Natural Interests
Author: Caroline FordPublisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 0674968891
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 175
Book Description
Challenging the conventional wisdom that French environmentalism can be dated only to the post-1945 period, Caroline Ford argues that a broadly shared environmental consciousness emerged in France much earlier. Natural Interests unearths the distinctive features of French environmentalism, in which a large and varied cast of social actors played a role. Besides scientific advances and colonial expansion, nostalgia for a vanishing pastoral countryside and anxiety over the pressing dangers of environmental degradation were important factors in the success of this movement. Over the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, war, political upheaval, and natural disasters—especially the devastating floods of 1856 and 1910 in Paris—caused growing worry over the damage wrought by deforestation, urbanization, and industrialization. The natural world took on new value for France’s urban bourgeoisie, as both a site of aesthetic longing and a destination for tourism. Not only naturalists and scientists but politicians, engineers, writers, and painters took up environmental causes. Imperialism and international dialogue were also instrumental in shaping environmental consciousness, as the unfamiliar climates of France’s overseas possessions changed perceptions of the natural world and influenced conservationist policies. By the early twentieth century, France had adopted innovative environmental legislation, created national and urban parks and nature reserves, and called for international cooperation on environmental questions.

Book Description
One of the most imaginative and fascinating artists of eighteenth-century France, Edme Bouchardon (1698-1762) was instrumental in the transition from Rococo to Neoclassicism and in the artistic rediscovery of classical antiquity. Much celebrated in his time, Bouchardon created some of the most iconic images of the age of Louis XV. His oeuvre demonstrates a remarkable variety of themes (from copies after the antique to subjects of history and mythology, portraiture, anatomical studies, ornament, fountains and tombs), media (drawings, sculptures, medals, prints), and techniques (chalk, plaster, wax, terracotta, marble, bronze). With five essays by experts on Bouchardon's sculpture and graphic arts, more than 140 catalogue entries, and a detailed chronology, this book aims to demonstrate the originality of Bouchardon's art within the cultural and social context of the period, while suggesting the subtle relationship between, as well as the relative autonomy of, the artist's two careers as a sculptor and a draftsman. This lavishly illustrated publication represents an unprecedented and thorough survey on this major and unique artist from the Age of Enlightenment, offering indepth scholarship based on unpublished material.

Extrait: L'art urbain est un mouvement artistique contemporain. Il regroupe toutes les formes d'art realise dans la rue, ou dans des endroits publics, et englobe diverses techniques telles que le graffiti, le pochoir, la mosaique, les stickers ou les installations. C'est principalement un art ephemere. Depuis quelque temps, on parle aussi de . Depuis son internationalisation (fortement facilitee par le developpement d'un reseau de communication audiovisuelle a l'echelle mondiale) au debut du siecle, l'art urbain, en tant que mouvement de l'art contemporain s'affirme dans une diversite de pratiques que l'on ne peut strictement separer, par certains aspect des arts de la rue comme le Madonnaro. Ainsi, ZEVS (alias: Zone d'Experience Visuelle et Sonore) execute regulierement des performances qui font echo a des disciplines comme le jonglage ou le happening. A ce titre, il pourrait etre qualifie d'artiste de la rue. De meme, une part de l' uvre de Banksy peut etre qualifiee d'art contextuel (selon la terminologie de Paul Ardenne) lorsqu'il vient, par exemple, exposer illegalement dans un musee. La propagande absurde de Shepard Fairey, OBEY the Giant, est un cas limite de zeitgest, presentee par son initiateur comme une experience de phenomenologie. Dans la lignee de Buren ou de Christo, le travail de JR (artiste) questionne la limite de la ville. L'art urbain doit se comprendre comme relation dialectique du street art et du land art (Pierre-Evariste Douaire). Le developpement de la scene...
