The diverse oeuvre of Gustave Doré-illustrations, paintings, sculpture-combines with biography and critical essays and attests to the artist's enduring impact on contemporary culture.
Philippe Kaenel is professor of Art History at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland.
"In the outstanding illustrated and scholarly volume published with the show, and available in French and English, Gustave Doré: Master of Imagination, curator Kaenel shows the immense role Doré played as a “preacher-painter” whose works came to have enormous popular effect as aids to devotion, putting him in the company of great Christian artists such as Michelangelo, Dürer, and Rembrandt." -National Review
