Modern French Painters
Description:... "This encylopaedic work provides, in an exciting dramatic manner, the full history of French painting from the Salon des Refusés in 1863 to the present day. Dividing his canvas more or less into decades, Mr. Wilenski describes the rise and development of the artists against the whole wide background of the history of their time, tracing their lives, aims, influences, achievements and the technique of their individual craftsmanship, in sectionalized biography, and relating them and their art to the movement of contemporary events."--Listener.
