Download or read book 200 Neoclassical Designs and Motifs written by Agostino Aglio and published by Courier Corporation. This book was released on 2002-01-01 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 18th-century France, the neoclassicism of the Louis XVI style reflected a definite reaction against over-elaborate rococo and baroque designs; and with Napoleon's assumption of power late in the century, there came a deliberate artistic attempt to re-create the aura of Imperial Rome to give a sense of legitimacy and permanence to the new "empire." This French neoclassicism was soon reflected in many stylebooks published in England during the period. The present volume comprises a selection of 43 plates from one of these extremely rare British collections. It provides artists and illustrators with a host of elegant, royalty-free fine line illustrations depicting cherubs astride lions, gods and goddesses at play, figures draped in classical robes, cartouches, busts, and a wealth of other designs, all ready to add a touch of timeless classical elegance to a wide variety of print projects as well as numerous art and craft activities.

Download or read book Neoclassicism written by Victoria Charles and published by Parkstone International. This book was released on 2019-12-09 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the arts, Neoclassicism is a historical tradition or aesthetic attitude based on the art of Greece and Rome in antiquity. The movement started around the 18th-century, age of Enlightenment, and continued into the early 19th-century The general credo associated with the aesthetic attitude of Classicism was that art had to be rational and therefore morally better. Neoclassicists also believed that art should be cerebral, not sensual and therefore characterised by clarity of form, sober colours and shallow space. It was a reaction against both the surviving Baroque and Rococo styles, and a desire to return to the perceived ""purity"" of the arts of Rome. The important artists of the movement include the sculptors Antonio Canova,Jean-Antoine Houdon and Bertel Thorvaldsen, and the painters J.A.D. Ingres, Jacques-Louis David and Anton Raphael Mengs.

Download or read book Harbingers of Twentieth Century Neo classicism written by Finn Egeland Hansen and published by Aarhus Universitetsforlag. This book was released on 2019-06-03 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book proposes a new theory about the neo-classical style in music. The Danish emeritus professor Finn Egeland Hansen has chosen three different composers - the French Camille Saint-Saens and Charles Gounod, and the Danish Niels W. Gade - to discuss his thesis that the main classical-romantic current of the 19th century in fact represents two sub-currents. One sub-current focusing on the romantic aspects, the other focusing on the classical aspects of its musical style. In close readings of works by these three composers, Hansen demonstrates how in different aspects they were harbingers of the neo-classical style - a style that is usually exemplified through later composers like Igor Stravinsky, Paul Hindemith and the members of the French group Les Six. Hansen labels these harbingers' style as retro-classicism. Finn Egeland Hansen's doctoral dissertation was on The Grammar of Gregorian Tonality (1979), and his most recent book is Layers of Musical Meaning (2006). Since 1990 he has been Chairman of the Foundation for the Publication of the Works of Niels W. Gade.
Download or read book Desire and Excess written by Jonah Siegel and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-05-11 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this fascinating look at the creative power of institutions, Jonah Siegel explores the rise of the modern idea of the artist in the nineteenth century, a period that also witnessed the emergence of the museum and the professional critic. Treating these developments as interrelated, he analyzes both visual material and literary texts to portray a culture in which art came to be thought of in powerful new ways. Ultimately, Siegel shows that artistic controversies commonly associated with the self-consciously radical movements of modernism and postmodernism have their roots in a dynamic era unfairly characterized as staid, self-satisfied, and stable. The nineteenth century has been called the Age of the Museum, and yet critics, art theorists, and poets during this period grappled with the question of whether the proliferation of museums might lead to the death of Art itself. Did the assembly and display of works of art help the viewer to understand them or did it numb the senses? How was the contemporary artist to respond to the vast storehouses of art from disparate nations and periods that came to proliferate in this era? Siegel presents a lively discussion of the shock experienced by neoclassical artists troubled by remains of antiquity that were trivial or even obscene, as well as the anxious aesthetic reveries of nineteenth-century art lovers overwhelmed by the quantity of objects quickly crowding museums and exhibition halls. In so doing, he illuminates the fruitful crises provoked when the longing for admired art is suddenly satisfied. Drawing upon neoclassical art and theory, biographies of early nineteenth-century writers including Keats and Scott, and the writings of art critics such as Hazlitt, Ruskin, and Wilde, this book reproduces a cultural matrix that brings to life the artistic passions and anxieties of an entire era.

Download or read book Boileau and the Nature of Neoclassicism written by Gordon Pocock and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1980-06-19 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Boileau has traditionally been regarded as the spokesman of French neo-classicism, but some elements of scholarship have discounted the importance of neo-classical doctrine in general and of Boileau's particular contribution to it. Many critical approaches have stressed instead the liveliness and wit of Boileau's poems, his love of language and his passionate temperament. Mr Pocock uses these critical approaches to demonstrate in detail how Boileau's verve, love of contrasts, and essentially dramatic imagination animate the major poems. But he also argues that such approaches do not in themselves suffice to explain Boileau's special qualities. Neo-classicism was an important element in the intellectual life of Europe in the most critical period of the decline of Christianity and the rise of rationalism and science. Mr Pocock proposes a reformulation of those views which take account not only of modern criticism but also of Boileau's commitment to neo-classicism and his embodiment of it in his work.
