Description

Chronological View of Selected Works from his four periods of painting. 20 twenty full-color images included (five samples from each period). An excerpt from the book: ...He kept his soul for his work, and for it alone. One phrase constantly recurred in his speech: he would not have them "get their grappling-irons on him." He would show an unfinished canvas only to those who had gained his confidence, he was afraid "they would steal his tricks." He was religious but afraid of the Jesuits. A torturing susceptibility kept him always in a state of defense, even in his relations with those who had the right to believe themselves his friends. His physical sensitiveness was such that he could not bear to have anyone help him in walking, in rising or in dressing himself. No one, no one should ever "get the grappling-iron on him."** He had drawn in to the center of his being all the sensitive nerves that for fifty-years had touched the world in its various aspects -to store up in him his fund of religiosity and emotion. Devoured by anxiety, he had yet the consciousness of being a great force unemployed. How could he have been understood? How could anyone have believed that this man, afraid of mankind, hiding himself from women, had enough virility to make the future fertile? No one around him was worthy to divine the inner drama with which his spirit was torn,-he had that insatiable desire of the artist to find encouragement in every mouth, admiration in every look, silent companionship in every life; he was condemned by the very loftiness of his aim never to make a concession in order to obtain those things. No one understood why he still occasionally had the weakness to send to "the Salon of M. Bouguereau" and to suffer each time he was refused, and to get white with pain and run away when people would smile, and tell him he was wrong to persist. No one understood, one evening, when he got up from table during a conversation about painting that he had taken no part in, and said in a cry of anger: "You know well that there is only one painter in the world, myself." No one perceived that he suffered in being the only one to know-he who doubted all, amidst people sure of all-that he was a great artist. For it is not enough to be right, to be certain of triumphing one day, to believe in the glory that will come when one is no longer there to taste the consolation of glory. Can they not feel, all those people, that artists love, and that they need to be loved?
