1840 -1877 · Jura, sea, forest and territorial realism
Courbet treats the landscape as a physical encounter with terrain: waterfall, cliff, tree, snow and sea impose their material before any idea of picturesqueness.
The landscape represents a major part of Gustave Courbet's work. Born in Ornans, he constructed his gaze through contact with the limestone cliffs, rivers and forests of the Jura. In Paris, he refuses the hierarchy which subordinates the landscape to major historical subjects. A waterfall, a rock or a path can occupy an ambitious canvas by the sheer force of its material. Courbet works directly on the motif then resumes in the workshop. He uses a brush, cloth and knife to convey the thickness of the stone, the thrust of the water, the snow or the foliage. His landscapes with hunter, fisherman or deer do not always tell of a central action: the figure gives a scale to the site. In Normandy, cliffs and waves expand its repertoire to the sea; in Switzerland, exile gives the last landscapes a dimension of distance and memory. This general collection allows us to understand how the particular themes - source, stream, rock, forest and coastline - belong to the same realistic conception of the territory. The "Landscapes of Gustave Courbet" selection notably compares Rocky landscape with waterfall and Landscape in Ornans. Its reading favors details.
Courbet's landscape is not a neutral window: it advances through the dough, the slope and the water until it becomes a presence that shares the spectator's space.
