Four of these large-format pictures show exhibition rooms in the Louvre from antiquity to French rococo painting and two overdoors provide an intimate insight into the artist's collection. The cycle of paintings is of outstanding quality in both content and form, but it has seldom been examined and exhibited to date. Vuillard's Louvre pictures are a humanist manifesto for the social importance and responsibility of museums as places that preserve the evidence of human creativity for future generations. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martin Schwander\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 377743759X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783777437590\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hirmer Verlag GmbH\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/18\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.10h x 8.20w x 0.90d","brand":"Martin Schwander","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981997900031,"sku":"9783777437590","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7b7f398a-7865-461b-b3d7-9033a1ec6226.jpg?v=1683258702","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/douard-vuillard-martin-schwander-9783777437590","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
