Excerpt from Henri Rivière: Peintre Et Imagier
Si original, si décou Vreur, si trouveur je m'excuse du néologisme que soit un artiste, il n'en est pas moins évi dent que forcément il procède d'un passé, il provient de quelque part, il continue une fi liation. Lit ceci ne di minue en aucune ma niere son originalité, ni son talent, car procéd'r ne Veut pas dire copier, mais bien être de la même famille; ce qui n'estpas du tout la même genainville. Eau - forte. Chose. Un philosophe a dit ce mot très juste que la Nature se dépasse sans cesse en s'enve loppant. Il en est de même pour l'art; et 'a côté de l'armée immense des copistes, des déformateurs qui ne sont que des impuissants, la petite et sainte phalange des puissants, sans cesse reprenant origi nalement les thèmes anciens, les transforme et les agrandit.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the life and work of artist Henri Riviere, a contemporary of the Nabis and Symbolist artistic groups. The author argues that Riviere's innovative and deeply personal approach to painting and printmaking was a return to the great traditions of art and that he should be recognized as a major figure of his time. Specifically, the book examines the motivations, experiences, and subjects that influenced Riviere's unique style, and the ways in which his work synthesized and transcended the major artistic movements of late 19th-century France.
