Constantin Guys. Forgotten "Painter of Modern Life"
Abstract
The article is devoted to the work of now forgotten French graphic artist of the second half of the 19th century Constantin Guys. For the first time in Russian art history the biography of the artist is reconstructed, and the main stages of his work are highlighted. The experience of long-term work as an artist-reporter of the newspaper “The Illustrated London News” allowed a self-taught artist Konstantin Guys to form a special, innovative artistic method, the main principles of which are outlined in the article. The influence of Constantin Guys’s work on his younger contemporaries - Edouard Manet and Edgar Degas is considered separately.
