This first major survey of Le Brun's work includes commissioned paintings, prints, sculpture, and drawings, together with documentary images of studio interiors and notebooks in facsimile. It combines the classic monograph with an artist's perspective to produce a new hybrid, and a unique insight into the creative process.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAn introduction by Charles Saumarez Smith, director of the National Portrait Gallery, an essay by Norbert Lynton, art historian and critic, and a dialogue with Bryan Robertson, former director of the Whitechapel Gallery, set Le Brun's work in context.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003ePLEASE NOTE: This book is a NON-MINT item.
