Description & Specifications

Before publishing his sensual and scandalous poems of Les Fleurs du Mal, Charles Baudelaire (1821-67) had already gained respect as a direct and intelligent critic of art and literature. This provocative selection of criticism reveals Baudelaire as a lover of beauty, shedding light on his belief that the pursuit of this ideal must be paramount in artistic expression. Exhibition reviews discuss works by great painters such as Delacroix and Ingres in fascinating detail, while in 'Of Virtuous Plays and Novels' Baudelaire is presented as a vengeful angel defending true art. Writing about Poe, Flaubert, and Gautier, he expresses a deep understanding of fellow artists, while his unique foray into music criticism, 'Richard Wagner and Tannhäuser in Paris', presents an astute insight into the magical power of suggestion in music.
