Description: Paris: Somogy, Coédition Conseil Général du Gers, conservation départementale du patrimoine et des musées, Abbaye de Flaran, 2014. 22cm., hardcover, 72pp., 58 color plates. French-English text. Summary: Over a period of forty years, Michael Simonow has built up a collection of masterpieces by some of the world’s greatest artists, including Rubens, Renoir and Monet. He was so taken with the beauty of the Cistercian abbey of Flaran in the Gers region that he then chose to entrust his prestigious, and still-growing, collection to the Gers General Council. After books on portraits and landscapes, this third selection illustrates the animals and other illusions in the collection, through more than thirty works that give an overview of the great European artistic movements from the sixteenth to the twenty-first century. Guys’ ride through Hyde Park, a Troyon cow, Valadon’s dog, Picasso’s centaur. These little-known works by major artists are wonderful finds in the heart of one of the great sites of the Midi-Pyrénées region.
