Reseña del editor
The Italian-Swiss painter Giovanni Segantini (1858-1899) was once hailed as an innovator, prophet, and revolutionary, and in one obituary, a critic called him a "Seccession in his own right." Yet Segantini has been largely Forgotten outside of a few specialists, and his presence in art history, especially in America, has diminished considerably. This book seeks to rectify the situation, and presents a monograph of his work -- which shares with van Gogh, Cezanne, and the Impressionists, a temperament that prefigures the aesthetics of modernism. This publication brings together Segantini's oeuvre, including works from the Segantini Museum in St. Moritz, and Features his early genre paintings, influenced by Realism, as well as his symbolic depictions of Nature in a Divisionist style, and his Famous triptych Werden-Sein-Vergehen.
