This beautifully illustrated exhibition catalogue traces the rise and transformatiopn of modern art in the 19th century, and the breakthrough of avant-garde abstraction in the 20th, through the perspective of French drawings. Exquisite finished drawings and working sketches - from Bonnard, Cézanne, Degas, Doré, Gauguin, Giacometti, Ingres, Maillol, Manet, Matisse, Modigliani, Picasso, Rodin, Vuillard, and dozens more - are presented here in 80 color plates and another 60 black and white photos. Most have never been shown outside of Denmark, and many are previously unpublished. The works are annotated in detail, placing them in the context of the artist’s oeuvre and his social and artistic influences, and in some cases even naming the models.

This is a very beautiful book about the work of Finland’s beloved artist, Albert Edelfelt (1854-1905). His superb portraits, and his paintings and drawings of people from all walks of life, are as full of life and charm today as they were 100 years ago. Many photographs of the artist, his family, and the subjects he painted enchance this book.
