Los Angeles's Getty Center holds 4 works by Gustave Courbet (1819–1877) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.
Courbet's Realism was a deliberate provocation — painting peasants and working people with the scale previously reserved for history painting. In person, his canvases have a physical solidity: the paint is thick, surfaces rough, colours earthy and dense.
