Title: Encounters with great painters
Description: "In this unique series of colorful, double-page photoessays, combined with interviews, personal anecdotes, observations, and quotes all gathered from the popular French magazine Paris Match, we join acclaimed photographers David Douglas Duncan, Hubert de Segonzac, Walter Carone, Robert Doisneau, and writers Julien Green, Peter Beard, Eugene Ionesco, Jean Leymarie, and Pierre Joffroy, among others, as they capture the private moments and offbeat details that make up the mystery of an artist's life.

Above all, the texts and photographs here bring a new perspective to painters and paintings that have been transformed into cultural icons over the last century."--BOOK JACKET.
