Hatje Cantz Renoir (German edition): Rococo Revival
Like hardly any other artist, Pierre-Auguste Renoir has shaped our understanding of the atmospheric figure paintings of Impressionism. His painting La fin du déjeuner, which has been in the Städel Museum in Frankfurt since 1910, is now the starting point for a far-reaching examination of an important source of inspiration that accompanied him throughout his life: the Rococo. Considered frivolous and immoral after the French Revolution, this style of painting experienced a renaissance in the 19th century and was widely celebrated during Renoir’s lifetime. Published on the occasion of the Städel Museum’s major exhibition, this comprehensive volume explores Renoir’s multifaceted connection to tradition through illuminating juxtapositions of his art with 18th-century works and contemporaries.

Ridinghouse Reconstructing Cezanne: Sequence and Process in Paul Cezanne’s Works on Paper
Published in association with Luxembourg + Co. on the occasion of their 2019 exhibition Reconstructing Cezanne, this catalogue features in-depth analyses of Cezanne’s works on paper by Fabienne Ruppen, based on DNA examination of the papers he used for his watercolours and drawings, as well as extensive commentary on new horizons in Cezanne scholarship by expert Walter Feilchenfeldt, co-author of the artist’s online catalogue raisonné. At the core of this exploration are two watercolours that Cezanne produced from a large sheet of paper, which he divided into two sections for the purpose of capturing different landscapes: the Courtauld Gallery’s renowned La Montagne Sainte-Victoire, from 1885–87, and a Paysage Provençal in private ownership. Reconstructing Cezanne reunites these two works for the first time. This publication follows the decision of the Société Paul Cezanne and the family of the artist to spell the artist’s name without an acute accent.
