Although I have not the exhibition "Gustav Doré (1832-1883): Master of the imagination" is currently seen in the National Museum in Canada, I can say that the beautiful and rich catalog of information and open journal, which I had not expected.

Dore was a popular cartoonist, while still a teenager, then made a name for himself as a brilliant photographers of his time, a person, in my opinion, it was not fair. No one else has created a lot of iconic images and shape how we imagine other places and wonderful objects. It is testament to his talent that his illustrations of Don Quixote (1863), the Bible (1866), and RIM Ancient Mariner (1876), and others are still on paper. But Dore wants to be taken seriously as an artist, and his ego to accept nothing less. He participated in the painting and sculpture, with great enthusiasm and with limited success.

In "Cinema and the work of Gold" section is a pleasant surprise. While I wish it were more, it could have been so easy to insist on the legacy of the filmmakers a golden one or two paragraphs. Further details of the few, the effect League would help at Walt Disney, and mentioned several times throughout the book, but do not mention any specific cases. King Kong (1933) for the right to a decent, because it comes with with a hint of gold-esque courtesy of the special effects of Willis O'Brien Master filled (and is not in the book and artist Byron Crabbe and Mario Larrinaga, mentioned the artistic production and glass plates for the life of green forests and rugged mountains on the island of the skull).

He announced even wider than the Disney references in all parts of the body work of Ray Harryhausen-Dore influenced debatable, but generally true. Terry Gilliam was explicitly expressed his admiration for the Golden and his determination, "I regularly alive." Now that the change in Gilliam's Don Quixote is back in business, you may be able to achieve in that intent as well. The effects of gold on the art of fiction and comedy largely ignores the exception of an interview with comics contemporary French Maestro Philippe Druillet, complete with examples.

Dora- Pantagruel

League scored a great job a short article of your own, be considered in detail. Assessment Baldine Saint Girons gold paint "a lake in Scotland after a storm" (1875-1878), useful for us to remember that the work of art made not only to understand, but to inspire and move us. It's amazing how many catalogs galleries forget this basic experience of art.

Editor Philip Kaenel brought a variety of experts from Western Europe and North America, and Russia, to cover all aspects of life and enough gold to fill his personal life story. There are many grants for scientists to dig through, but it does not have the language of the dry or heavy. Art reproduction is very good, and it's always important when used with an artist, the cut-off so much Doree. Can have some more examples of the work of other artists to context (illustrations by Edward Manet Poe "The Raven", for example) provide added, but it is a nice little apartment.

Nice Lorenzo Papace Vincent and Pianina with paper cut animation and introduced a promotional video for the show, it became clear in the Museum d'Orsay in Paris:

"Gustave Dore (1832-1883): Master of the imagination". From the National Gallery of Canada and the Museum d'Orsay, Paris, organizes and runs until September 14, National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa and the book. Published by Flammarion in cooperation with museums.
