Venus Betrayed by Julia Frey

Venus Betrayed by Julia Frey

Featuring new insights and a wealth of superb images, Venus Betrayed explores Edouard Vuillards private world.

'Frey's biographical account offers a new and intimate look at Vuillard-an artist whose work is central to the history of modern artCentered on the private life that so characteristically defined Vuillard's painting, the book is engaging and personal, appealing to readers who are both new to and familiar with its subject.'-Britany Salsbury, Associate Curator of Prints and Drawings, The Cleveland Museum of Art, 'The title of Julia Frey's Venus Betrayed hints at the provocative reassessment of an artist best remembered for his small scenes of intimate domestic life, and as a bachelor who lived with his mother all her life. "Saint" Vuillard is now seen as much a sinner and indeed haunted individual. Densely illustrated with Vuillard's personal jottings and sketches to full blown paintings, this is a breakthrough in artist biography, offering bold and fascinating interpretations of recurring motifs, gestures and other symbols for Vuillard's ongoing passions and emotional conflicts, to bolster exciting new readings of the artist and the women in his life.'-Gloria Groom, Chair of European Painting and Sculpture, the Art Institute of Chicago
