The story, which has served as an inspiration to artists as various as Cézanne, Henry James, Picasso, and New Wave director Jacques Rivette, is, in critic Dore Ashton's words, a \"fable of modern art.\"\n\nPublished here in a new translation by poet Richard Howard, \"The Unknown Masterpiece\" appears, as Balzac intended, with \"Gambara,\" a grotesque and tragic novella about a musician undone by his dreams.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0940322749\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0940322749.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Honoré de Balzac|Arthur C.
