"Artists' Words" Collection. Bilingual French-English. Elisabeth Vigée Le Brun is one of the great portrait painters of her time, on a par with Quentin de La Tour or Jean-Baptiste Greuze. Coming from the lower middle class, she found her place among the great figures of the kingdom, particularly with the king and his family. She thus became the official painter of Queen Marie-Antoinette. Artist's Words is a pocket-sized collection to discover or rediscover the great masters of ancient, modern, and contemporary art. This series of monographic works allows you to explore the world of an artist through a selection of thirty reproductions representative of their entire body of work. Each reproduction is associated with a quote taken from an interview, correspondence, or writing by the artist himself. In order to make this collection accessible to the many foreign visitors to our French museums and public collections, Artist's Words is bilingual English-French.
