Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La guerre de 1914-1918, dont la France entière va célébrer le centenaire en 2014, est un sujet qui touche tout le monde en France. Il n’est pas un village qui ne possède son monument aux morts. Dans les années 1920, ce sont quelque 36 000 monuments aux morts qui furent érigés sur tout le territoire. Chacun d’entre eux a son intérêt : par le témoignage historique qu’il représente, par les histoires et anecdotes qui l’entourent, mais aussi par les qualités artistiques de certains d’entre eux qui sont de véritables oeuvres d’art. Ces monuments se visitent comme on visite les églises ou les châteaux. Alain Choubard, passionné par l’Histoire de cette période, rassemble et présente dans ce guide touristique 500 monuments parmi les plus importants, les plus spectaculaires ou les plus beaux. Chaque notice détaille la date d’inauguration, le parcours du sculpteur ou de l’architecte, les péripéties, anecdotes et histoires locales liées au monument.
Book Synopsis Civil War Monuments and the Militarization of America by : Thomas J. Brown
Download or read book Civil War Monuments and the Militarization of America written by Thomas J. Brown and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2019-10-10 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This sweeping new assessment of Civil War monuments unveiled in the United States between the 1860s and 1930s argues that they were pivotal to a national embrace of military values. Americans' wariness of standing armies limited construction of war memorials in the early republic, Thomas J. Brown explains, and continued to influence commemoration after the Civil War. As large cities and small towns across the North and South installed an astonishing range of statues, memorial halls, and other sculptural and architectural tributes to Civil War heroes, communities debated the relationship of military service to civilian life through fund-raising campaigns, artistic designs, oratory, and ceremonial practices. Brown shows that distrust of standing armies gave way to broader enthusiasm for soldiers in the Gilded Age. Some important projects challenged the trend, but many Civil War monuments proposed new norms of discipline and vigor that lifted veterans to a favored political status and modeled racial and class hierarchies. A half century of Civil War commemoration reshaped remembrance of the American Revolution and guided American responses to World War I. Brown provides the most comprehensive overview of the American war memorial as a cultural form and reframes the national debate over Civil War monuments that remain potent presences on the civic landscape.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poser la question de la place du monument aux morts, de sa pertinence dans le paysage des contemporains et du sens qu’il renferme. Il est là depuis des lustres, scellé dans le présent avec l’assurance de l’éternité. Pourtant quels regards se posent sur lui ? Les gestes du quotidien le contournent. Muet, invisible, hors d’atteinte, il est né du souvenir pour finir monument de l’oubli. Lieu sacralisé par la mémoire, il cherche sa dimension historique. Le monument aux morts serait-il devenu un « non-lieu », un de ces endroits de l’évitement et du passage fugitif ? Le moment est venu de lui accorder le statut de monument historique, de le faire entrer dans le patrimoine commun. L’objet de ce livre est de le considérer sans emphase ni tabou, comme trace d’un passé et d’une histoire collective faite de destins individuels. Avec quelques clés il devient possible désormais de rendre audible à nouveau sa dimension symbolique, de redonner vie aux noms qui l’habitent. A un siècle de distance le monument aux morts peut simplement se raconter à quiconque viendra à sa rencontre.

Download or read book 100 monuments pour raconter l'histoire de France written by Jacques Marseille and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Si la France est le pays le plus visité au monde, ce n'est pas un hasard : son histoire mouvementée est inscrite dans la pierre. Le parti pris original de ce livre est, en effet, de raconter l'histoire de notre pays à travers ses vestiges (sites ou objets). Tout autant que la découverte du patrimoine français, c'est une autre façon d'écrire l'histoire qui se décline ici. Les auteurs nous invitent à découvrir les premières traces d'écriture dans les grottes de Lascaux, à rejoindre Diderot au Procope, rédigeant son encyclopédie ou à suivre les Bleus dans les couloirs du Stade de France par une belle soirée de juillet, grâce à un texte bien documenté et une iconographie ancienne et moderne très riche. De la Préhistoire à la période contemporaine, c'est toute l'histoire de France qui est revisitée

Book Synopsis Jules Michelet by : Michèle Hannoosh
Download or read book Jules Michelet written by Michèle Hannoosh and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2020-01-16 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jules Michelet, one of France’s most influential historians and a founder of modern historical practice, was a passionate viewer and relentless interpreter of the visual arts. In this book, Michèle Hannoosh examines the crucial role that art writing played in Michelet’s work and shows how it decisively influenced his theory of history and his view of the practice of the historian. The visual arts were at the very center of Michelet’s conception of historiography. He filled his private notes, public lectures, and printed books with discussions of artworks, which, for him, embodied the character of particular historical moments. Michelet believed that painting, sculpture, architecture, and engraving bore witness to histories that frequently went untold; that they expressed key ideas standing behind events; and that they articulated concepts that would come to fruition only later. This groundbreaking reevaluation of Michelet’s approach to history elucidates how writing about art provided a model for the historian’s relation to, and interpretation of, the past, and thus for a new type of historiography—one that acknowledges and enacts the historian’s own implication in the history he or she tells.

Book Synopsis Luxury Arts of the Renaissance by : Marina Belozerskaya
Download or read book Luxury Arts of the Renaissance written by Marina Belozerskaya and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2005-10-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today we associate the Renaissance with painting, sculpture, and architecture—the “major” arts. Yet contemporaries often held the “minor” arts—gem-studded goldwork, richly embellished armor, splendid tapestries and embroideries, music, and ephemeral multi-media spectacles—in much higher esteem. Isabella d’Este, Marchesa of Mantua, was typical of the Italian nobility: she bequeathed to her children precious stone vases mounted in gold, engraved gems, ivories, and antique bronzes and marbles; her favorite ladies-in-waiting, by contrast, received mere paintings. Renaissance patrons and observers extolled finely wrought luxury artifacts for their exquisite craftsmanship and the symbolic capital of their components; paintings and sculptures in modest materials, although discussed by some literati, were of lesser consequence. This book endeavors to return to the mainstream material long marginalized as a result of historical and ideological biases of the intervening centuries. The author analyzes how luxury arts went from being lofty markers of ascendancy and discernment in the Renaissance to being dismissed as “decorative” or “minor” arts—extravagant trinkets of the rich unworthy of the status of Art. Then, by re-examining the objects themselves and their uses in their day, she shows how sumptuous creations constructed the world and taste of Renaissance women and men.

Download or read book The Allure of the Ancient written by Margaret Geoga and published by Intersections. This book was released on 2022 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Allure of the Ancient investigates how the ancient Middle East was imagined and appropriated for artistic, scholarly, and political purposes in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Bringing together scholars of the ancient and early modern worlds, the volume approaches reception history from an interdisciplinary perspective, asking how early modern artists and scholars interpreted ancient Middle Eastern civilizations-such as Egypt, Babylonia, and Persia-and how their interpretations were shaped by early modern contexts and concerns. The volume's chapters cross disciplinary boundaries in their explorations of art, philosophy, science, and literature, as well as geographical boundaries, spanning from Europe to the Caribbean to Latin America"--
