Douglas Cooper Libros

This volume presents the life and works of French artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864-1901), whose immersion in the colorful and theatrical life of 19th century Paris yielded a trove of exciting, elegant and provocative images of the modern and sometimes decadent life of those times. The author has included introductory texts written by art historians that provide background into the artist, and their analysis is accompanied by sketches, related works by other artists, and black-and-white photographs. This book features 40 full-page, full-color plates with commentaries on the facing page. Toulouse-Lautrec's paintings and prints focused on the theater, dance halls, cafés, and even brothels of late-19th-century Paris. Brimming with emotion and atmosphere, his works were characterized by a distinctive and masterly handling of line. This volume illuminates the unique place Toulouse-Lautrec came to occupy in French art during his short lifetime of 37 years

This book as first published to accompany a major exhibition curated by the author at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, in 1970. Douglas Cooper had himself known well the principal protagonists in the Cubist Movement, owned works by them and written extensively on the subject. The exhibition was mounted when many of the artists, dealers, writers and collectors who created and furthered the development of Cubism were still alive to act as primary documentary sources. It brought together from the collections of Europe and America Cubist paintings, sculptures, drawings and prints to present for the first time a vivid compendium of Cubism as an historic and aesthetic achievement which transformed the visual world of the 20th century. This re-issue of the book not only presents a record of an epoch-making show, but provides an authoritative, informative and lively introduction to all aspects of Cubist art by its foremost historian
