TO SEE
|
"Bertrand Renaudineau and Gérard Emmanuel da Silva's films made with the help of Maxime Préaud, honorary general curator of Prints and Drawings Department at the BNF.
Each film is structured around an essential print by a past master, such as Le Chevalier, la Mort et le Diable (The Knight, Death and the Devil) for Dürer or Le Sommeil de la raison engendre des monstres (the Sleep of Reason produces monsters) for Goya, whose smallest details, often imperceptible to the naked eye, are revealed by the camera. Providing originality in its approach to the collection, each film features a contemporary engraver whose work maintains an intimate connection with the past master.
Eight films, from Dürer to Toulouse-Lautrec, have already been made to date, showing and analyzing the different techniques of printmaking, from etching to lithography, including burin, aquatint and drypoint. The first seven ones have been brought together in a box set, extract from the presentation of the "Impressions fortes" Collection. To find out more and discover the collection : Gallix Production

This link also allows a direct way to place an order, via the tab "access to the store".

"An outstanding figure in the art market" by the turn of the century, Ambroise Vollard (1866-1939) stood out by his audacity, which made him support for Cézanne, Gauguin and Rouault, as well as the young Picasso' sucess.
Overbearing and enigmatic character, he also has a passion for publishing prints and illustrated books, deploying a lot of his energy and means to tirelessly solicit creators and collectors.
|
At the, end of the war Henri Marie Petiet (1894-1980), also as a publisher, bought the Vollard gallery print collection, which he never ceased to promote. This book highlights the key role that these two merchants played in modern prints diffusion and in luxury publishing, where the book evolves into a full-fledged work of art.
