About Book

Le pont des arts

Catherine Morris, the only cartoonist member of the French Academy of Fine Arts, has published her most popular humanities work - Art.
Catherine Morris uses a lighthearted and humorous approach to weave the rise and fall of schools in art history through the amusing anecdotes of the interactions between painters and writers. Can't tell a masterpiece from trash? Let Baudelaire teach you! Haven't seen seafood in paintings? Diderot will take the risk and show you! Are you tired of Impressionism? Zola will lend you a discerning eye.
Drawing on her profound scholarship and unconventional style, Katrin Morris guides readers through a humorous art gallery where painters and writers connect, gossip is fully explored, and the aloof art criticism and literary history become more intimate than ever, bringing all images and literature to life.
