandria. Few books take the whole of Alexandrian poetry as their canvas. This one which does will be as valuable a study of the Alexandrian poets as it will be a forceful contribution to literary criticism.
