This series has long been neglected in favor of Courbet's paintings of rural French life. \u003ci\u003eCourbet's Landscapes: The Origins of Modern Painting\u003c\/i\u003e explores these astonishing paintings, staking a claim for their importance to Courbet's work and later developments in French modernism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Ranging from the grottoes of Courbet's native Franche-Comté to the beaches of Normandy, Paul Galvez follows the artist on his travels as he uses a palette-knife to transform the Romantic landscape of voyage into a direct, visceral confrontation with the material world. The Courbet he discovers is not the celebrated history painter of provincial life, but a committed landscapist whose view of nature aligns him with contemporary developments in geology, history, linguistics, and literature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Galvez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300244134\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300244137\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/24\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.79h x 8.58w x 0.79d","brand":"Paul Galvez","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43945250980095,"sku":"9780300244137","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_526f3e34-3ea2-4c91-876d-ef47296c5f6c.jpg?v=1681507662","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/courbets-landscapes-paul-galvez-9780300244137","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
