About the book >.>.> The long and illustrious career of ?douard Vuillard spans the fin-de-si?cle and the first four decades of the twentieth century during which time the French painter printmaker and photog- rapher created an extraordinary body of work. This is the first volume to explore Vuillard’s rich and varied career in its totality presenting nearly 350 works that demonstrate the full range of his subject matter and reveal both the public and pri- vate sides of this quintessentially Parisian artist. In a series of gloriously illustrated essays and catalogue entries the authors explore Vuillard’s complex and diverse artistic development begin- ning with his academic training in Paris in the late 1880s and the innovative Nabi paintings of the 1890s for which he is best known including his provocative disquieting middle-class interiors and his work associated with the avant-garde theatre. The authors also examine Vuillard’s splen- did but lesser known large-scale decorations his luminous landscapes and the elegant portraits from the last decades of his career. In addition to paintings the volume includes a substantial selec- tion of drawings and graphics together with a large group of striking photographs by the artist many of which are published here for the first time. This beautifully illustrated catalogue accompanies the most comprehensive exhibition ever devoted to the work of Edouard Vuillard (1868-1940). The exlubizzon opens at the National Gallery of Art in Washington and travels in the Montreal Maneum of Fine Arts the Galeries nationales du Grand Palam in Parts and the Royal Academy of Am. (OS)
