      By Clair, Jean, 1940-  Théberge, Pierre  Couëlle, Marcia  Galeries nationales du Grand Palais (France)  National Gallery of Canada
       2004., Yale University Press ; National Gallery of Canada Call No: 704.9 C585g    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: The circus is a dazzling world filled with acrobats and harlequins, tumblers and riders, monsters and celestial creatures. Now this engaging book sets that world in a new light, examining how painters, sculptors, and photographers from the eighteenth century to the present have used the circus as a springboard for their imaginative expression and have envisioned the clown as a metaphor for the modern artist. The book presents more than 175 works by such artists as Degas, Toulouse-Lautrec, Rouault, Picasso, Chagall, and Leger. Some of these are masterful works shown for the first time rangiing from the 18-meter stage curtain Picasso designed in 1917 for Erik Satie's ballet Parade to more intimate works such as Nadar and Tournachon's photographs of Pierrot as played by celebrated mime Charles Debureau.

      By Muhlstein, Anka  Hunter, Adriana
       [2017]., Adult, Other Press Call No: 843.709 M952p    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: "With the wit and penetration well known to readers of Balzac's Omelette and Monsieur Proust's Library, Anka Muhlstein revisits the delights of the French novel. This time she focuses on late 19th- and 20th-century writers - Balzac, Zola, Proust, Huysmans, and Maupassant - through the lens of their passionate involvement with the fine arts. She delves into the crucial role that painters play as characters in their novels, which she pairs with an exploration of the profound influence that painting exercised on the novelists' techniques, offering an intimate view of the intertwined worlds of painters and writers at the time. Muhlstein's deftly chosen vignettes bring to life a portrait of the nineteenth century's tight-knit artistic community, where Cezanne and Zola befriended each other as boys and Balzac yearned for the approval of Delacroix. She leads the reader on a journey of spontaneous discovery as she explores how a great painting can open a mind and spark creative fire"--Provided by publisher.

This book gives the history of the Women's Art Society of Montreal, season by season over its 125 years, as well as other local, national and world happening throughout its time period of 1894-2019.
