Summary "Propos de peintre, deuxième série: Dates" by Jacques-Émile Blanche is a collection of artistic reflections and critiques written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the world of painting and notable artists, offering insights into their styles and significance, while also engaging with contemporary artistic movements through the lens of the author's personal experiences and memories. At the start of the work, Blanche sets the stage with a dedication to Marcel Proust, indicating a strong interrelationship between their works. The opening portion consists of a conversational preface where Blanche reflects on the nuances of art critique and his views on various artists, including Jean-Louis Forain. He emphasizes the duality of being both a painter and a critic, highlighting his admiration for the complexities of art and the artists behind it. Blanche intertwines personal anecdotes with critical observations, pointing out how the contemporary perception of artists can shift over time, as he considers the legacy of figures like Degas and Manet in contrast to their lesser-known contemporaries.
