Discover *L’illusion de la réalité* (The Illusion of Reality), the essential exhibition catalog on naturalist painting, photography, theater, and film between 1875 and 1918, by Gabriel P. Weisberg, Edwin Becker, Maartje De Haan, David Jackson, and Willa Silverman, published by Fonds Mercator (223 pages in French, 2010, ISBN 9789061539407, very good condition). This book analyzes how naturalist artists captured the upheavals of the industrialized world by depicting the lives of ordinary people, the social realities of poverty and labor, and the cultural transition from agrarian society to workers’ demands.
Through a multidisciplinary approach, the book explores the aesthetic connections between large-scale realist paintings (Bastien-Lepage, Anshutz, Pelez), photographic prints, theatrical productions influenced by Zola, and early films that borrowed the visual codes of painting. It offers a fresh and inspiring interpretation of the naturalist aesthetic that profoundly shaped modern art.
Perfect for art history, visual culture and fin de siècle enthusiasts.
