Its programme is vast; it is to compress into a rapid sketch seventy years that have given to the French School some of its greatest masters and an imposing number of artists of high merit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern French Painters: Illustrated With Over 100 Plates It is too early yet to inquire whether, among the artists here under consideration, there are some who may prove some day the peers of those great names. But of one thing I feel certain: if the not insignificant period of artistic history of which this book treats has brought forth one or several artists worthy of those Masters, it is among those I have studied here that he or they will be found.

This book was released on 2017-10-31 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories of the French Artists From Clouet to Delacroix IN no country, perhaps, has art reflected the life and character of the nation to the extent that it has done in France, from which it follows that French art can never, except in certain of its phases, be so universally acceptable as that of Italy. And this because Italian art had a world-wide message to deliver, a message which has moulded thought and custom, and has done more to shape the destiny of modern art and thought than any other since that of the Greeks. A full-blooded and masculine art, whose fol lowers were not afraid to invade the highest realms of religious idealism and symbolism, and yet could grasp, as many of the Venetians did, the stern facts of materialism, was destined to.

Download or read book History of Art written by Elie Faure and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-21 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Art: Modern Art French painting, for a hundred years, has aecom plished the same task. It is still misunderstood, especially by the French. It is one of the miracles of history, comparable to the most surprising. It has produced ten men of genius, more than the great century of Holland, or of Flanders, or of Spain, as many as the great centuries Of Italy. It appeared precisely on the morrow of the spread of revolution over Europe, offering to souls waiting in silence the power of liberation which the march of the republican armies brought to the legitimate appetites of the peoples and to the ideas of their shepherds. It is thanks to that march that it appeared in France and not in some other place, as it was thanks to the struggle of Germany to regain possession of herself from Napoleon, that the great German music, through Richard Wagner, closed its heroic cycle. The explosion Of sentiment, so long deferred, employs color as its expression. Conquered Europe and the Orient, faintly in view, tumultuously enter the sensuous emotion of the French. The Romantic dream and classical realism clash and mingle in France, where Italy and Germany meet for the third time. And it is here that the Renaissance of the south and the Renaissance of the north confront each other to affirm a definitive accord.

Download or read book tudes in Modern French Art Classic Reprint written by Earl Shinn and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-15 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Études in Modern French Art Go see the drawings by Raphael in the Louvre; see how he attaches his figure together at the knees and shoulders and hips; how careful he is to insist on this continuity of the form; how every bone hangs by a string to some other bone; and how careful he is to express this dragging and weight of the form. I have never seen a drawing by Gerome which did not insist on the same quality of nature. He may violently bend the joint of a figure, but what he insists on is the flow of it, not the break of it. This continuity is one of the great traits of a figure by Gerome; another is, that when the conditions of the picture do not give a chance to tell all the facts about a figure, and when some have to be expressed and others omitted, he expresses the facts of the mechanism of the human frame, so that the figure, however slight, is a viable machine. He has sometimes shown a peculiar reticence in stating the facts about a figure, reducing it to its necessary parts; these slighted or subordinate figures remind me strangely of Egyptian images, and have something of the same dignity; an Egyptian figure always seems to say that the artist was capable of expressing more if he chose, but preferred to hold his tongue; the facts of anatomy seem to be all there, only enclosed in a sort of envelope; and the figure is sure to be not a bundle of limbs, but an unity, depending upon itself from head to foot. This summary treatment, perhaps inspired by his love for Egyptian art, is successfully practiced alone by Gerome among modern painters.

Download or read book A History of French Art 1100 1899 Classic Reprint written by Rose Georgina Kingsley and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of French Art, 1100-1899 In other nations we see that their Art has undoubtedly been affected by conditions of race, soil, and climate. The blue Sky and blue waves Of Italy - its vines, and olives, and cypress groves, the grace and charm of its women, in whom the mysterious attraction of the goddess Of antiquity seems to live afresh, were predestined to produce that most perfect flower of Art, which has made the whole country a shrine. And to that shrine a ceaseless stream of devotees have flocked for hundreds of years, paying eternal homage to eternal beauty. In Spain - the land of fierce adventure and, passionate serenade, severe in its natural aspects, with a people of strongly-marked characteristics, tough as their own Toledo blades, gloomy and fanatical in their religion - we get the very key to Spanish Art. And the inex pressible charm which reigns over the English landscape - the sense of tranquil security - the country life and love of nature which are SO closely bound up with the life of the whole nation - the deep, heavy colour - the moist verdure of hedgerow and pasture, woodland and moorland - to all these elements we owe our great landscape artists, who have so nobly interpreted the solid, steadfast, yet tender beauty of their country. France is in some respects the most richly-dowered country on earth, both in the characteristics of her race and in the diversity of her natural gifts. And France has always captivated the world by her very contradictions. Despite momentary irritations and impatiences, she must always be, not only to her children, but to all who have once experienced her subtle charm, what she was called of old La douce France Her race, composed of many elements, has pre served the characteristics Of each, and gradually fused them into a harmonious whole.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern French Masters HE source of art is the fountain of Love: the T winged spirits, Painting, Sculpture, and Poetry, spring from it hand in hand. With affectionate leave takings and cries of joy at their liberation, they soar into space, the angel of Music out-winging the rest because of more lambent fibre, but She is no more vital nor pulsating than her sisters. Genius is Love, Talent is the sure perception of essentials combined with the power of expression. Talent, coupled With genius, produces the love-child that men call a Masterpiece.

Download or read book Literature Through Art written by Helmut Hatzfeld and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-05-18 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Literature Through Art: A New Approach to French Literature To the literary historian, a history of French literature in which art is used as the key to a better and deeper understanding of literature will be of primary concern. The art historian, on the other hand, will take the 0p posite view wishing to see art elucidated by other forms of expression. To us the paramount problem is the comparative analysis and appreciation of texts and pictures in their details. For this purpose the historian must also be a philologist and a critic, i.e. One who can analyze both texts and pictures with correctness and taste. Therefore philologist and critic must be under stood here in a double sense; first, factually, in regard to interpretation and iconography and second, formally, in regard to stylistics and formal de scription. From a methodological point of view, philology is involved in yet an other sense. It is gratifying to see that the text-bound analytical, and stylistic method in literary history as used here, and as Opposed to the traditionally vague, synthetic, and persuasive method, finds even on the non-compara tive level enthusiastic support from the analysts of literary style. It is they who have called for a change in the way of literary history. The method of explication de textes has been used for some years for historical purposes in the sense that the new literary history in the making is considered to be composed of single layers of interpreted texts as encountered in successive epochs. It is this method that is used here on a comparative basis, the ex plications de textes having been supplemented by the explications de tableaux.
