Book excerpt: The Unknown MasterpieceLe Chef-d'oeuvre inconnuHonor� de BalzacTranslated by Ellen MarriageLe Chef-d'oeuvre inconnu (English "The Unknown Masterpiece") is a short story by Honor� de Balzac. It was first published in the newspaper L'Artiste with the title "Ma�tre Frenhofer" (English: "Master Frenhofer") in August 1831. It appeared again later in the same year under the title "Catherine Lescault, conte fantastique." It was published in Balzac's �tudes philosophiques in 1837 and was integrated into the Com�die humaine in 1846."Le Chef-d'oeuvre inconnu" is a reflection on art, and has had an important influence on modernist artists.Young Nicolas Poussin, as yet unknown, visits the painter Porbus in his workshop. He is accompanied by the old master Frenhofer who comments expertly on the large tableau that Porbus has just finished. The painting is of Mary of Egypt, and while Frenhofer sings her praises, he hints that the work seems unfinished. With some slight touches of the paintbrush, Frenhofer transforms Porbus' painting such that Mary the Egyptian appears to come alive before their very eyes. Although Frenhofer has mastered his technique, he admits that he has been unable to find a suitable model for his own masterpiece, which depicts a beautiful courtesan called Catherine Lescault, known as La Belle noiseuse. He has been working on this future masterpiece, that no one has yet seen, for ten years. Poussin offers his own lover, Gillette, as a model. Gillette is so beautiful that Frenhofer is inspired to finish his project quickly. Poussin and Porbus come to admire the painting, but all they can see is part of a foot that has been lost in a swirl of colors. Their disappointment drives Frenhofer to madness, and he destroys the painting and dies that night.

Book excerpt: "Vers la fin de l'année 1612, par une froide matinée de décembre, un jeune homme dont le vêtement était de très mince apparence, se promenait devant la porte d'une maison située rue des Grands-Augustins, à Paris. Après avoir assez longtemps marché dans cette rue avec l'irrésolution d'un amant qui n'ose se présenter chez sa première maîtresse, quelque facile qu'elle soit, il finit par franchir le seuil de cette porte, et demanda si maître François Porbus était en son logis.""Le Chef d'œuvre inconnu" (1831) est un roman philosophique de Balzac, racontant l'histoire du jeune peintre Nicolas Poussin, encore inconnu. Celui-ci se rend chez l'artiste Porbus, accompagné du vieux maître Frenhofer. Ils admirent ensemble un de ses tableaux, Marie l'Egyptienne, mais il semble incomplet au vieil homme, qui le termine alors en quelques coups de pinceau. Frenhofer lui-même peine à terminer son propre tableau, La Belle Noiseuse, car il lui manque le modèle parfait. Poussin lui suggère alors d'engager la belle Gillette, la femme qu'il aime. Grâce à elle, Frenhofer finalise enfin son œuvre, mais quand il révèle enfin la toile aux deux hommes, tout change. -

Book excerpt: Au travers de cette nouvelle, infime dans l'œuvre immense de Balzac (1799-1850), c'est le mécanisme même de l'art qui pense sur lui-même qui est représenté. Frenhofer, peintre de génie, travaille depuis plus de dix ans à son grand œuvre, sa « Belle Noiseuse», pour finalement aboutir à un tableau quasi nul. C'est bien du drame de la création qu'il est question ici, de l'indéfectible doute qui habite tout créateur et balaye toute plénitude.

Book excerpt: La Comédie humaine - Études philosophiques - Tome I. Quatorzième volume de l'édition Furne 1842. Extrait : ― Montrer mon œuvre, s’écria le vieillard tout ému. Non, non, je dois la perfectionner encore. Hier, vers le soir, dit-il, j’ai cru avoir fini. Ses yeux me semblaient humides, sa chair était agitée. Les tresses de ses cheveux remuaient. Elle respirait ! Quoique j’aie trouvé le moyen de réaliser sur une toile plate le relief et la rondeur de la nature, ce matin, au jour, j’ai reconnu mon erreur. Ah ! pour arriver à ce résultat glorieux, j’ai étudié à fond les grands maîtres du coloris, j’ai analysé et soulevé couche par couche les tableaux de Titien, ce roi de la lumière, j’ai, comme ce peintre souverain, ébauché ma figure dans un ton clair avec une pâte souple et nourrie, car l’ombre n’est qu’un accident, retiens cela, petit. Puis je suis revenu sur mon œuvre, et au moyen de demi-teintes et de glacis dont je diminuais de plus en plus la transparence, j’ai rendu les ombres les plus vigoureuses et jusqu’aux noirs les plus fouillés ; car les ombres des peintres ordinaires sont d’une autre nature que leurs tons éclairés ; c’est du bois, de l’airain, c’est tout ce que vous voudrez, excepté de la chair dans l’ombre. On sent que si leur figure changeait de position, les places ombrées ne se nettoieraient pas et ne deviendraient pas lumineuses. J’ai évité ce défaut où beaucoup d’entre les plus illustres sont tombés, et chez moi la blancheur se révèle sous l’opacité de l’ombre la plus soutenue !

