Impressions of French modernity : art and literature in France, 1850-1900

Investigates French modernity through painting, sculpture, the novel, diaries, dance, poetry, criticism and theory. This modernity grew out of a rapidly changing world, with dramatic urban transformation. The experiences and impressions of individuals faced with this modern world engendered a new artistic genre. Beginning with Delacroix, Baudelaire and Gautier, this text moves forward to Manet, Degas and Mallarme through a broad sweep of works of arts and literature. Its three main sections identify particular features of modernity: impressions of the Second Empire; innovations in form found in verbal and visual works of art throughout the period 1850-1900; and problems of identity surrounding the figure of the artist.

Crise de plume et souveraineté du pinceau : écrire la peinture de Diderot à Proust

"Émancipés de la doctrine de l'ut pictura poesis qui avait gouverné les rapports entre littérature et peinture jusqu'à l'âge néoclassique, les peintres ont progressivement conquis le privilège de déterminer leurs propres formes esthétiques dans la souveraineté de leur art. Ce droit à l'autodétermination artistique a non seulement contribué au bouleversement des formes picturales, mais également des styles et des genres littéraires de l'âge moderne, en permettant notamment l'émergence de la critique d'art et du roman de l'artiste. En interrogeant les oeuvres de Diderot, de Balzac, de Baudelaire, des Goncourt, de Zola, de Huysmans et de Proust, ce livre retrace un état critique de l'écriture au regard d'une peinture souveraine."--P.
