edited by Anne Leonard

The Clark Art Institute, 2026.

156 pages, with 137 colour illustrations. Hardback. 27 x 20cms.  

A complication of the perceived dominance of Realism in mid-19th century France through a study of the period's enigmatic prints and photographs. Three essays introduce and contextualise the 'shadow visionaries', artists working in France who chose to represent imagination, dreams, and allegory; and discusss the particular potential of printmaking to convey the Gothic and the fantastical.
