Download or read book A Concise History of France written by Roger Price and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-02-06 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the most up-to-date and comprehensive study of French history available ranging from the early middle ages to the present. Amongst its central themes are the relationships between state and society, the impact of war, competition for power, and the ways in which power has been used. Whilst taking full account of major figures such as Philip Augustus, Henri IV, Louis XIV, Napoleon and de Gaulle, it sets their activities within the broader context of changing economic and social structures and beliefs, and offers rich insights into the lives of ordinary men and women. This third edition has been substantially revised and includes a new chapter on contemporary France - a society and political system in crisis as a result of globalisation, rising unemployment, a failing educational system, growing social and racial tensions, corruption, the rise of the extreme right, and a widespread loss of confidence in political leaders.

Download or read book Modern Painting: A Concise History (World of Art) written by Simon Morley and published by Thames & Hudson. This book was released on 2023-10-17 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new concise history of modern painting offers an indispensable reference to the complexities and characteristics of this medium, which now exists alongside many other contemporary practices that embrace radically expanded ideas about art. While acknowledging the legacy of Herbert Read’s classic 1959 study A Concise History of Modern Painting in the World of Art series, academic and artist Simon Morley places the foundation of modern art much earlier than Read, at the emergence of Romanticism and the dawn of the industrial age. Structured loosely chronologically by period, the focus is as much on individual artists as movements, with works discussed within a broader context—stylistic, historical, geographic, and gender and ethnic frames—themes which recur throughout the chapters. Generously illustrated, the global and diverse range of artists featured include William Blake, Édouard Manet, Hilma af Klint, Kazimir Malevich, Willem de Kooning, Amrita Sher-Gil, Faith Ringgold, and Kehinde Wiley. This guide also includes an appendix in the form of questions the reader might like to ask about the artists and ideas discussed—in order to reconsider the works from a contemporary perspective.

Download or read book French Painting in the Golden Age written by Christopher Allen and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 17th century has always been considered the golden age - the grand siècle - of French culture. The reigns of Louis XIII and Louis XIV witnessed an unprecedented flowering of literature and philosophy, of music, architecture and art. The poetic history painting of Poussin, the landscapes of Claude Lorrain, the portraits of Philippe de Champaigne, and the celebratory art of Le Brun at the court of Louis XIV at Versailles were among its greatest achievements. Yet the subject-matter and formal conventions most prized at the time can make it difficult for the modern viewer to appreciate the artists’ aims and to judge success or failure. Thanks to new research, it is now possible to set the major figures within the framework of the concerns and theoretical debates of the grand siècle itself. Christopher Allen, one of the few authorities on the subject outside the French-speaking world, brilliantly enables us to see beyond mere form to the meanings the artists intended us to enjoy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Concise History of Painting In the fifteen years which have elapsed since the late Mrs. Charles Heaton's "Concise History of Painting" was published, the labours of art-scholars have been very extensive and searching, and the mode and temper of art criticism have greatly changed. Nevertheless, this book, as it left the hand of its authoress, remains still the most readable and comprehensive of all short histories of Painting. It has been my aim in the present edition not to impair its precious quality of readableness, and to increase its comprehensiveness by adding notices of many artists whose exclusion would, at the present date, mar its value as a text -book. To effect the latter object without forfeiting the title of "concise," it has been necessary to reduce the original text by the excision of such passages as appeared redundant or least valuable. Otherwise the present edition differs from the first mainly in the following respects. Dates and other matters of fact have been revised throughout. The notices of Claude and the Poussins have been transferred from the Italian to the French School. These and the notices of several other painters have been re-written, and notes throughout the book have been added. The chapter on "The Last Efforts and Extinction of Painting in Italy" (Book iv., chap. 5) has been re-written, and a concluding note on the English School, and Chronological lists of the painters of each country have been added. With the exceptions of the chapter, note, and lists mentioned in the preceding sentence, and of alterations of date and other slight changes, all new or re-written matter will be found included within square brackets [ ].

She traces the fundamental transformations in government and society that forced the French to come up with new ways of thinking about their place in the world and led to liberalism, conservatism, terrorism, and modern nationalism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of French Painting: From Its Earliest to Its Latest Practice, Including an Account of the French Academy of Painting, Its Salons Schools of Instruction of Instruction and Regulations; With Reproductions of Sixteen Representative Paintings A word in defence of lists, in appearance so sterile, in fact so fer tile of information. A list of an artist's works, with dates, often times is evidence of his growth in art and life, an account of what he was and is, an implication of what he is not. They, therefore, are a concise method of giving much, especially if well based on prelimi nary sketches or discriminated classification. Greater space, then would have led to more and fuller lists. The thinking world is becoming more and more fond of drawing its own inferences from pure facts. An age that strenuously demands details in its art equally requires details of its art. Since it is a well-known fact that many artists of France, who have never won an honor at the Salons, are nevertheless rewarded by an exalted public estimate, the rank is apparent of even the least of those mentioned in the lists under the various classes, all of whom have been medalled, most to the degree of being Hors Concours, some of whom have been members of the Institute, and an occasional one a Minister of the Fine Arts. And not the least service of these statistics is their demonstration of the great wealth of French painting.
