The Paris of the 1860s and 1870s was supposedly a brand-new city, equipped with boulevards, cafés, parks, and suburban pleasure grounds--the birthplace of those habits of commerce and leisure that constitute "modern life." Questioning those who view Impressionism solely in terms of artistic technique, T. J. Clark describes the painting of Manet, Degas, Seurat, and others as an attempt to give form to that modernity and seek out its typical representatives--be they bar-maids, boaters, prostitutes, sightseers, or petits bourgeois lunching on the grass. The central question of The Painting of Modern Life is this: did modern painting as it came into being celebrate the consumer-oriented culture of the Paris of Napoleon III, or open it to critical scrutiny? The revised edition of this classic book includes a new preface by the author. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

But I didn't find it interesting. I found it went on and on and I really couldn't concentrate. I suppose I don't really care about critiques of paintings. In fact, I rather dislike art criticism. What I do enjoy is learning about the people, the history, and the culture of the times. There wasn't enough of that in this book for me. Of if it was there, I couldn't find it, being bogged down by too much academic discussion. ( )
