Rubin (art history, State U. of New York) portrays the ambitious and proud painter from rural Ornans who, rebuffed by the Parisian art world and attacked as a "realist," seized upon that name to assert his radical sympathy for ordinary citizens and their down-to-earth experience. Beautifully illustrated with color reproductions, the text addresses the full range of Courbet's work and combines a close reading of the paintings with a discussion of the personal, political, economic, and social circumstances in which they were created. Intended for the general reader. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or. Autorid: Xavier Bernard, James H Rubin, Laurent Strim
