Shadows of a Hand
The Drawings of Victor Hugo
Publisher's Comments
As poet, novelist, dramatist, journalist, critic, political activist, and leader of the Romantic movement in France, Hugo (1802-1885) loomed large over literature and cultural life in France for the major part of the 19th century. This volume, published in association with a 1998 exhibition at the Drawing Center in New York, showcases Hugo's strikingly modern-looking drawings a body of work heretofore little known by the art-loving public, although acclaimed within specialist circles. Three extended essays discuss his work; the catalogue identifies techniques and themes and offers interpretation of each work. Distributed by the U. of Washington Press. 10x11.5 Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
