"Guys-Fascinating Men" by Gabrielle Thuller made me sit up from the title already. I opened the book and immediately allowed the most admired man of the last millennium. Shown is an image of Michelangelo's "David". Decades ago, I was sorry, that just this man is made of marble, but otherwise had the Fair not sure of his youth in Florence over the centuries to preserve. The author focuses on the basis of famous paintings, erotic men, those of the kisses, dances and seduces the gentleman of the old school, husband, father, the working man and famous men, etc.
Your image interpretations I have with great interest studied whether it is Albrecht Durer's "Self-portrait in a fur coat," Jacques-Louis David "Hector", which acts according to the author very masculine because of his muscles, which give the impression of virility and strength and Théodore Géricault's "Homme nu Renversé. The French writer Denis Diderot (1713-1784), said in view of a nude body painters represented, "If you paint, you have to paint everything Have mercy and let a gap that can fill my imagination?." He was right.
You learn a painting of a beautiful slender man of David Hockney and the back of a naked Man of Lucian Freud know. I especially like are the images and texts under the headings of "seduction and gallantry - with and without wine" and "Dance in the city and dance in the country." The paintings by Renoir interpreted Thuller excellent, just as the paintings of Klimt's about "happiness of love and yet so close to the abyss." With pleasure I read the interpretation of "Klimt" (Allegory of) love ":" Men and women do not notice what is going on around them. Zusehr they are engaged with each other. The man is thought quite intensively with the woman. He looks serious and concentrated on her lips, her eyes closed, in her countenance. Is he trying to read it? Or he will be their eternal love and fidelity insurance? "What's the perfect gift? Can give a man a woman perfect? Klimt documented in his paintings, that a man is able to do so. Klimt had to know, the ladies of his time did not love him for no reason.
successful are the interpretations of images shown bohemians and dandies. One reads, indulged that in times of Oscar Wilde, the beautiful, bizarre, extraordinary and contempt for all Low was. A painting by Boldini, "Robert de Montesquieu," and a portrait photo of Oscar game show, dressed like a dandy, and what disposition he put on the day.
Some time ago I have a DVD documentary Hogarth's works to be reviewed and praised notice that some of whose works Thuller interpreted quite outstanding.
Vermeer scholar, I love pictures and I am pleased that this will be discussed. The illustration "The Astronomer" and "The Geographer" are.
to Spitzweg "bookworm" I saw some paper read in a book published in 1967 and compared with that of Thuller. Thuller considerations are more in-depth. "One gets the impression that he (Spitzweg) have the bookworm painted with secret pleasure, a kind of revenge takes on the intellectual, the pompous, the top scorers of his time. The artist with an eye for bizarre situations here on enigmatic As the scientists a bead "(quote: page 99).. So I see it
It is impossible to bring about all the analysis here, something on paper. Gabrielle Thuller have succeeded in their book by the famous art gallery the art "man" to bring the reader closer. My favorite is declared Dürer. Before his "self-portrait in a fur coat," I stood in the Pinakothek in Munich have often very long and I smiled at it, hoping that Dürer smiles back and sometimes I think he has actually done for the moment :-))
A very good, very eloquent book, high quality with many painting images.
discussed this product is available in stores everywhere.
