George Moore: Confessions of a Young Man, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

George Augustus Moore (1852-1933) was an Irish novelist, short story writer, poet, art critic, memoirist and dramatist. He originally wanted to become a painter and studied art in Paris during the 1870s where he befriended many of the leading artists and writers of the day. This memoir of those early days was first published in French in 1886, then in English in 1888, and is reprinted from the edition of 1904, edited and annotated by the author. The book is notable for naming and eulogising the emerging French Impressionists, including Manet, Degas and Monet, for its literary criticism and for depictions of bohemian life in Paris in the 1870s and '80s.
