Abstract

A partir de 1851, les grandes capitales vont vivre au rythme des expositions universelles, à la fois lieux de confrontation pacifique et internationale mêlant commerce industrie et beaux-arts, véritables laboratoires d'architectures et d'ornementations. Le Crystal Palace, construit par Joseph Paxton, devient un monument symbolique de la mise en œuvre du modernisme,. A l'occasion de la première Exposition Universelle à Paris en 1855, l'entreprise soulève l'ardent désir d'un bâtiment monumental conçu pour durer, le Palais de l'Industrie, situé en haut des Champs-Elysées. La riche collection de dessins d'architecture du musée d'Orsay et le Fonds Eiffel permettent d'illustrer l'imagination des architectes, la diversité des bâtiments et de ressuciter d'extraordinaires réalisations aujourd'hui disparues.

Abstract

The eighteenth century was an age when not only the aristocracy but a burgeoning middle class could enjoy a remarkable flowering of the arts. But it was a man's world, any woman who wished to succeed as an artist had to overcome numerous obstacles. In a society in which women were required to marry, reproduce, and conform to rigid social conventions a professional artist risked becoming an object of gossip and hostility. Nevertheless, for a woman who had charm and good looks, was ambitious, and allied talent with hard work, success was attainable. This book examines the careers and working lives of celebrated artists like Angelica Kauffman and Elisabeth Vigée Le Brun but also of those who are now forgotten. As well as assessing the work itself, from history and genre painting to portraits, it considers artists' studios, the functioning of the print market, how art was sold, the role of patrons and the flourishing world of the lady amateur. It is enriched by up to 55 illustrations in glorious colour.

Abstract

A revelatory examination of Roger Fry's fascinating but relatively little-known writings on his first love, Italian art. Drawing on articles, lectures and a wealth of new documentary materials letters, diaries and notebooks it shows how fresh and readable his writings are, and how pioneering his approach remains. Roger Fry (1866-1934) is best known as a champion of Post-Impressionism and a pioneer of Modernist art criticism. But his first love was early Italian painting, on which he became a recognized authority, publishing a monograph on Giovanni Bellini in 1899. Even after the Post-Impressionist exhibitions in 1910 and 1912 and the foundation of the Omega Workshops, Fry continued to write and lecture on Italian art right up until his death. He looked at modernism through Quattrocento eyes rather than the other way around, as is often wrongly assumed. It is impossible not to be struck by how fresh and immediately readable his writings are, how pioneering in some ways his approach remains. His work on Italian art modifies the received view of him as a pure formalist. Apart from a famous article on Giotto which Fry republished in 'Vision and Design' (1920), the writings on Italian art are relatively little known, and a selection of the best of them is republished here, thus introducing an important aspect of Fry's many-sided work to a new audience.
