Book Reckoning with Millet s  Man with a Hoe   1863   1900

Download or read book Reckoning with Millet s Man with a Hoe 1863 1900 written by Scott Allan and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2023-10-31 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revelatory exploration of one of Jean-François Millet’s most contentious paintings. A monumentalizing portrayal of a peasant bowed over by brutal toil, Man with a Hoe (1860–62) by Jean-François Millet (1814–1875) is arguably the most art historically significant painting in the J. Paul Getty Museum’s collection of nineteenth-century European art. This volume situates the work in the arc of Millet’s career and traces its fascinating and contentious reception, from its scandalous debut at the 1863 Paris Salon to the years following its acquisition by American collectors in the 1890s. The essays examine the painting’s tumultuous public life, beginning in France, where critics attacked it on aesthetic and political grounds as a radical realist provocation; through its transformative movement in the art market during the remaining years of the artist’s life and following his death; to its highly publicized arrival in California as a celebrated masterpiece. In the United States it was enlisted to serve philanthropic interests, became the subject of a popular poem, and once again became embroiled in controversy, in this case one that was strongly inflected by American racial politics. This is the first publication dedicated to the work since its acquisition by the Getty Museum in 1985. This volume is published to accompany an exhibition on view at the J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Center from September 12 to December 10, 2023.

Book Degas and the Business of Art

Download or read book Degas and the Business of Art written by and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While it received a more positive response than other works exhibited, its success was with the conservative audience. After considerable difficulty, Degas finally succeeded in selling the painting in 1878 to the newly founded museum in the city of Pau. The painting was probably regarded as an appropriate homage to the old textile manufacturing family who funded its purchase. It also appealed to "progressive" provincial and more cosmopolitan audiences in Pau. The picture's scattered form and atomized figures - in which some interpreters today read evidence of the artist's own ambivalence about capitalism - seemingly contributed to its "innovative" cachet in Pau. But the private and public meanings of the painting had shifted, in discontinuous fashion, between its production and consumption. Under the circumstances, Degas's unfixed and even mixed messages about business became, among other things, his most successful (if unwitting) marketing strategy.

Book Histoire de l art du XIXe si  cle  1848 1914

Download or read book Histoire de l art du XIXe si cle 1848 1914 written by Claire Barbillon and published by Ecole du Louvre. This book was released on 2012 with total page 764 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Le présent volume rassemble les contributions du colloque international Histoire de l'art du X1Xe siècle (1848-1914). Bilans et perspectives qui s'est tenu à l'École du Louvre, au musée d'Orsay et à l'Institut national d'histoire de l'art à l'occasion des vingt ans du musée d'Orsay. Ces XXIes Rencontres de l'École du Louvre, organisées en dix sessions, s'intéressant à des questions transversales mais traitant aussi des différents domaines de la production artistique, ont réuni soixante-seize contributeurs, issus du monde des musées comme de celui des universités, et se sont déroulées devant quelque six cents auditeurs. Douze nationalités de chercheurs étaient représentées. Ce colloque a été l'occasion de créer, en partenariat avec l'Institut national d'histoire de l'art, un Forum des jeunes chercheurs, manifestation originale qui trouve désormais sa place dans tous les colloques organisés par l'École du Louvre. Cette programmation particulière offre la possibilité à des élèves de 3e cycle, des doctorants ou jeunes docteurs de croiser leurs premières recherches avec celles de personnes plus confirmées. Ce colloque a été l'occasion d'esquisser un bilan, ou du moins de brosser un tableau de l'évolution des études dix-neuviémistes durant ces vingt dernières années, de souligner l'émergence de thématiques, de questions et de méthodes nouvelles. Les lecteurs trouveront dans ces actes à la fois des confirmations, mais aussi des interrogations, l'ouverture de nouveaux champs, auxquels le musée d'Orsay a contribué par ses choix d'accrochage, d'expositions et de manifestations."--P.

Book The Presence of the Prophet in Early Modern and Contemporary Islam

Download or read book The Presence of the Prophet in Early Modern and Contemporary Islam written by Rachida Chih and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-11-15 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second collective volume of the series The Presence of the Prophet explores the growing importance of the figure of the Prophet Muhammad for questions of authority and power in early modern and modern times. The authors provide a rich collection of case studies on how Muhammad’s material, spiritual, and genealogical heritage has been claimed for the foundation of Muslim empires, revolutionary movements, the formation of modern nation states and ideologies, as well as for communal mobilization and social reform. This novel comparative, and diachronic study, which is unique for its wide coverage of regional cases and perspectives, reveals diverse political representations of the Prophet in an increasingly globalised struggle over the control of his image between secularization and sacralization. Contributors Gianfranco Bria, Rachida Chih, Christoph Günther, Gottfried Hagen, Jan-Peter Hartung, David Jordan, Soraya Khodamoradi, Jamal Malik, Catherine Mayeur-Jaouen, Alix Philippon, Martin Riexinger, Stefan Reichmuth, Dilek Sarmis, Renaud Soler, Jaafar Ben El Haj Soulami, Florian Zemmin.
