Opis

This study is an examination of Charles Baudelaire's (1821-67) art criticism and its relationship with his creative writing. It is the first book in English to treat in one volume the diverse aspects of the subject: the principal aesthetic ideas, the importance of the painters Delacroix, Boudin, Meryon, Guys, and Manet, Baudelaire's essays on laughter and caricature, and other critical writings.
