Published for the first time as a stand-alone volume and newly translated, this edition, part of the David Zwirner Books ekphrasis series, aims to introduce a wider audience to one of Proust's most important and influential works in Western literature .
Marcel Proust (1871-1922) was a French writer, critic, and essayist. He is best known for his novel À la recherche du temps perdu (In Search of Lost Time), which was published in seven volumes between 1913 and 1927, and is considered one of the most important literary works of the twentieth century.
"The Top Ten Art Books of 2016. . .One gleans in the youthful text how Proust began his perceptual education, translating from art into prose the 'brilliant, compelling language' of Chardin and the 'gleam and frisson' of Rembrandt."--Rachel Corbett "Vulture"
