Description: Paris, Citadelles & Mazenod, 2016. Hardcover. Tan cloth boards with navy stamped lettering. Glossy color-illustrated dust jacket with navy lettering, matching hardshell slipcase. 606 pp. Color and BW illustrations. Text in French. "Thought in an international perspective open to Europe in the broadest sense (Scandinavia and Eastern Europe included) and North America, this ambitious synthesis revisits more than a century of creation (1789-1914) . Breaking with the classical carving "painting / sculpture / architecture / decorative arts / photography", she envisions an extended transversal approach. The nineteenth century is, indeed, the moment where a theoretical reflection develops and where begins a true democratization of art, works, heritage. Artists training, Salon reforms, the emergence of the art market, the inflation of criticism, the birth of the museum, the design of architecture and urbanism, public sculpture, development of photography .. are so many dimensions where the public to which the works are intended is involved. From "art for art" to "art for all", modern or academic artists are confronted with the need to promote their creation, to expose it, to disseminate it." -FirstSearch.
