Unknown Masterpiece : And, Gambara, Paperback by Balzac, Honore De; Danto, Arthur C. (INT); Howard, Richard (TRN), ISBN 0940322749, ISBN-13 9780940322745, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Balzac's two tragic short stories about a painter, a composer and the nature of creativity are both beautifully translated here by Howard, a poet and translator, and introduced by the art critic Arthur Danto. The experience of the artist portrayed in the The Unknown Masterpiece so influenced Picasso he moved into the house at the address Balzac had given his fictional character in Paris; these stories may thus be usefully connected to the milieu of modern art in 19th-century France.
