Title: The unknown masterpiece, a short story by Balzac Author: Honoré De Balzac Narrator: Katie Haigh Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 12 minutes Release date: April 1, 2022 Genres: Classics Publisher's Summary: The unknown masterpiece, or 'Le chef-d'oeuvre inconnu', is a story by French author Honoré de Balzac. This short text was of tremendous importance in the world of art, for it holds a groundbreaking reflection about artistic creation: what does completion or failure mean, and how is it that technique does not guarantee either. Paul Cézanne famously said 'I am Frenhofer', identifying with the old master around which the story revolves. Pablo Picasso himself was absolutely fascinated by the text, so much that he had his studio moved in the Parisian street named in the story; there, he painted his own masterpiece, Guernica.
