| book description |

A groundbreaking insight into Gustave Courbet and his bold experiments in landscape painting Â Between 1862 and 1866 Gustave Courbet embarked on a series of sensuous landscape paintings that would later inspire the likes of Monet, Pissarro, and CÃ©zanne. This series has long been neglected in favor of Courbetâ€™s paintings of rural French life. Courbetâ€™s Landscapes: The Origins of Modern Painting explores these astonishing paintings, staking a claim for their importance to Courbetâ€™s work and later developments in French modernism. Â Ranging from the grottoes of Courbetâ€™s native Franche-ComtÃ© to the beaches of Normandy, Paul Galvez follows the artist on his travels as he uses a palette-knife to transform the Romantic landscape of voyage into a direct, visceral confrontation with the material world. The Courbet he discovers is not the celebrated history painter of provincial life, but a committed landscapist whose view of nature aligns him with contemporary developments in geology, history, linguistics, and literature.
