Gustave Courbet (1819–1877) is considered to have introduced the practice of socially engaged painting, and he is viewed as one of the most important repre­sentatives of Realism. The direct and honest depic­tions of this artistic tendency—which ascribed to representing things as they are—challenged the ide­alized subject matter of academic painting and scan­dalized the Parisian society of the nineteenth century. Courbet became a leading figure of the rebellious ar­tistic bohème and cultivated a lively exchange with the predominant poets and artists of his era. Howev­er, he was not merely an anti-establishment provoca­teur; he significantly revolutionized landscape paint­ing. With seven essays this volume offers an introduc­tion to selected aspects of the artist’s life and work. His paintings will also inspire even those who may not be well versed in the world of art. Courbet’s in­credibly rich oeuvre and his exciting biography make him an artist worth discovering, again and again.

Über Autor(innen)

Courbet, Gustave
Gustave Courbet (1819–1877) gilt als Vorkämpfer der sozial engagierten Malerei, er ist der wichtigste Ver­treter des Realismus. Diese der schonungslosen Dar­stellung der Wahrheit verpflichtete Kunstrichtung stellte die von der Akademie geprägte, idealisierende Malerei infrage und schockierte die Pariser Gesell­schaft des 19. Jahrhunderts. Courbet wurde zu einer Leitfigur der aufrührerischen Künstlerboheme und pflegte regen Austausch mit tonangebenden Dich­tern und Künstlern. Er war aber keineswegs nur Bür­gerschreck, sondern vor allem ein großer Revolutio­när der Landschaftsmalerei.
