Monet, Narcissus, and Self-Reflection: The Modernist Myth of the Self Hardcover - 1995 - 1st Edition

by Steven Z. Levine


From the publisher

Steven Z. Levine provides a new understanding of the life and work of Claude Monet and the myth of the modern artist. Levine analyzes the extensive critical reception of Monet and the artist's own prolific writings in the context of the story of Narcissus, popular in late nineteenth-century France. Through a careful blending of psychoanalytical theory and historical study, Levine identifies narcissism and obsession as driving forces in Monet's art and demonstrates how we derive meaning from the accumulated verbal responses to an artist's work.

First line

IN HIS REVIEW of the Salon of 1859 Charles Baudelaire insists that the photographic reflection of nature will bring about the suicide of art.
