Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A female spirit haunts works of art from the ancient pyramids to modern sculpture. Catherine Lescault describes the effect of this inspirational being on artists and audiences.Based upon a mysterious painter's model championed by the mythical artist Frenhofer in Balzac's The Unknown Masterpiece, the novel's titular personality infuses creative power into the story's characters as they harness the spirit's energies for their own fame and fortune. And that raises a troubling question: Is Catherine Lescault a willing or unwilling tenant of their creations Balzac's novelette has profoundly affected artists from Cezanne and Picasso to those of modern times.

Some disciples may achieve the dream of allowing the ideal courtesan subject, Catherine Lescault herself, to breathe and live and love, while other artists' fixations lead into monomaniacal madness with unspeakably tragic consequences.Which interpretation will ultimately triumph: sculpture, paint, music, dance, acts on the stage, or words on the page 'Will keep even the most knowledgeable reader guessing and profoundly engaged, until the last startling pages.' -- Dr John Wallen, Faculty of Arts, Sharjah University, UAEIllustrations by Rocío De Juan Bayarri.…
