Assouline –  La Campagne De Corot  (1996)

Assouline –  La Campagne De Corot  (1996) French edition - Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot can be called a traditional Romantic, but he was also a vital force in the development of Impressionism. A painter of Claudesque landscapes, he was also a precursor of Cubism.  Corot was totally devoted to art and his paintings glow with a deep reverence for nature, a sensitivity so compelling that younger artists sought him as a teacher. He preferred 'plein air' painting, with its fixation on light and the momentary effects of nature. Corot's exquisite paintings of women are executed in crisp harmonies and are infused with the rare classical calm that pervades many of his landscapes.
