		Jean Desire Gustave Courbet was born on 10 June 1819 in Ornans, a small town in the Jura region of eastern France.
		Courbet had embarked on this huge painting in the summer of 1849, with virtually everyone in the district clamoring to be included.
		Courbet was surprisingly philosophical about this, writing to a friend that his art was keeping him busy and that in any case a married man was a reactionary.

		Courbet, a farmer's son, was born June 10, 1819, in Ornans.
		By then Courbet's distinctive painting style was fully developed, marked by technical mastery, a bold and limited palette, compositional simplicity, strong and even harshly modeled figures (as in his nudes), and heavy impasto—thick layers of paint—often applied with a palette knife (particularly evident in his landscape and marine paintings).
		As radical in politics as he was in painting, Courbet was placed in charge of all art museums under the revolutionary 1871 Commune of Paris and saved the city's collections from looting mobs.

	Culture Shock: Flashpoints: Visual Arts: Gustave Courbet's A Burial at Ornans
		Painter Gustave Courbet is relatively unknown in 1851 when the government-sponsored art exhibition, the Paris Salon, presents his 20-foot-long masterwork, A Burial at Ornans.
		With the worker uprisings of 1848 a recent memory, Courbet's use of the common people as a grand subject is deemed a radical act -- "the engine of revolution," as one critic says.
		Furthermore, in his push towards a realistic style, Courbet has intentionally painted his fl-clad folk in a manner that does not idealize their suffering.

	Gustave Courbet
		There's something direct and even savage (if by that we mean unconventional) in the way Courbet attacks the canvas: in the way he sponges or scrapes the paint, juxtaposes areas that are more or less realistically handled, and frames or arranges figures and objects in unexpected ways.
		Courbet's grasp of composition is more episodic and eccentric; his finest paintings have an effect of strangeness and surprise that's probably irreconcilable with the idea of the wall-sized masterpiece.
		Courbet responds as completely to the frozen loneliness of an animal foraging in winter - in The Snowy Landscape with Boar (1866-67) - as he does to the little fishing boats at the Cliffs of Etretat, just after a storm.

		COURBET, GUSTAVE (1819-1877), French painter, was born at Ornans (Doubs) on the 10th of June 1819.
		Though Courbet's realistic work is not devoid of importance, it is as a landscape and sea painter that he will be most honoured by posterity.
		To escape the necessity of working to the end of his days at the orders of the State in order to pay this sum, Courbet went to Switzerland in 1873, and died at La Tour du Peilz, on the 31st of December 1877, of a disease of the liver aggravated by intemperance.

		On the evidence of their correspondence and Courbet's later work, he and Bruyas had different ambitions for the picture.
		The tribute implicit in both portraits can be traced to Bruyas' purchase of Courbet's huge canvas "The Bathers" (1853), also on view, a picture loudly denigrated when it hung in the Salon of 1853.
		Courbet did little to mitigate the impression that the painting combines work done in the landscape and in the studio.

	French Painting from the Musee Fabre \| The Meeting or Good Day, Monsieur Courbet
		One of Gustave Courbet’s most significant canvases, Good Day, Monsieur Courbet depicts a chance meeting of the painter, his patron Alfred Bruyas and Bruyas’s servant Calas, on a road outside Montpellier.
		The painting thus marks in the most compelling way the ambition of the collector, keen to insert his own name, taste and generosity into the history of painting.
		Note the way in which only Courbet stands on the earth; neither the deferential Bruyas nor Calas cast a shadow, as if only the painter, as labourer, is of this earth.

		Courbet's Realism is clearly a major contribution to the highly active field of Courbet studies.
		But to contribute here and now is necessarily also to contribute to central debates about art history itself, and so the book is also--I hesitate to say 'more importantly,' because of the way object and method are woven together in it--a major contribution to current attempts to rethink the foundations and objects of art history.
