Art to Hear: Courbet. A Dream of Modern Art

Courbet. A Dream of Modern Art

Gustave Courbet (1819–1877) is the preeminent representative of Realism and the spearhead of a style of painting committed to socially relevant issues. His lifelike portraits defy the artistic convention of idealization. The painter had another side, however: in his portraits, landscapes, drawings, and still lifes, he depicted a contemplative, meditative, inward-looking world, which stood in stark contrast to the fast-paced industrialization of the period.


Edited by Max Hollein and Klaus Herding. With a foreword by Max Hollein and texts by Sylvain Amic, Bettina Erche, Paul Galvez, Michèle Haddad, Klaus Herding, Werner Hofmann, Florence Hudowicz, Ségolène Le Men, Stephanie Marchal, Linda Nochlin, Ulrich Pfarr, James Rubin, Margret Stuffmann, and Gilbert Titeux.
