Musee d'Orsay
 |
Description
Book Introduction
A series introducing famous art museums and exhibitions around the world with abundant illustrations.
The Musée d'Orsay is known to have been built by François Mitterrand on December 9, 1986, but it is actually a building with a long history rooted in the cultural and artistic background of Paris in the early 19th century.
The interior of the museum, designed by Gae Aulenti, displays a diverse range of works, from those of academic painters to those of creative painters who could not withstand the norms of traditional painting.
It consists of works covering France and parts of Europe in the late 19th century, arranged chronologically, and provides an overview of the major trends in aesthetics and artistic styles.
In particular, you can see the most popular Impressionist paintings, the vibrant colors of Claude Monet and Auguste Renoir, ballerinas painted by Degas, the vivid brushstrokes of Caillebotte, and pastels by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.
It also introduces works by Vincent van Gogh, Paul Cézanne, Paul Gauguin, and the early Fauvists, who were the beginnings of modern art, with full-page illustrations, enlarged versions that allow you to feel the brushstrokes, and even three-dimensional analysis of the parts.

is the work that best demonstrates Manet's talent as a painter.
The model's distinct personality, comfortable pose, brazen and arrogant gaze, the nakedness of her body that was not at all idealized, and the accessories that were popular at the time made the viewer feel as if the situation in the work was happening at that time.
'Olympia' was the most common stage name used by prostitutes, and the image of a black cat at the woman's feet made the work unforgivable to the public and critics.

Georges Riviere praised Degas's keen observation, saying, "After seeing these pastels, you will never need to go to the opera," and captured the realistic scenes on stage in an instant.
Degas quickly captures a moment of the performance with concise brushstrokes, capturing the dynamic ballet and the fantastic atmosphere of the performance on a small canvas.
The ballerina's white tutu, as light as vapor, and her pure white skin contrast with the yellow and red flowers in her hair and clothes, and the dark ribbon she wears around her neck.

Publisher's Review
A book about an art museum told by a friendly docent
World Art Museum Tour Series
The series falls into the same category as existing art museum guides in that it travels to the world's leading art museums.
However, this series excludes personal impressions or travelogues, focusing on introducing one piece of art on each page and its explanation, allowing readers to enter the exhibition hall of the museum right away.
However, this does not mean that I am giving a professional or stiff explanation like a critic.
It tells simple yet essential stories about the painting, the artist's life, the style of the time, and his relationships with other artists.
But more important than the text is the actual work.
Each volume of the series contains images of works from the museum's collection, with a level of importance that rivals that of an illustrated guide.
In other words, this is an art museum in one volume.
The person who is walking around the art museum with me while I am looking at this book is, so to speak, a 'docent'.
A storyteller who is well versed in the art museum and its artwork.
He leads me to a masterpiece that catches my eye and lets me admire it, then begins to calmly share valuable information that will help me understand and remember the painting.
A docent is a person who provides theoretical knowledge to visitors at an exhibition hall to help them appreciate artwork.
It provides detailed explanations of the exhibited works and helps visitors understand the exhibition.
