The first substantial publication on the self-taught French painters whose works tell an alternate story of modernism
By day, they were customs officers, gardeners or carnival wrestlers; by night, they were self-taught painters, working independently, who created their own fantastic worlds of imagery. Sometimes characterized as naïve or outsider artists, Henri Rousseau (18441910), Camille Bombois (18831970), André Bauchant (18731958), Louis Vivin (18611939) and Séraphine Louis (18641942) were dubbed the Painters of the Sacred Heart. They were first discovered by German art historian and gallerist Wilhelm Uhde, who in 1928 organized their first joint exhibition in Paris. Uhde had long been drawn to art unconstrained by formal training or the art canon, and championed the Sacred Heart painters warm, emotional depictions of flowers, fruit, people and landscapes, real and imaginary. This volume celebrates their magical and sensual creations.
