Travel, Collecting, and Museums of Asian Art in Nineteenth-Century Paris examines a history of contact between modern Europe and East Asia through three collectors: Henri Cernuschi, Emile Guimet, and Edmond de Goncourt. Drawing on a wealth of material including European travelogues of the East and Asian reports of the West, Ting Chang explores the politics of mobility and cross-cultural encounter in the nineteenth century. This book takes a new approach to museum studies and institutional critique by highlighting what is missing from the existing scholarship -- the foreign labors, social relations, and somatic experiences of travel that are constitutive of museums yet left out of their histories. The author explores how global trade and monetary theory shaped Cernuschi's collection of archaic Chinese bronze. Exchange systems, both material and immaterial, determined Guimet's museum of religious objects and Goncourt's private collection of Asian art. Bronze, porcelain, and prints articulated the shifting relations and frameworks of understanding between France, Japan, and China in a time of profound transformation. Travel, Collecting, and Museums of Asian Art in Nineteenth-Century Paris thus looks at what Asian art was imagined to do for Europe. This book will be of interest to scholars and students interested in art history, travel imagery, museum studies, cross-cultural encounters, and modern transnational histories.
Goods from the East focuses on the fine product trade's first Global Age: how products were made, marketed and distributed between Asia and Europe between 1600 and 1800. It brings together established scholars as well as new, to provide a full comparative and connective study of this trade.
Au XIXe siècle, progrès techniques et mutation des goûts provoquent le déclin de la faïence stannifère. L’invention de nouvelles pâtes cuisant blanc et l’introduction au milieu du XVIIIe siècle en Angleterre des procédés de décor par impression ouvrent la voie à la mécanisation de la fabrication, au passage de l’artisanat à l’industrie, qui marqueront durant un siècle l’âge d’or de la faïence fine. Parallèlement, la mode pour les arts d’Extrême-Orient pousse aussi les céramistes à s’intéresser aux matières dures tels les grès et les porcelaines encore au détriment de la faïence stannifère. Toutefois, cette dernière ne disparaît pas pour autant ; aux ouvriers se joignent les peintres de renom qui optent aussi pour ce support et la main des maîtres artisans ou artistes demeure irremplaçable face à la machine qui reproduit à l’infini des motifs jugés sans âme. Négligée par les historiens pour lesquels elle a le défaut de ne pas appartenir aux secteurs leaders de ce qu’il est convenu de nommer « révolution industrielle », qualifiée longtemps « d’art mineur » par les historiens de l’art, la faïence fine – comme une partie de la porcelaine du XIXe siècle – portait en elle le discrédit qui touche le produit industriel. Oubliée par la recherche institutionnelle – comme le reste de la céramologie – délaissée par les érudits locaux et les amateurs d’art qui lui préféraient les céramiques aux couleurs chatoyantes, elle connaît aujourd’hui un regain d’intérêt et prend sa place dans les collections.

"Unequivocally a modern, Francois Boucher (1703-70) defined the French artistic avant-garde throughout his career. Yet the triumph of modernist aesthetics - with its focus on the self-critical, the autonomous, and the intellectually challenging - has long discouraged art historians and other viewers from taking Boucher's playful and alluring works seriously. Rethinking Boucher revisits the cultural meanings and reception of his diverse oeuvre, inviting us to revise the interpretive cliches by which we have sought to tame this artist and his epoch."--BOOK JACKET.
Paul Gauguin (1848-1903) came late to painting, after two previous careers, first as a seaman, then as a stockbrocker. A romantic, a primitive, a symbolist, a born rebel and flamboyant personality, he stands at the crossroads of modern painting, summing up in his life's work the crucial transition from Impressionism to abstraction. He had no art school training. What we did have was an idea and a dream. His genius is usually considered in terms of his painting. This book offers the rare treat of a selection of watercolors, gouaches, pastels, pen-and-ink and charcoal drawings, monotypes, zincograph and woodcuts, together with pages from "Noa Noa", Gauguin's illustrated account of his stay in Tahiti. In many ways these works are more revealing than his paintings, as they allowed the artist a spontaneity and intimacy that painting, by the very nature of his technique, could not. -- From publisher's description.
