Description
Abandoning a French look on the subject, Mrs. Bossan, the author, develops her study with a dichotomous vision: that of time that touches the history of mankind and that of geography and sociology, which lead to an almost ethnographic analysis. The author dissects the shoe and all that surrounds it: from its history to painting and literature. After this book, it will be difficult to publish a book with a more complete treatment of the subject. Illustrated...

At fifteen, Turner was already exhibiting View of Lambeth. He soon acquired the reputation of an immensely clever watercolourist.

In his works, Hopper poetically expressed the solitude of man confronted to the American way of life as it developed in the 1920's. Inspired by the movies and particularly by the various camera angles and attitudes of characters, his paintings expose the alienation of mass culture. Created using cold colors and inhabited by anonymous characters, Hopper's paintings also symbolically reflect the Great Depression. Through a series of different reproductions...

Picasso was born a Spaniard and, so they say, began to draw before he could speak. As an infant he was instinctively attracted to artist's tools. In early childhood he could spend hours in happy concentration drawing spirals with a sense and meaning known only to himself. At other times, shunning children's games, he traced his first pictures in the sand. This early self-expression held out promise of a rare gift. Málaga must be mentioned, for it...

Pablo Picasso (Málaga, 1881 – Mougins, 1973). Picasso naquit en Espagne et l'on dit même qu'il commença à dessiner avant de savoir parler. Enfant, il fut nstinctivement attiré par les instruments de l'artiste. Il pouvait passer des heures de joyeuse concentration à dessiner des spirales pourvues d'un sens qu'il était seul à connaître.

Picasso era español y por eso, según dicen, comenzó a dibujar antes que a hablar. Cuando niño, se sintió atraído de manera instintiva hacia las herramientas del artista. En sus primeros años pasaba horas en feliz concentración dibujando espirales con un sentido y un significado que sólo él conocía. Otras veces dejaba de lado sus juegos infantiles para trazar sus primeras imágenes en la arena. Tan temprana expresión artística encerraba...

Si la sensualité avait un nom, elle s'appellerait sans doute Utamaro. Soulignant avec délicatesse le jardin des plaisirs que fut un temps Édo, Utamaro, par la richesse des étoffes, les longs cous de cygnes féminins, les regards énigmatiques, évoque en quelques traits la volupté de tout l'Orient. Et si certaines scènes trahissent pudiquement les jeux amoureux, nombre de ses shungas sont univoques rappelant, dès lors, que l'amour au Japon...
