From Ancient Egypt to the Arab Spring, iconoclasm has occured throughout history and across cultures. Both a vehicle for protest and a means of imagining change, it was a rife during the tumultuous years of the French Revolution, and in this richly illustrated book Richard Clay examines how politically diverse groups used such attacks to play out their own complex power struggles. Drawing on extensive archival evidence to uncover a variety of iconoclastic acts - from the beheading or defacing of sculptures, to the smashing of busts, slashing of paintings and toppling of statues - Clay explores the turbulent political undercurrents in revolutionary Paris. Objects whose physical integrity had been respected for years were now targets for attack : while many revolutionary leaders believed that the aesthetic or historical value of symbols should save them from destruction, Clay argues that few Parisians shared such views. He suggests that beneath this treatment of representational objects lay a sophisticated understanding of the power of public spaces and symbols to convey meaning. Unofficial iconoclasm became a means of exerting influence over government policy, leading to official programmes of systematic iconoclasm that transformed Paris. "Iconoclasm in revolutionary Paris" is not only a major contribution to the historiography of so-called "vandalism" during the Revolution, but it also has significant implications for debates about heritage preservation in our own time.

On ne propose pas ici un ouvrage de plus sur les œuvres d'art ni sur les institutions artistiques de l'époque révolutionnaire, mais bien plutôt une étude sur la manière dont les hommes de la Révolution ont parlé de l'art et, plus particulièrement, de la peinture et de la sculpture. Du printemps de 1789 à l'automne de 1799, un discours artistique se forme et s'infléchit : il est inspiré par les thèmes fondateurs de la liberté et de la régénération, dont les contradictions et les ambiguïtés éclatent dès 1790 avec les débats sur l'iconoclasme et le patrimoine. Le premier problème qui se pose à la conscience révolutionnaire est en effet celui de gérer l'héritage de l'Ancien Régime. Le pouvoir parvient à élaborer en l'an II une doctrine qui ne variera plus. Au même moment, et au prix d'une étonnante manipulation de l'histoire, la Révolution revendique la succession de l'art universel que son discours nationalise au nom de la liberté. La conservation ou l'annexion des chefs-d'œuvre du passé se justifie avant tout par la nécessité de disposer des modèles nécessaires, selon la tradition académique, à la régénération de l'art. Il s'agit alors de savoir si la vocation des artistes français est de ressusciter Athènes, ou bien de chercher dans les annales de la République les thèmes d'un art triomphal. Aux questions sur l'unité ou la discontinuité de la Révolution, cet ouvrage voudrait apporter un élément de réponse. Les thèses élaborées en l'an II sont développées, plutôt que contestées, par les proclamations officielles, les traités théoriques, l'enseignement et la critique des années du Directoire. Tandis que la pensée lucide et courageuse d'un opposant comme Quatremère de Quincy domine de très haut les plaidoyers de circonstance, la véritable nouveauté réside dans la lente et encore timide émergence d'un statut historique qui apporte à l'art une promesse de dignité et de sauvegarde.
