Chez Eugene Fromentin, la primaute de l'Orient se fait sentir dans tout son oeuvre peint et ses ecrits de voyage. Ne a la Rochelle, il avait des son enfance, formule un attachement aux grandes lignes fuyantes de l'horizon atlantique, perspective qui devait le preparer a affronter cette autre immensite qui lui semblait comme la mer, moins la couleur, c'est a dire le desert. Fromentin contemple le monde islamique avec une discretion absolue, rassemblant d'amples renseignements anthropologiques et linguistiques, sans forcement s'en servir dans son oeuvre. Sa maniere de voir se rattache aux lieux, aux ambiances, aux atmospheres, plutot qu'aux evenements dramatiques. /////// Since the first edition of this book, La Vie et l'oeuvre d'Eugene Fromentin, published in 1987 and awarded the Roger Bonniot Prize by the Academie de Saintonge in 1988, over sixty paintings and drawings by Eugene Fromentin have appeared on the market. To complete the Correspondance generale of this painter and writer, published in 1995, and his intellectual biography, Beaux-arts et Belles-lettres : la vie d'Eugene Fromentin, published in 2006, the authors, James Thompson and Barbara Wright, have produced a revised and enlarged version of their work. To accompany these new images, the text has been up-dated and some black and white illustrations have been replaced by color. Furthermore, James Thompson and Barbara Wright have added, as an Appendix, an illustrated catalogue of nearly all the drawings in the family collection, a collection which remained virtually intact from the death of Eugene Fromentin in 1876 until that of his great-grandson, Erik Dahl, in 1986. This catalogue bears testimony to a unique collection, before its dispersal. Since their authenticity is beyond question, the items in this catalogue constitute a valuable resource in the identification of future paintings which may surface on the market. This new edition will provide the basis for detailed genetical studies of the major Orientalist paintings by Fromentin, while illuminating his talents as a draughtsman..
