Title: ÉDOUARD VUILLARD : In the Louvre - Paintings for a Basel Villa /// Im Louvre - Bilder fur eine Basler villa.
Description: Hirmer Verlag (Thames), 2021 Paperback, 200 pages / seiten, ENG / GER, 285 x 215 x 20 mm, NEW / NEU, illustrations in colour / b/w. ISBN 9783777437590. ¶ In 1921/22 +douard Vuillard created a cycle of six paintings for the entrance hall of the Villa Bauer in Basel. Four large-format pictures show exhibition rooms in the Louvre from Antiquity to French Rococo painting. Two overdoors provide an intimate insight into the artistÆs art collection. The cycle of paintings is of outstanding quality as regards both content and form, but it to date has seldom been examined and exhibited. It was created immediately after the end of the First World War and the re-opening of the Louvre. VuillardÆs Louvre pictures are a humanist manifesto for the social importance and responsibility of museums as places that preserve the evidence of human creativity for future generations.
