Through his publicly exhibited works and their critical reception, Millet was of crucial significance to modernist painters. Millet's modernity is evident in his varied subjects--from peasant themes to landscapes to nudes--and his anti-academic, rough paint application. He also produced highly inventive pastels and drawings. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eJean-François Millet\u003c\/i\u003e examines the international range of artists whom he influenced. For instance, Millet was an artistic hero for Vincent van Gogh, whose treatment of numerous motifs--including \u003ci\u003eThe Sower\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eStarry Night\u003c\/i\u003e--was directly inspired by the older artist. Van Gogh even painted a remarkable series of 21 \"copies\" after Millet's work while living in the south of France in the final year of his life. Other artists on whom Millet had a profound impact include Camille Pissarro, Georges Seurat, Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, and Winslow Homer, and, in the 20th century, most notably Edvard Munch and Salvador Dalí. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePublished in association with the Van Gogh Museum and the Saint Louis Art Museum \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVan Gogh Museum, Amsterdam\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (October 4, 2019-January 12, 2020)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSaint Louis Art Museum\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (February 16-May 17, 2020)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon Kelly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300248660\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300248661\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 01\/07\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.20h x 8.90w x 0.90d","brand":"Simon Kelly","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44302429782271,"sku":"9780300248661","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d3baf065-22cb-4ee9-8014-6ed230077fc2.jpg?v=1695161538","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/millet-and-modern-art-simon-kelly-9780300248661","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
