Description: The Academy and French Painting in the Nineteenth Century
~The writing and publication of The Academy and French Painting in the Nineteenth Century coincided with and made a substantial contribution to a worldwide shift in cultural taste. This shift has profoundly affected art education, museums, art historical scholarship and art production during the past two decades. The founding in 1980 of the New York...

Description: The Academy and French Painting in the Nineteenth Century
THE conception of the nineteenth-century French Academy of Beaux-Arts as a static, moribund institution, whose programme was stamped with an irremediable aversion to innovation, needs to be re-examined. The facile manner in which critics have disposed of Academic and official art – on the basis of an aesthetic frame of reference developed in the twentieth century – is...

Description: The Academy and French Painting in the Nineteenth Century
~The point of departure for this study of French official art is the period of the July Monarchy. Before examining the specific nature of this art, however, it is necessary to sketch the early growth and character of the academic system as well as of State participation and involvement in French art. Only in this way can we characterize the nature of...

Description: The Academy and French Painting in the Nineteenth Century
~While the critics theorized about the sketch, the Academy taught, in fact, the elaborate sketching procedures. It is not surprising, therefore, that the Academy’s technical sketch training provided the independents with a basis for their personal experiments. Seen in this context, an examination of the Academy’s sketch practice may very...

Description: The Academy and French Painting in the Nineteenth Century
~The general notion that the Academy disdained landscape is misleading and throws the genesis of nineteenth-century landscape painting seriously out of perspective. Far from being opposed to this genre, almost all nineteenth-century Academicians systematically practised landscape painting; as early as 1817 it was consecrated in the Academic...
