Excerpt from La Peinture Française Au Xixe Siècle, Vol. 1 Count de Caylus in i74s, later Winkelmann and Quatre mere de Quincy, were among those who brought back into fashion a taste for Antiquity and the grande maniere in pain ting inspired by neo-greek sculpture. David was both their collaborator and their executor. As a man he served the Revo lutian with the zeal of a partisan, as a painter he considered it his duty to the state to teach only such principles as glorify the antique virtues, the fruits of reason and which repudiate the fetes galantes of the Eighteenth Century. Thanks to David, for years Beauty. Was limited in its inspiration to Archaeology, Athens, Greece, and the aged Horatii. In the same way we find Ingres, about ib4o, a prisoner of the traditions of the institute, applying, in the name of Phidias and Raphael, prin ciples fully as pernicious when employed by feeble collaborators. Forthough the Institute had Ingres, it also had Picot, Hersent, Blondel, just as it later had Ge'rome, in other words a rigid organism which only allowed pupils to have a certain sense of Art, and where the recipes of a hand-book on painting would enable the student to make a career in his profession rather express his personality.

Cezanne and the End of Impressionism
Author: Richard Shiff
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 9780226753065
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 340
Book Description
Drawing on a broad foundation in the history of nineteenth-century French art, Richard Shiff offers an innovative interpretation of Cézanne's painting. He shows how Cézanne's style met the emerging criteria of a "technique of originality" and how it satisfied critics sympathetic to symbolism as well as to impressionism. Expanding his study of the interaction of Cézanne and his critics, Shiff considers the problem of modern art in general. He locates the core of modernism in a dialectic of making (technique) and finding (originality). Ultimately, Shiff provides not only clarifying accounts of impressionism and symbolism but of a modern classicism as well.

The Brush and the Pen
Author: Dario Gamboni
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226280551
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 426
Book Description
French symbolist artist Odilon Redon (1840–1916) seemed to thrive at the intersection of literature and art. Known as “the painter-writer,” he drew on the works of Poe, Baudelaire, Flaubert, and Mallarmé for his subject matter. And yet he concluded that visual art has nothing to do with literature. Examining this apparent contradiction, The Brush and the Pen transforms the way we understand Redon’s career and brings to life the interaction between writers and artists in fin-de-siècle Paris. Dario Gamboni tracks Redon’s evolution from collaboration with the writers of symbolism and decadence to a defense of the autonomy of the visual arts. He argues that Redon’s conversion was the symptom of a mounting crisis in the relationship between artists and writers, provoked at the turn of the century by the growing power of art criticism that foreshadowed the modernist separation of the arts into intractable fields. In addition to being a distinguished study of this provocative artist, The Brush and the Pen offers a critical reappraisal of the interaction of art, writing, criticism, and government institutions in late nineteenth-century France.
