Published to accompany the first major French exhibition devoted to Giovanni Segantini (1858–1899), this richly illustrated catalog examines the artist’s life, work, and enduring legacy through a selection of his most celebrated paintings.
Recognized as one of the leading figures of Symbolism and European Divisionism, Segantini transformed the landscapes of the Swiss Engadine into luminous, emotionally charged compositions that unite close observation of nature with profound spiritual meaning. The catalog traces the artist’s remarkable career through a carefully selected group of masterpieces, highlighting his distinctive painting technique, poetic vision, and lasting influence on European art at the end of the nineteenth century.
Produced in collaboration with the Musée Marmottan Monet, the publication also explores Segantini’s unrealized ambitions for the 1900 Paris Exposition Universelle and reassesses his artistic legacy more than a century after his death. A special twelve-page companion booklet creates a dialogue between Segantini’s work and a contemporary selection by Anselm Kiefer, demonstrating the continuing relevance of his vision for modern artists.
Featuring 150 illustrations and essays by leading Segantini specialists, Giovanni Segantini 1858–1899 is an essential reference for collectors, scholars, and readers interested in Symbolism, Divisionism, nineteenth-century European art, and Alpine landscape painting.
