Synopsis
Many Impressionist paintings of modern life and leisure include images of household pets. Their appealing presence lends charm to such works while alluding to middle-class prosperity and the growing importance of animals as family members. In many cases, such domestic denizens significantly complement representations of their owners. In certain others, the devotion of individual artists to their pets symbolically enhances their expressions of artistic identity. This book focuses on the role of pets in Impressionist pictures and what this reveals about the art, artists, and society of that era. friends in the company of their pets, including several paintings by Courbet (who was fond of dogs) and Manet (a notorious lover of cats). He points out that in some works by Degas, dogs contribute to the artist's commentary on psychological and social relationships, and that in paintings by Renoir, dogs and cats have playful and erotic overtones. He also offers a theory to explain why Monet almost never painted pets. Drawing on early pet handbooks and treatises on animal intelligence, Rubin explores 19th-century opinions on cats and dogs and compares handbook illustrations with the animals shown in Impressionist works. He also provides information on pet ownership and on the place of Impressionism in the long history of animal painting.

- i***e (489)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseIf only all sellers were like this one, whom I cannot commend enough. Everything about this transaction was perfect. I placed an offer and was met very quickly with a counter which I accepted. I messaged and was replied to also very quickly. My book was shipped the same day and I have to say that it was packed with the care and love that all purchases should be but unfortunately this doesn’t happen very often on eBay. Thank you very very much ..Spectacular seller!! A+++++++++++++++
- t***u (74)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseItem was packaged well. The cost of shipping was great (thank you)! Seller was negotiable with price of item. The item was not as "perfect" as it appeared in the eBay picture. (I did not confirm that the item pictured was the actual item I would receive.) It cleaned up and the grand kids are enjoying it. Over all, a good transaction and I would purchase from this seller again.
