This book was released on 2018-05-06 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Painting in France, After the Decline of Classicism Modernism are all Protestant; or, perhaps, a more accurate statement of the case would be this Romanticism and Realism were Protestant, but Mod ernism is so entirely independent of Classicism as to have not even the idea of protesting against it. Meanwhile Classicism is forced to accept - which it does with loud complaints and many an anathema the position of one of the art religions instead of Me art religion; and it may maintain this kind of exis tence for a long time to come, shorn of all authority to punish heterodoxy, and compelled to see hetero doxy lifting its many heads in bold independence, yet still supported by venerable usage, and by the devotion of faithful adherents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of French Painting The latter involves, it is to be admitted, much that is intellectually and artistically confused and tentative. But the student is himself a part of the progress and must face the issue and assist in clearing its confusion and establishing it on a basis of stability and permanence. He cannot, if he is alive to the modern spirit, afford to play the ostrich. It goes without saying, however, that the part of the story most difficult to write and to estimate deals with the manifestations of the near present, which as yet we are compelled to view without the advantage of a lengthened perspective. How far these manifestations represent elements of vital growth and embody some thing durable and sound amid the flux of change must, in the nature of the case, be largely a matter of conjecture.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nineteenth Century Artists, English and French The following pages contain the Scammon Lectures delivered at Chicago in the spring of 1907, along with one or two addenda inserted, which were promised at the conclusion of the course. It was the lecturer's intention to develop them' into a larger volume, containing a more complete discussion of the subject; but circum stances have prevented the fulfilment of that desire. Some things have been added which were not spoken. Others have been omitted, because they were more suited for an oral address than for a printed book. Much of the discussion is fragmentary, because the lectures were not in tended for advanced scholars or mature art critics, but rather for students who had not pur sued their researches very far.

Download or read book Mastering the Art of French Eating written by Ann Mah and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2014-10-28 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The memoir of a young diplomat’s wife who must reinvent her dream of living in Paris—one dish at a time When journalist Ann Mah’s diplomat husband is given a three-year assignment in Paris, Ann is overjoyed. A lifelong foodie and Francophile, she immediately begins plotting gastronomic adventures à deux. Then her husband is called away to Iraq on a year-long post—alone. Suddenly, Ann’s vision of a romantic sojourn in the City of Light is turned upside down. So, not unlike another diplomatic wife, Julia Child, Ann must find a life for herself in a new city. Journeying through Paris and the surrounding regions of France, Ann combats her loneliness by seeking out the perfect pain au chocolat and learning the way the andouillette sausage is really made. She explores the history and taste of everything from boeuf Bourguignon to soupe au pistou to the crispiest of buckwheat crepes. And somewhere between Paris and the south of France, she uncovers a few of life’s truths. Like Sarah Turnbull’s Almost French and Julie Powell’s New York Times bestseller Julie and Julia, Mastering the Art of French Eating is interwoven with the lively characters Ann meets and the traditional recipes she samples. Both funny and intelligent, this is a story about love—of food, family, and France.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Two French Artist in Spain These papers appeared in the French Journal L'Assemblee Nationale, as feuilletons. They were recommended to my notice by a distinguished English critic - a veteran in literature as in politics. M. Desbarrolles, the author of them, like his friend and fellow-traveller, M. Giraud, is a distinguished French artist. In translating the papers, I have omitted a few things which would be offensive to English morality, and a few others which might startle English credulity. M. Desbarolles has evidently made use of Mr. Ford's admirable and unique Hand-book of Spain, and has not once named either the author or the book. As the Translator, I beg to do both.

This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from French Impressionists and Their Contemporaries Represented in American Collections To these technical matters I shall return later on. At this initial juncture it will be well, I think, to get our theme launched on a human basis: a basis of human drama. Of such drama there was, as we peer back at the period in question, no dearth. For, be the precise nature of their paint theories what they might, the artists responsible for the Impressionist movement in France had, like all pioneering artists in the history of art, to battle for their cause against the usual obstacles and with little beyond bootstrap encouragement. Suppose then, first, we consider the Impressionists simply as an insurgent group of artists who, along in the 1860's, found themselves drawn together by interests sufficiently mutual to make some sort of concerted action, when the time came, imperative. It was by no means a group formed over' night, nor, even after it had got pretty well established, was it a closely knit group. One of the underlying factors, as I see it now, was simply a shared wish to make the Salon, failing which where, in those days, would one be? The Paris Salon, like all academic organizations, was governed according to certain fixed canons of taste. It stood for what was accepted and respectable. Young artists with revolutionary ideas, it goes without saying, were treated as disruptive and dangerous rebels who must be suppressed in the interest of maintaining the dignity of Art - even in behalf of safeguarding the Morals of the State. An Old story, endlessly reverberant down the corridor of time, which need not be dwelt upon save to the extent of noting that (again true to form) the be havior of the Salon's administrators acted ultimately as a boomerang by impelling our outré artists of the 6o's and 70's never to relax until they had achieved public recognition.
