Robert Couturier, sculpteur, manifeste une justesse du geste et un sens de l'équilibre, hérités de ses origines paysannes. Sa passion pour le dessin, qui émerge de la réalité et du souvenir, le conduit à Paris à six ans. En 1920, il entre à l'école Estienne en lithographie, mais quitte rapidement pour des emplois artistiques qui l'orientent vers la sculpture. Sa rencontre avec Aristide Maillol en 1928, qu'il considère comme un père spirituel, marque un tournant dans son parcours. Couturier se distingue à l'exposition internationale des arts et techniques de 1937 avec des œuvres emblématiques comme Le Jardinier et des mannequins au pavillon de l'Élégance, signalant un tournant vers des motifs plus décharnés. Avec le Monument à Etienne Dolet en 1949, il s'affranchit des formes classiques et se positionne aux côtés d'Alberto Giacometti et Germaine Richier dans la nouvelle sculpture figurative. Dans les années cinquante, il évolue vers une sculpture transparente où le vide et la lumière deviennent essentiels, comme dans la Jeune Fille lamelliforme et les Nageuses. Son choix du plâtre, matériau léger, lui permet d'incorporer des objets trouvés. Fondateur du Salon de mai, Couturier expose à Venise, Sao Paulo et Anvers, et enseigne à l'École nationale Supérieure des arts décoratifs puis à l'École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts jusqu'en 1962.

Nella primavera del 2016, il Kunstforum di Vienna presenta per la prima volta in Austria una retrospettiva dedicata all'opera di Balthasar Klossowski de Rola, noto come Balthus. Nato nel 1908 a Parigi da genitori polacco-russi, Balthus trascorre un'infanzia tra Parigi, Berna, Berlino e Ginevra. La sua pittura, che rimane sempre legata alla concretezza, si sviluppa a partire dai maestri del Quattrocento italiano, attraverso il confronto con il surrealismo e la Nuova Oggettività. Questo progetto esplora i temi principali di Balthus: la strada e la città in contrasto con la natura pastorale, il ritratto classico e l'atto femminile, prevalentemente rappresentato da adolescenti. Un capitolo è dedicato ai suoi progetti teatrali, in particolare ai decori per il "Cosi fan tutte" di Mozart, creati nel 1950 per il festival di Aix en Provence. Si invita a esplorare l'aura misteriosa, arcaica e inquietante delle immagini di Balthus, che evocano la fantasia dell'infanzia e non mancano di una certa crudeltà.

Marc Chagall's magnificent stained-glass windows installed in the synagogue of the Hadassah-Hebrew Medical Center in Jerusalem are no doubt among the most inspiring and beautiful pieces of twentieth-century art."

Corot was the leading painter of the Barbizon school of France in the mid-nineteenth century. He is a pivotal figure in landscape painting. His work simultaneously references the Neo-Classical tradition and anticipates the plein-air innovations of Impressionism. Of him Claude Monet exclaimed "There is only one master here-Corot. We are nothing compared to him, nothing." His contributions to figure painting are hardly less important; Degas preferred his figures to his landscapes, and the classical figures of Picasso pay overt homage to Corot's influence. This book covers his most important and beautiful work.
