Artissime: art at the heart of the novel
Art has been present in fiction since the 19th century: Honoré de Balzac, Maurice Leblanc, Oscar Wilde, Emile Zola.
In contemporary novels, we often find the character of the artist or the world of the arts: in Marie Darrieussecq, Michel Houellebecq or Haruki Murakami, for literature. Julian Schnabel, Christian Schwochow and Julie Taymor, for cinema.
Metlin Arditi, Tracy Chevalier and Orhan Pamuk take us back in time to the creation of masterpieces.
Thefts of paintings, stories of forgers and trafficking in works of art fill the pages of thrillers and detective stories.
We’ve selected stories from galleries and the art world in fiction, comics, films or CDs, thrillers or biopics, or simply let yourself be surprised by a cover.
Make way for beauty!
