Death takes everyone without discrimination. Sometimes it is accidental - like Signorelli, who fell from scaffolding. Sometimes it is expected, as with the diabetic Cezanne, who wrote "I am old, sick, and I swore to die while painting". But often, researching a painter's death is an easier task than determining which of their works is truly their 'last'. Paintings tend to be dated by year and not month, inciting much debate among art historians. This book embraces this ambiguity, studying 100 examples of works that lay completed for several years, or were left unfinished on the easel, or were finished post-mortem by a friend's grieving hand. 'The Last Painting' collects 100 terminal paintings from 100 artists, including Dali, Manet, Toulouse-Lautrec, Degas, Goya, Pollock, Rembrandt, Dix, Bonnard, Titien, and many more. Each picture gives us a glimpse into the painter's mind. Did they know death was coming? Did they paint with denial, or acceptance? Did they return to a favourite subject, or decide to embark on a new, original project while they still had time? A poetic and thought-provoking book, 'The Last Painting' is a sensitive exploration of the relationship between art and death. 546 $a Translated from the French. 650 0 $a Painters $x History. $x History. 650 0 $a Painters $v Biography. 650 0 $a Painting $x History. 650 0 $a Unfinished works of art. 650 0 $a Painting $x Appreciation. 650 0 $a Symbolism in art. 650 0 $a Painting, European. 650 7 $a Painters. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01050530 650 7 $a Painting. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01050567 650 7 $a Painting $x Appreciation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01050568 650 7 $a Painting, European. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01050808 650 7 $a Symbolism in art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01140771 650 7 $a Unfinished works of art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01161280 655 7 $a Biography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423686 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021015408.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=51BB640E462211E9A3F20F6897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
