Synopsis
In this highly original and innovative study of Nicolas Poussin, one of seventeenth-century Europe's greatest artists, Oskar Batschmann presents a series of connected studies that offer new ways of interpreting the work and ideas of this brilliant and complex figure. This superbly illustrated book is a polemical challenge in a field of art-historical research that has often lost its way in insoluble disputes and erudite details.
"Like Poussin's paintings, this is a highly polished work. In prose of great elegance, Batschmann achieves an almost perfect balance between exposition and polemic."&;Times Literary Supplement
"This is a tough but rewarding book, focusing not so much on the context of Poussin's book &; its extrinsic framework &; but intently on the work itself, and the attitude of Poussin to his subject-matter, from history painting to the holy family, and what Batschmann calls 'tragic landscape'."&;The Sunday Times

Countering the views of Poussin's work put forward over the years which represent his pictures as merely ideas (whether those of Poussin or his contemporaries) translated into art, the author instead sets out to consider Poussin's methods of working as a sequence of dialectical processes. In looking afresh at his drawings, models and paintings B?tschmann discerns a fundamental group of issues that relate to Poussin's use of light and shadow in drawing, colour and light in painting, his understanding of the meanings bequeathed by the past via its remembered actions or surviving artefacts and, through self-portraiture, the artist's self-conscious expressions of presence in absence. Following Poussin's own distinction between prospect and aspect, B? Seller Inventory # Batch-FM293-VG-7394
