«Le Peintre de la vie moderne» is Charles Baudelaire's art criticism essay published by 1001 NUITS in paperback (112 pages, in French).
In this art criticism essay, Baudelaire defines modernity as the transient, changing half of art, as opposed to the eternal, immutable half. He examines elegance, makeup and urban life, formulates a theory of the dandy, and presents the draughtsman Constantin Guys as an example of the artist who captures the beauty of his time.
Work originally published in 1863; this paperback edition, in French, dates from 2010.
French-language edition for readers interested in art criticism, aesthetics and nineteenth-century French literature.
Charles-Pierre Baudelaire was a French poet, essayist, translator and art critic. His poems are described as exhibiting mastery of rhythm and rhyme, containing an exoticism inherited from the Romantics, and are based on observations of real life.
