Book excerpt: From cities to quaint towns and everything in between, Provence has something for everyone. Swim in the crystal clear waters of the Calanque de Sormiou in Marseille. Drive with the top down through fields of lavender in Valensole. Experience a bite of just-out-of-the-oven fougasse, a Provençal classic. Stand in awe of the beautiful, white Camargue horses native to the area. Located in the South of France, Provence is uniquely positioned to be a cultural blend of the Mediterranean. Roman landmarks still prevail from the 1st century AD alongside châteaus from medieval times—a varied legacy brightened by the indigenous mimosas and cypresses.

Book excerpt: Starry Night is a fully illustrated account of Van Gogh's time at the asylum in Saint-Remy. Despite the challenges of ill health and asylum life, Van Gogh continued to produce a series of masterpieces – cypresses, wheatfields, olive groves and sunsets. He wrote very little about the asylum in letters to his brother Theo, so this book sets out to give an impression of daily life behind the walls of the asylum of Saint-Paul-de-Mausole and looks at Van Gogh through fresh eyes, with newly discovered material.

Download or read book "Painting and Narrative in France, from Poussin to Gauguin " written by Nina L?bbren and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before Modernism, narrative painting was one of the most acclaimed and challenging modes of picture-making in Western art, yet by the early twentieth century storytelling had all but disappeared from ambitious art. France was a key player in both the dramatic rise and the controversial demise of narrative art. This is the first book to analyse French painting in relation to narrative, from Poussin in the early seventeenth to Gauguin in the late nineteenth century. Thirteen original essays shed light on key moments and aspects of narrative and French painting through the study of artists such as Nicolas Poussin, Charles Le Brun, Jacques-Louis David, Paul Delaroche, Gustave Moreau, and Paul Gauguin. Using a range of theoretical perspectives, the authors study key issues such as temporality, theatricality, word-and-image relations, the narrative function of inanimate objects, the role played by viewers, and the ways in which visual narrative has been bound up with history painting. The book offers a fresh look at familiar material, as well as studying some little-known works of art, and reveals the centrality and complexity of narrative in French painting over the course of three centuries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first chapter is set in Provence in August 1944 – shortly after the French and American troops had landed in the south of France – 15th August 1944 – and the Nazi occupiers and their fascist collaborators knew they were defeated. A noble family, in their chateau on their vineyard in Provence, are protecting, hiding a young Jewish boy – David. The family, Comte, wife, children, domestic staff are murdered by a member of Vichy’s fascist militia – Milice. David is wounded but survives. He is subsequently sheltered in a Benedictine Monastery until the end of the war and for some time after. The treasures of the chateau, including an Old Master, are stolen. He subsequently migrates to Australia. Many decades later he advises his employer, friend that he must return to Provence because of two disturbing incidents – a murder and possible desecration of a Jewish cemetery – where he is killed. An Australian investigative journalist, Tony Britt, is commissioned to go to France, to Provence to investigate the circumstances of David’ death. Tony goes to Paris to research the history of the Vichy government – 1940-1944 – and the persecution of French Jews during the Nazi occupation. He is joined by his companion Jo and they travel to Provence, to Carpentras where they consult with the Justice Department, the Benedictine monastery, the historic synagogue, an art historian. The beauty of Provence and the legendary love of Petrarch (1304-1374) for Laura are recurring themes throughout their time in Provence.

Download or read book Bloomsbury and France written by Mary Ann Caws and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1999-12-02 with total page 703 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Bloomsbury on the Mediterranean," is how Vanessa Bell described France in a letter to her sister, Virginia Woolf. Remarking on the vivifying effect of Cassis, Woolf herself said, "I will take my mind out of its iron cage and let it swim.... Complete heaven, I think it." Yet until now there has never been a book that focused on the profound influence of France on the Bloomsbury group. In Bloomsbury and France: Art and Friends, Mary Ann Caws and Sarah Bird Wright reveal the crucial importance of the Bloomsbury group's frequent sojourns to France, the artists and writers they met there, and the liberating effect of the country itself. Drawing upon many previously unpublished letters, memoirs, and photographs, the book illuminates the artistic development of Virginia and Leonard Woolf, Clive Bell, David Garnett, E. M. Forster, Lytton Strachey, Dora Carrington, and others. The authors cover all aspects of the Bloomsbury experience in France, from the specific influence of French painting on the work of Roger Fry, Duncan Grant, and Vanessa Bell, to the heady atmosphere of the medieval Cistercian Abbaye de Pontigny, the celebrated meeting place of French intellectuals where Lytton Strachey, Julian Bell, and Charles Mauron mingled with writers and critics, to the relationships between the Bloomsbury group and Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Gertrude Stein, Andre Gide, Jean Marchand, and many others. Caws and Wright argue that Bloomsbury would have been very different without France, that France was their anti-England, a culture in which their eccentricities and aesthetic experiments could flower. This remarkable study offers a rich new perspective on perhaps the most creative group of artists and friends in the 20th century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Van Gogh in Provence: Modernizing Tradition is the third part of a trilogy initiated by the inauguration of the Fondation Vincent Van Gogh in Arles. It brings together 31 paintings which illustrate, with regard to the classic genres of portraiture, the still life and landscape, the continuity that goes hand in hand in Vincent's work with energetic new departures and innovations. Right from the start, the simple life, people and landscapes stand at the centre of Vincent's artistic vision and his inimitable expressive will. And here, in Arles and Saint-Remy-de-Provence between 1888 and 1890, he finds the light, the motifs and the inspiration that spur him on to his most important works.
