An examination of the continuities and differences between American Impressionism and Realism. Copyright © Libri GmbH. All rights reserved.
Eugenia Errazuriz, one of the beauties of the late ninteenth century, attests to the collectors' own love of the beautiful in American art.
The late 1870s and early 1880s were watershed years in the history of French painting. As outgoing economic and social structures were being replaced by a capitalist, measured time, Impressionist artists sought to create works that could be perceived in an instant, capturing the sensations of rapidly transforming modern life. Yet a generation of artists pushed back against these changes, spearheading a short-lived revival of the Realist practices that had dominated at mid-century and advocating slowness in practice, subject matter, and beholding. In this illuminating book, Marnin Young looks closely at five works by Jules Bastien-Lepage, Gustave Caillebotte, Alfred-Philippe Roll, Jean-Franocois Raffaeelli, and James Ensor, artists who shared a concern with painting and temporality that is all but forgotten today, having been eclipsed by the ideals of Impressionism. Young's highly original study situates later Realism for the first time within the larger social, political, and economic framework and argues for its centrality in understanding the development of modern art.
Conceptually, the William Marshall Fuller collection is bounded by a series of artistic "revolts". The Soceity of American Artists was formed in 1877; artists known as "The Ten" began to exhibit as a group in 1898; those who came to be called "The Eight" banded together in 1908 for a seminal independent exhibition at William Macbeth's gallery; and 1913 saw the accomplishment of the International Exhibition of Modern Art (the Armory Show).
The essays and catalogue entries survey American, European and Japanese precedents and provide a cultural context of the treatment of the theme of work, drawing on such diverse sources as poetry, popular songs, census reports and homeeconomics books.
