Hardback, no dj. 1951. First Edition. 406 pages + 19 Bibliography. 24 x 16 x 4.3 cm.
Biography and critical study of Courbet, the French painter renowned for his role in the realist movement. Mack's analysis dives into Courbet's life, his art, and his influence on the direction of modern painting. The 1951 edition is likely one of the first comprehensive English-language studies of Courbet, considering the timing and growing interest in 19th-century European artists in postwar art circles.
