Paperback. Condition: Very Good. THERE ARE NO TARIFFS OR CUSTOMS DUTIES ON BOOKS. The extremely scarce catalogue to the 2007 exhibition in Brest."The Painters of Dreams in Brittany: Nabis & Symbolists in the conquest of the Divine. Could Brittany have served as an inspiring framework for the impulses of symbolism, just as it had lent itself to the dreams of romanticism and the scrutiny of realists? Could the tendency to dream, which is readily attributed to the Celtic temperament, have found itself in particular harmony with the melancholy of those who, at the end of the 19th century, were called painters of the soul? If throughout the 19th century, many painters were able to translate Breton realities through their work, from the richness of costumes to peasant work and sea spray, including the religious manifestations of pious crowds, the beginning of the following century saw the birth of a generation of symbolist artists in search of spiritual mystery and poetic singularity" (google translation of review from Cloitre d'Art website). Artists featured include Maurice Denis, Emile Bernard, Odilon Redon and many others. French language text.
