Manet: The Execution of Maximilian, Painting, Politics and Censorship

London, England, National Gallery Publications, 1992. Softcover. glossy black wrappers w/ cover illustration & white printing. 128 pgs w/ bw & color illustrations. The execution by firing squad in 1867 of Maximilian, the puppet emperor installed in Mexico by Napoleon III, was to have far-reaching implications, shattering the international prestige of France and hastening the collapse of the Second Empire. Edouard Manet was an opponent of Napoleon's authoritarian government, and was regarded in Paris as a dangerously non-conformist artist. Between 1867 and 1869 he made three separate attempts to create a monumental painting of the. Execution. He attracted political censorship, but equally he aroused hostility by his subversive style, which deliberately rejected the conventions of history painting. This comprehensive study was inspired by an exhibition at the National Gallery in London, which united the three paintings for the first time since Manet's death in 1883. Manet's paintings are illustrated alongside contemporary prints and photographs, as well as major works that reveal how Manet tackled a. Range of current issues. Juliet Wilson-Bareau, who has uncovered a wealth of new material on this subject, discusses possible sources for the paintings and the development of Manet's imagery. The Maximilian paintings are often seen as an isolated outburst of political sentiment in his career, but Juliet Wilson-Bareau argues that many of his most familiar works of the 1860s may contain references to contemporary events. Douglas Johnson's historical account of the French. Intervention in Mexico, and John House's discussion of Salon painting in the 1860s, place Manet's choice of subject and of style in a broad context of political and artistic opposition to Napoleon III. John House describes a general decline in history painting in the second half of the nineteenth century and shows how Manet's unassertive and wholly modern scene of martyrdom not only went against academic tradition but, just because of its ambiguities and its. Inexpressiveness, made a strong political statement and became a potent symbol of failed imperial ambition.--Firstsearch. VG. scuffs & scratches to covers; light edge-wear. spine ends rubbed. price sticker to back cover. tight binding. clean interior.

Matisse in the Barnes Foundation - 3 Volume Set

Philadelphia, PA, The Barnes Foundation, 2015. Hardcover. Cloth slipcase, all volumes are hard cover. 3 volumes : illustrations (some color), portraits. "Despite the reknown of the Matisse holdings at the Barnes Foundation, these works have long remained uncatalogued and elusive to many, given the Foundation's restrictions on loans and color photography. Generations of scholars have lamented the black-and-white slides of Le Bonheur de vivre that anticlimactically accompanied lectures on the riot of Fauvre color. Matisse in the Barnes Foundation .. grew out research on the collection initiated in the 1990s .. Goals for the Matisse project included gathering comprehensive information on the works, from external sources, the tremendously rich and recently catalogued Barnes Foundation Archives, and the insights of curators and conservators, and creating for each work an internally consistent record in the Foundation's database, part of which could eventually migrate to the Foundation's website"--Foreword (pages 21-22). A landmark compendium - the first authoritative publication to cover in its entirety one of the most significant holdings of Matisse in the world. Here is a vibrant celebration - slipcased and beautifully produced - of the Barnes' extraordinary Matisse collection. Composed of fifty-nine works from every stage of the artist's career, it is among the most important in the world. At its heart are Matisse's most historically significant paintings, Le Bonheur de vivre, also called The Joy of Life, and The Dance, the monumental mural that Albert C Barnes commissioned to fill the lunettes of the Foundation's main gallery, transforming both the space and the artist's career. An essay by Yve-Alain Bois addresses the evolution of The Dance and its role in Matisse's career; Karen Butler looks at what Barnes thought of Matisse; and Claudine Grammont's considers how and why he collected his work. The artworks themselves, sumptuously reproduced, are the subjects of interpretive analyses that tell the stories of their acquisition and address their critical reception. The book includes major contributions by Barbara Buckley and Jennifer Mass on the artists technique and a report on the latest findings on the pigments used in Le Bonheur de vivre. Contents as follows: Volume 1 : Foreword -- Matisse in the laboratory of Dr. Barnes : how and why Barnes collected Matisse / Claudine Grammont -- Ensembles -- Matisse's awakening / Yve-Alain Bois -- Henri Matisse according to Dr. Barnes / Karen K. Butler ; Volume 2 : Catalogue nos. 1-5 -- Le Bonheur de vivre : 'the work of a superb colorist' / Barbara A. Buckley and Jennifer Mass -- Catalogue nos. 6-49 ; Volume 3 : Catalogue nos. 50-51 -- The dance process -- Catalogue nos. 52-59 -- Notes -- Correspondence around the dance.
