«Ritratti d'artista» is Susan Vreeland's collection of stories, published by Neri Pozza in paperback (318 pages, in Italian).
Susan Vreeland brings together stories about the anonymous people who surrounded Impressionist and Post-Impressionist painters such as Manet, Monet, Renoir, Van Gogh and Cézanne: lovers, servants, children and neighbors. It spans moments of French and Italian art from the 19th and 20th centuries and shows the artists' passions from a close, human perspective.
The original edition, «Life Studies: Stories», was published in 2004; this Italian edition is translated by Francesca Diano and is part of the series «I narratori delle tavole».
Suitable for readers of historical fiction, short stories and brief narrative; also for those interested in art history and the lives of painters.
Susan Joyce Vreeland was an American author. Several of her books deal with the relationship between art and fiction. The Passion of Artemisia is a fictionalized investigation of some aspects of the life of Artemisia Gentileschi, while Girl in Hyacinth Blue centers round an imaginary painting by Vermeer. The Forest Lover is a fictionalized account of the life of the Canadian painter Emily Carr.
