内容説明
The book explores Theodore Robinson's (1854-96) paintings that he produced while he was at Giverny, France in the late 1880s and early 1890s. Robinson was among a number of American painters who began to visit the small hamlet of Giverny on the Seine River where Claude Monet had settled in 1883. Working in this picturesque village from 1887 to 1892, Robinson adopted the master's vibrant palette and fresh brushwork. He also pursued Monet's rigorous practice of exploring subjects in series and, like his mentor, concentrated on recording aspects of the particular locale where he lived and worked. The book looks closely at American Impressionism through the lens of a single distinguished career and compares the American style to its French inspiration. It becomes apparent how Robinson's close contact with Monet transformed his work, which had been firmly rooted in the American Realist tradition. The book shows how Robinson absorbed and translated Monet's working method, style and subject matter, and demonstrates how Robinson conveyed Impressionism to America. His individual accomplishments and his artistic exchange with Monet are examined by juxtaposing the American's French works with

In Monet's Light - A Unique Insight
2005/9/8
形式:ハードカバー
Theodore Robinson moved to Evansville Wisconsin when he was 4, studied in Chicago, and visited both Evansville and Chicago for almost 40 years. As an auctioneer in Chicago, I had seen his works both for sale and at the Art Institute, and had read some of the existing bibliographical information.
While an artist's bibliography will always refer to the influences in the life, style and career, In Monet's Light is unique in the interlaced history of Robinson and Monet, as much a story about friends as about artists. Hundreds of artists tried to fall under Monet's acceptance, but Robinson became both a friend and found a mentor.
The quality of the images and their comparisons, the strength of the writing and the knowledge of those involved are of unusual strength. Historical photographs of the artists, landscapes and family members blend into a comparison of their works as Robinson developed his own style of Monet's technique and palette.
While specialists can produce definitive catalogs about the works of an artist, or write dealers can expound on the strength of a piece for sale, this book should have a special placing on a shelf for both institutions and people with an interest in this type of art.
