About this product
Product Information
The Bargue-Gerome Drawing Course is a complete reprint of a famous, late nineteenth-century drawing course. It contains a set of almost two hundred masterful lithographs of subjects for copying by drawing students before they attempt drawing from life or nature. Consequently it is a book that will interest artists, art students, art historians, and lovers and collectors of drawings. It also introduces us to the work and life of a hitherto neglected master: Charles Bargue. The Drawing Course consists of three sections. The first consists of plates drawn after casts, usually of antique examples. Different parts of the body are studied in order of difficulty, until full figures are presented. The second section pays homage to the western school of painting, with lithographs after exemplary drawings by Renaissance and modern masters. The third part contains almost 60 academies, or drawings after nude male models, all original inventions by Bargue, the lithographer. With great care, the student is introduced to continually more difficult problems in the close observing and recording of nature. Charles Bargue started his career as a lithographer of drawings by hack artists for a popular market in comic, sentimental and soft-porn subjects. By working with Gerome, and in preparing the plates for the course, Bargue was transformed into a spectacular painter of single figures and intimate scenes; a master of precious details that always remain observation and never became self-conscious virtuosity, and colour schemes that unified his composition in exquisite tonal harmonies. The last part of the book is a biography of Bargue, along with a preliminary catalogue of his paintings, accompanied by reproductions of all that have been found and of many of those lost. AUTHORS: A renowned specialist in nineteenth-century academic art, Gerald Ackerman (1928-2016) was the author of several books including The Life and Work of Jean-Leon Gerome, The Orientalists of the British School and The Orientalists of the American School. Graydon Parrish is a renowned figurative painter, famous in the United States for his allegory Remorse, Despondence, and Acceptance of An Early Death, at the Mead Art Museum, Amherst College, Massachusetts. SELLING POINTS: . Two hundred lithographs that comprised a famous late nineteenth-century drawing course . Introduces the work of a hitherto neglected master: Charles Bargue .

- r***8 (195)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseMy experience was positive re the seller, but negative towards the tracking service which claimed it had been delivered on 17 December. That was to the Danish Postal Service and it arrived in my hands earlier this afternoon. The information was so misleading that I received 2 reminders from ebay about not leaving feedback. The item was as described and well packaged. I will now get the chance to read the story about yet another character in the Blaydon Races song and my home town.Charles John Gibb MD - The real Dr Gibb of the 'Blaydon Races': (#176645798283)
