Putting Monet and Rembrandt into words : Pierre Loti's recreation and theorization of Claude Monet's impressionism and Rembrandt's landscapes in literature / by Richard M. Berrong. - 1 online resource (197 pages) - North Carolina studies in the Romance languages and literatures ; number 301 . - North Carolina studies in the Romance languages and literatures ; no. 301. .
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Introduction : OK, "Loti was the great Impressionist," but what does that mean? -- Recreating Monet's Impressionism in literature : Iceland fisherman -- Loti's response to Zola on Impressionism : Madame Chrysanthemum -- Painting effectively in literature : The story of a child and the travel narratives -- The anti-establishment, natural artist : Rembrandt and Ramuntcho.
"Examining certain of Loti's important novels, this study shows how he managed to reproduce with words what Monet was doing in oils. It also shows how the author came to theorize about the effects of Impressionism on the reader-viewer. Finally, it demonstrates how and why, in one of his last novels, Loti undertook to reproduce the style of one of the painters most admired by Monet: Rembrandt van Rijn, whom the nineteenth-century French rediscovered in part because they could present his sketchy biography as a demonstration of many of the things liberal art historians and painters believed the ideal artist should be."--Publisher's Web site
