French Art 8 Gauguin’s “Nirvana” Painters at Le Pouldu, 1889–90 Edited by Eric Zafran Seeking to create in a “primitive” setting, Gauguin spent the two years before his first Tahitian journey in a remote Breton fishing village. Accompanied by Dutch painter Meyer de Haan and several others, Gauguin produced remarkable works while in Le Pouldu, including “Nirvana,” a symbolist portrait of de Haan. This noteworthy book examines Gauguin’s richly varied work during this period as well as the impact of his association with de Haan.

Cloth ISBN 08399-8 $60.00 The Art of Parmigianino David Franklin With an essay by David Ekserdjian New The sheer beauty of the work of sixteenth-century artist Parmigianino (1503–40) makes it easy to imagine that he discovered his style without any effort. But nothing so elegant as his drawings and paintings could have been achieved effortlessly. A close study of the artist’s work, particularly his drawings, reveals the sources of his style and the creative struggles he endured. This lavishly illustrated book offers a comprehensive reassessment of Parmigianino’s work as a draftsman, discussing in detail more than eighty of the artist’s works on paper selected from collections around the world. Among Renaissance artists, Parmigianino was perhaps more conscious than any of the potential of the graphic arts to convey, and indeed broadcast, complex ideas. He explored this potential by means of his numerous drawings and through the etchings he produced on his own as well as through the engravings and chiaroscuros that were made after his designs. In these media, the artist’s influence traveled farther and wider than it could have through his paintings alone. Published in association with the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa 2004 256 pp. 86 b/w + 130 color illus. Cloth ISBN 10357-3 $60.00 Raphael, Dürer, and Marcantonio Raimondi New Copying and the Italian Renaissance Print Lisa Pon In early sixteenth-century Italy, works of art came to be understood as unique objects made by individuals of genius, giving rise to a new sense of the artist as the author of his images. At the same time, the practice of engraving, a medium that produced multiple printed images via collaborative processes, rapidly developed. In this book, Lisa Pon examines how images passed between artists and considers how printing techniques affected the authorship of images. Pon focuses on the encounters between the engraver Marcantonio Raimondi and three key artists: Albrecht Dürer, Raphael, and Giorgio Vasari. She reevaluates their work in light of the tensions between possessive authorship and practical collaboration in the visual arts. 2004 216 pp. 58 b/w + 37 color illus.
