Best.-Nr. 30171<meta charset="utf-8">De Balzac à Houellebecq - en passant par Poe, Flaubert, Zola, Proust, Aragon, Claude Simon et bien d'autres... - beaucoup d'écrivains se sont plus à inventer des personnages de peintres ou à décrire avec minutie des tableaux de leur invention. A quoi peuvent ressembler ces peintures imaginaires ? Telle estla grave question que se pose ce livre, en s'amusant à les reconstituer avec les outils de la peinture et de l'informatique. Et en s'interrogeant sur les relations que ces écrivains entretenaient avec la peinture. Etaient-ils peintres eux-mêmes, critiques d'art ou collectionneurs ? Couraient-ils les musées, les galeries d'art et les expositions ? Fréquentaient-ils les artistes de leur temps? Quelle peinture aimaient-ils ? Et quelles influences ces productions font-elles apparaître de la peinture sur leur écriture ? Frédéric Gaussen, ancien journaliste au Monde, est l'auteur des plusieurs livres sur la peinture : Paris des peintres, Visites d'ateliers, Le peintre et son atelier, Guide des peintres à Paris . Philippe Mouchès, est artiste peintre et membre de l'Oupeinpo (Ouvroir de peinture potentielle, créé en relation avec l'Oulipo) . Il est l'auteur, avec Olivier Salon, de Histoire de l'art et d'en rire et de Carambolages et avec Paul Fournel de Le Lagarde et Panard Paris, 2023 Gaussen 144 p., nombreuses illustrations et photographies, broché. 18,5 x 24

Moucheron étant un pseudonyme cachant Alphonse, Toussaint, Josephe, André, Marie MARSEILLE, comte Fortia de Piles (1758 - 1826). Grimod de La Reynière étant repris dans les statuts comme secrétaire de cette société et dont Louis-Sébastien Mercier était le Garde des Sceaux. L'auteur est le seul témoin occulaire à faire une description authentique des fameux repas "semi-nutritifs" organisés par Grimod de La Reynière. Livre très important pour la connaissance de la "gastronomie" du début du XIXe siècle en France. Bien complet du frontispice gravé par Mariage, qui est souvent absent. cette gravure représente un repas où huit gourmets sont attablés. Un des convives n'est autre que Grimod de La Reynière, que l'on peut reconnaître par la perruque "ancien régime" qu'il porta même après la Révolution ! Très RARE. Cet exemplaire est dans son "jus" de l'époque. Non rogné avec bords salis mais heureusement avec de grandes marges. Papier en bon état avec quekques traces d'anciennes mouillures; frontispice en très bon état, bien complet de la signature manuscrit de l'éditeur.
