Michael Peppiatt is an art historian, curator and writer, who graduated from Cambridge University in 1964, and joined ''The Observer'' as a junior art critic. He then went to Paris to take up an editorial job at ''Réalités'' magazine, where he remained until 1969, when he was appointed arts editor at Le Monde. In the mid-1970s he began reporting on cultural events across Europe for ''The New York Times'' and ''The Financial Times'', becoming Paris correspondent for several art magazines, notably ''Art News'' and ''Art International''. In 1985, Peppiatt became owner and editor of ''Art International'', which he relaunched from Paris, devoting special issues to the artists he most admired. In 1994, Peppiatt returned to London with his wife, the art historian Jill Lloyd, and their two children, where he wrote the biography of Francis Bacon (1909–1992), whose close friend and commentator he had been for thirty years. Chosen as a ‘Book of the Year’ by ''The New York Times'' and translated into several languages, the biography is considered the definitive account of Bacon’s life and work. Peppiatt has curated numerous exhibitions worldwide, notably travelling retrospectives of the School of London, Francis Bacon, Alberto Giacometti, Christian Schad and Antoni Tàpies. In 2009, Peppiatt curated an exhibition of sculpture by Dado for the Venice Biennale, a Maillol retrospective for Barcelona, and a Caravaggio-Bacon exhibit for the Galleria Borghese in Rome. In 2005, Peppiatt was awarded a Ph.D by the University of Cambridge for his publications on 20th-century art. He is a member of the Society of Authors and the Royal Society of Literature, and since 2010 he has been on the board of the Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Rome. In 2012, Peppiatt published ''Interviews with Artists'', a book of more than forty interviews with personalities ranging from Jean Dubuffet, Balthus, and Oscar Niemeyer to Brassai, Henri Cartier-Bresson, and Antoni Tàpies. An exhibition on this theme was shown at Eykyn Maclean in London. More recently Peppiatt curated a Miró exhibition that travelled from the Bucerius Kunst Forum in Hamburg to the Kunstsammlung, Düsseldorf, in 2014-15. Peppiatt's latest memoir, 'Francis Bacon in Your Blood' was published by Bloomsbury in August 2015. ==Bibliography== *1964: ''Modern Art in Britain'' *1976: ''Francis Bacon: l’art de l’impossible'' (trans. with Michel Leiris) *1983: ''Imagination’s Chamber: Artists and their Studios'' (with Alice Bellony Rewald) *1987: ''The School of London'' *1997: ''Francis Bacon: Anatomy of an Enigma'' *2000: ''Zoran Music'' *2001: ''Alberto Giacometti in Post-War Paris'' *2002: ''Aristide Maillol'' *2003: ''Christian Schad and the Neue Sachlichkeit'' (ed. with Jill Lloyd) *2003: ''Dans l’atelier de Giacometti'' *2003: ''Vincent van Gogh'' *2004: ''Francis Bacon: le sacré et le profane'' *2006: ''L’amitié Leiris-Bacon: Une étrange fascination'' *2006: ''Francis Bacon in the 1950s'' *2006: ''Les dilemmes de Jean Dubuffet'' *2007: ''Van Gogh and Expressionism'' (ed. with Jill Lloyd) *2008 ''Francis Bacon in the 1950s'' *2008: ''Francis Bacon: Studies for a Portrait'' *2008: ''Francis Bacon: Anatomy of an Enigma'' (revised edition) *2009: ''Caravaggio/Bacon'' *2010: ''In Giacometti's Studio'' *2010: ''Alberto Giacometti: An Intimate Portrait'' *2012: ''Interviews with Artists (1966-2012)'' *2013: ''Giacometti and Sartre: A Double Portrait'' *2014: ''Art Plural: Voices of Contemporary Art'' *2014: ''Henri Cartier-Bresson'' *2014: ''Joan Miró: A Painter among Poets'' *2015: ''Francis Bacon In Your Blood: A Memoir'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Michael Peppiatt」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
