Looking at the Landscapes: Courbet and Modernism
Papers from a Symposium Held at the J. Paul Getty Museum on March 18, 2006
With a Preface by Mary Morton

In this day-long symposium, a group of international experts and scholars of nineteenth-century art gathered to discuss Courbet's landscape oeuvre and debate his contribution to the history of modern painting, in conjunction with the exhibition Courbet and the Modern Landscape. The five papers presented here comprise the J. Paul Getty Museum's first online-only publication.

Courbet and the Modern Landscape
By Mary Morton and Charlotte Eyerman with an essay by Dominique de Font-Réaulx

While Courbet was known for his large scale, provocative figural works of the 1840s and 1850s, this book argues that his landscape paintings of the 1860s were even more influential for later avant-garde art.
