Description
Souvent considéré comme l'un des artistes majeurs du siècle d'or hollandais, au même titre que Frans Hals ou Rembrandt, Johannes Vermeer a fait l'objet d'un nombre considérable d'études et de publications. Celles-ci le réduisent généralement à deux images : celle du "Sphinx de Delft" , de l'artiste génial replié dans son superbe isolement, élaborée au XIXe siècle par le critique Théophile Thoré-Bürger ; ou celle du peintre moderne avant l'heure qui, selon Daniel Arasse, s'interroge sur les définitions et les limites théoriques de son art. En se fondant à la fois sur les travaux les plus récents menés sur Vermeer, sur un examen de ses pratiques et des théories artistiques formulées en son temps, mais aussi sur une confrontation systématique de sa production avec celles de ses contemporains, cet ouvrage propose de sortir de cette alternative. Il met l'accent, pour la première fois, sur la manière dont l'artiste a consciemment construit sa carrière autour de l'ambition, constante et même obsessionnelle, de fabriquer sa propre gloire.
