New award to Editions Cohen & Cohen who win for the second consecutive year the prize of the Cercle Montherlant – Académie des beaux-arts.
This year, it is Valérie Bajou who is rewarded for her book Courbet, la vie à tout prix. A tribute to the distance, the impertinence and the unexpected in the Master’s paintings.
Valérie Bajou, museum curator and 19th century specialist, retraces the life and career of the turbulent and provocative painter with a very special approach.
Let us underline the generosity of the patron Jean-Pierre Grivory (Parfums Salvador Dali) who supports this highly reputed prize of 10.000 €.