Book excerpt: Fiction. Short Story. Translated from the French by Anthony Rudolph. GILLETTE OR THE UNKNOWN MASTERIECE is one of Balzac's most brilliant and fascinating works, and one of the great short stories in European literature. It has been widely influential among painters and writers since its early editions, and speaks to our own days in unexpected ways. Anthony Rudolf has made the first complete translation into English in over eighty years. In a long accompanying essay he discusses the text as a love story, as a parable of writing told in terms of painting, and as a remarkable foreshadowing of certain later developments in art, such as the work of Giacometti. He also discusses the sexual, mythological, financial and other aspects of this extraordinary multi-layered text, and vigorously contests the widespread view that Frenhofer is nothing but a failure and his painting nothing but a disaster. This reprint marks Balzac's bicentenary and Menard's 30th birthday.

Book excerpt: "Le Chef-d'oeuvre inconnu" (English: "The Unknown Masterpiece") is a short story by Honoré de Balzac. It was first published in the newspaper L'Artiste with the title "Maître Frenhofer" (English: "Master Frenhofer") in August 1831. It appeared again later in the same year under the title "Catherine Lescault, conte fantastique". It was published in Balzac's Études philosophiques in 1837 and was integrated into La Comédie humaine in 1846. The work is separated into two chapters: "Gillette" and "Catherine Lescault". "Le Chef-d'oeuvre inconnu" is a reflection on art, and has had an important influence on modernist artists. Unlike most other stories in La Comédie humaine, this is set in the 17th century, in the year 1612. Of the three artists depicted in this story, Poussin and Porbus were real artists of the 17th century. Frenhofer is a purely fictional character. In the case of Porbus, Balzac used the gallicized version of the surname of Frans Pourbus. Paul Cézanne strongly identified with Frenhofer, once saying "Frenhofer, c'est moi" (I am Frenhofer). Critic Jon Kear argues that Cézanne's own attempts to paint the nude were heavily influenced by Balzac's portrayal of Frenhofer's work. In 1927, Ambroise Vollard asked Picasso to illustrate "Le Chef-d'oeuvre inconnu". Picasso was fascinated by the text and identified with Frenhofer so much that he moved to the rue des Grands-Augustins in Paris where Balzac located Porbus' studio. There he painted his own masterpiece, Guernica. Picasso lived here during World War II. Sidney Peterson's 1949 avant-garde film Mr Frenhofer and the Minotaur was based on the link between the short story and the work of Picasso. It draws on Picasso's Minotauromachy, bringing Picasso's work to life with the characters of Gillette, Poussin and Porbus participating. "Le Chef-d'oeuvre inconnu" inspired the film La Belle Noiseuse by Jacques Rivette (1991). (wikipedia.org)

Book excerpt: Texts about paintings, painters and sculptors are obvious test cases for issues of representation. A significant corpus of artist stories is scattered through Honore de Balzac's Commedie humaine which, from Marx to Lukacs to Roland Barthes's enormously influential S/Z (1970), has been a key literary work for critical debates around French realism. In a series of close readings, Diana Knight explores Barthes's 'model of painting' - the metaphorical code of painting and sculpture that underpins realist discourse - in the context of Balzac's fictional representations of the relation between artists, their models and their works of art. Whereas critics have tended to denounce Balzac's realist aesthetic as complicit with the misogyny of the society he portrays, Balzac and the Model of Painting takes the artist-model relationship, variously gendered in these stories, as the focus of the author's powerful realist critique of the sexual politics of prostitution and marriage in nineteenth-century France.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume focusses on a rarely discussed method of meaning production, namely via the absence, rather than presence, of signifiers. It does so from an interdisciplinary, transmedial perspective, which covers systematic, media-comparative and historical aspects, and reveals various forms and functions of missing signifiers across arts and media. The meaningful silences, blanks, lacunae, pauses, etc., treated by the ten contributors are taken from language and literature, film, comics, opera and instrumental music, architecture, and the visual arts. Contributors are: Nassim Balestrini, Walter Bernhart, Olga Fischer, Saskia Jaszoltowski, Henry Keazor, Peter Revers, Klaus Rieser, Daniel Stein, Anselm Wagner, Werner Wolf
