| Summary | "Modern French Masters" by Marie Van Vorst is a collection of essays written in the early 20th century. The book provides an insightful exploration of influential French artists of the time, focusing on their artistic philosophies, techniques, and the impact they had on the art world. Notably, it showcases artists such as Puvis de Chavannes, Jean Charles Cazin, Rodin, and Paul Albert Besnard. The opening of this work presents a comprehensive preface by Alexander Harrison, which sets the tone for the following essays. It outlines the nature of art as deeply intertwined with love and passion, while introducing the themes of originality, genius, and individualism in artistic expression. Each discussed artist is portrayed in relation to their contributions to modern art, detailing their struggles for recognition and the evolution of their styles within the turbulent backdrop of their time. Thus, readers are engaged not only with the individual stories of these artists but with a broader reflection on the essence of artistic creation itself.
