"Jules Bastien-Lepage and his art: a memoir" by André Theuriet is a memoir written in the late 19th century. This work explores the life and artistic journey of the painter Jules Bastien-Lepage, detailing his influences, struggles, and contributions to contemporary painting. The memoir captures the ethos of a new wave in art, focusing on realism and the beauty of ordinary life, making it an insightful read for those interested in art history or the development of realism. The opening of the memoir presents a vivid account of Bastien-Lepage's early life in the small town of Damvillers, where he was born in 1848. It describes the rural setting and the artist's upbringing in a modest farming household, highlighting his early inclination towards drawing and his father's encouragement to pursue this talent. The narrative follows Bastien-Lepage's path to Paris to study art and his determination to overcome the odds against him, including financial struggles and familial expectations. Throughout the opening, Theuriet introduces the reader to the contexts that shaped Bastien-Lepage's character and artistry, setting the stage for the exploration of his works and legacy.
