This book examines the relationship between the avant-garde Barbizon landscape painter, Théodore\u003cbr\u003eRousseau (1812-1867), and this market, exploring the constellation of patrons, art dealers, and critics who surrounded the artist. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSimon Kelly argues for the pioneering role of Rousseau, his patrons, and his public in the origins of the modern art market, and, in so doing, shifts attention away from the more traditional focus on the novel careers of the Impressionists and their supporters. Drawing on extensive archival research, the book offers fresh insight into the role of the modern artist as professional. It provides a new understanding of the complex iconographical and formal\u003cbr\u003echoices within Rousseau's oeuvre, rediscovering the original radical charge that once surrounded the artist's work and led to extensive and peculiarly modern tensions with the market place.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon Kelly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350430706\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350430709\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Visual Arts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.59d","brand":"Simon Kelly","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46465600094463,"sku":"9781350430709","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_44b4f88f-7c94-482f-ab94-f0cd492f6aa8.jpg?v=1736346738","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/thodore-rousseau-and-the-rise-simon-kelly-9781350430709","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
