Abstract

"Portraiture and Friendship in Enlightenment France' examines how new and often contradictory ideas about friendship were enacted in the lives of artists in the eighteenth century. It demonstrates that portraits resulted from, and generated, new ideas about friendship by analyzing the creation, exchange, and display of portraits alongside discussions of friendship in philosophical and academic discourse, exhibition criticism, personal diaries, and correspondence. This study provides a deeper understanding of how artists took advantage of changing conceptions of social relationships and used portraiture to make visible new ideas about friendship that were driven by Enlightenment thought"--Publisher's description

Abstract

Révélant l'influence vitale de l'artiste française Marie Laurencin, de son langage visuel et de son expression sexuelle sur le modernisme du Paris du XXe siècle, ce livre propose une réévaluation attendue depuis longtemps de la carrière de l'artiste. Marie Laurencin (1883-1956), née à Paris, a évolué avec aisance entre l'avant-garde cubiste et les cercles littéraires et artistiques lesbiens, ainsi que dans les domaines de la mode, du ballet et des arts décoratifs. Des essais critiques explorent ses premières expériences avec le cubisme, son exil en Espagne pendant la Première Guerre mondiale, ses projets de collaboration avec des figures majeures de son époque telles qu'André Mare, Serge Diaghilev, Francis Poulenc et André Groult, ainsi que son rôle dans l'émergence d'une "modernité saphique" à Paris dans les années 1920. Avec plus de 60 planches en couleur, la vie et la carrière de Laurencin sont documentées par une chronologie illustrée et un historique des expositions, ainsi que par une annexe décrivant son réseau de mécènes et d'associées.

Abstract

"This book, like the exhibition it accompanies, looks at the special pictorial and thematic characteristics of Cezanne's portraiture practice, including his creation of complementary pairs and multiple versions of the same subject. The chronological development of the artist's portraiture is also explored, with an examination of the changes that occurred with respect to his style and method, on the one hand, and his understanding of resemblance and identity, on the other . The extent to which particular sitters inflected the characteristics and development of his practice is also considered. Cezanne Portraits features works that mutually inform each other to reveal arguably the most personal, and therefore most human, aspect of his art, and one that has hitherto received surprisingly little attention. They range from Cezanne's earliest surviving self - portraits, dating from the 1860s, through to his final portraits of Vallier, the gardener at his house near Aix-en-Provence, made shortly before the artist's death in 1906. Exhibition curator John Elderfield contributes an illuminating introductory essay on Cezanne's portraiture, while the artist's biographer, the late Alex Danchev, provides an informative dramatis personae on the sitters featured. The catalogue texts are by John Elderfield, Mary Morton and Xavier Rey, and a chronology by Jayne Warman sets the artist's work in the context of his life."--Provided by publisher.
