These artists had spurned modernist abstraction and returned to a form of figurative painting. For most of them, this was the first time they had exhibited, but their impact was considerable. Art critic Waldemar- George baptized them the “Neo-Romantics” or the “Neo-Humanists.” They were influenced by Picasso, in particular his Blue and Rose periods, but went beyond him to forge new ways of painting. These artists liked to play with forgotten references and obsolete visual devices such as trompe l’oeil. They also produced work for secondary art forms, including the theater, set design, and ballet.In some ways, they were the first postmodernists in the history of art, yet only recently has their influence on the artists and thinkers of their time become clear. Though friends, these painters never formed a formal group or movement, and World War II sent them on different paths, with the Berman brothers and Tchelitchew moving to the United States. Before their departure, however, their activities attracted the attention and admiration of a cosmopolitan group of characters, including Gertrude Stein, Alfred Barr, Lincoln Kirstein, George Balanchine, and many others, such as leading fashion figures of the day Christian Dior and Elsa Schiaparelli. And their brooding, often nostalgic work, reproduced here in full color, has found a new and appreciative audience in today’s art scene.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56311779393909,"sku":"9780500094075","price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780500094075_5c2198d1-af85-47e3-9a1c-4da5fb492ce9.jpg?v=1786013776"},{"product_id":"9780500519813","title":"Chanel","description":"When Karl Lagerfeld was named at the helm of the fashion house in 1983, he set out to radically shake up and update its image – not only through bold collections but also, from 1987 onwards, by choosing to shoot the house’s campaigns himself, a move that was unprecedented for a fashion designer.

What does a collection tell us about the collector? It may reveal beauty and chaos, order and whimsy, art and purest fantasy: and taken together, the objects of a collection tell their own story, and perhaps hint at the interior life of its collector.     Patrick Mauriès has collected, and written about collectors and collecting, for more than forty years. Visitors who are accorded a rare glimpse of his homes in Paris or Nice find themselves entering another world, where imagination and compulsive curiosity have the upper hand. No object is without its own tale of invention and discovery; no artefact, whether handmade or crafted by an unseen force of nature, resembles any other. All have earned their place.     This is a memoir of a collector, or more accurately of a collection, in which the objects themselves prompt a stream of insight and recollections into worlds that Mauriès has inhabited for his whole life. Whether literary rarities from the Bloomsbury Group, enchanting caprices from artists of great renown or none, plaster or stone sculptures, found objects or curiosities of natural history, everything is drawn together in a touchingly beautiful account of this extraordinary collection from the pen of its master: a chronicle of an interior.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57680159834485,"sku":"9780500032671","price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}]}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/collections\/author-patrick-mauries.oembed","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
