When the exhibition that sparked the publication of this book opened in the artist's home-town of Montpellier towards the end of 2010, it was hailed as the "rebirth of a 19th Century master" and the rediscovery of a great painter. Amazingly, this volume is the first comprehensive retrospective of the life and works of the artist.
