Features: France is the hall of traditional painting, the source of modern art, and the vibrant center of Cubism. French painting and its "painting within painting—sketches" complement this romantic, unrestrained, and passionate national temperament. Western artists have called Rembrandt, Degas, Van Gogh, Picasso, and Matisse the five milestones after the Renaissance. The "New Selection of French Sketches" included in this book features two of these five milestones: Degas and Matisse.
