This time she focuses on late 19th- and 20th-century writers--Balzac, Zola, Proust, Huysmans, and Maupassant--through the lens of their passionate involvement with the fine arts. She delves into the crucial role that painters play as characters in their novels, which she pairs with an exploration of the profound influence that painting exercised on the novelists' techniques, offering an intimate view of the intertwined worlds of painters and writers at the time. Muhlstein's deftly chosen vignettes bring to life a portrait of the nineteenth century's tight-knit artistic community, where Cezanne and Zola befriended each other as boys and Balzac yearned for the approval of Delacroix. She leads the reader on a journey of spontaneous discovery as she explores how a great painting can open a mind and spark creative fire"--Provided by publisher.French fiction19th centuryHistory and criticismFrench fiction20th centuryHistory and criticismArts in literatureArt in literatureArtists in literaturePainters in literatureBIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / LiterarybisacshART / History / Modern (late 19th Century to 1945)bisacshBIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Artists, Architects, PhotographersbisacshFrench fictionHistory and criticism.French fictionHistory and criticism.Arts in literature.Art in literature.Artists in literature.Painters in literature.BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Literary.ART / History / Modern (late 19th Century to 1945).BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Artists, Architects, Photographers.843.709357BIO007000ART015100BIO001000bisacshMuhlstein Anka133703Hunter Adriana1079691MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910162666403321The Pen and the Brush2592371UNINA
