Jean Bonnassieux Sculpteur De Madones…
Roger Briand Jean Bonnassieux Sculpteur de madones… Panissières, 1810 - Paris, 1892 Préface, Antoinette Le Normand-Romain Directeur général de L’Institut National d’Histoire de L’art La Diana Village de Forez Association culturelle de Panissières et sa région 2009 Jean Bonnassieux, sculpteur de madones… À Marie… 2 Jean Bonnassieux, sculpteur de madones… 3 Jean Bonnassieux, sculpteur de madones… Notre-Dame-de-France, 1860, Le Puy-en-Velay (Haute-Loire), juchée sur le rocher Corneille, la colossale madone en fonte est vue de l’arrière. L’Enfant lève la main droite en un geste de bénédiction. « La chevelure méchée de la Vierge tombe tel un voile… » Gravure de Dubouchet, extraite de Douze statues de la Vierge, par J. Bonnassieux (1879) 4 Jean Bonnassieux, sculpteur de madones… i le nom de Bonnassieux n’est peut-être familier aujourd’hui qu’aux lecteurs des Trois Mousquetaires, d’Alexandre Dumas (et sous une orthographe un peu différente), beaucoup connaissent en revanche son œuvre principale, ne serait-ce que par ses dimensions, la Vierge Smonumentale du Puy-en-Velay. Et pourtant Bonnassieux pourrait presque constituer un cas d’école. Issu d’un milieu simple, formé à l’école des beaux-arts de Lyon, il vint à Paris en 1834 et entra dans l’atelier d’Auguste Dumont, lui-même lauréat du concours de Rome en 1823. En 1836 il obtint à son tour le Prix de Rome ce qui lui permit de passer cinq ans à la villa Médicis et on peut imaginer ce que représentait pour un jeune Français, originaire d’une région austère, la découverte de l’Italie : « Que Rome est belle et puissante sur l’âme d’un artiste ! On ne peut rester froid devant elle, devant ses richesses qui étonnent et grandissent l’intelligence. -
Beyond the Orientalist Canon: Art and Commerce
© COPYRIGHT by Fanna S. Gebreyesus 2015 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 1 BEYOND THE ORIENTALIST CANON: ART AND COMMERCE IN JEAN-LÉON GÉRÔME'S THE SNAKE CHARMER BY Fanna S. Gebreyesus ABSTRACT This thesis re-examines Jean-Léon Gérôme's iconic painting The Snake Charmer (1879) in an attempt to move beyond the post-colonial interpretations that have held sway in the literature on the artist since the publication of Linda Nochlin’s influential essay “The Imaginary Orient” in 1989. The painting traditionally is understood as both a product and reflection of nineteenth-century European colonial politics, a view that positions the depicted figures as racially, ethnically and nationally “other” to the “Western” viewers who encountered the work when it was exhibited in France and the United States during the final decades of the nineteenth century. My analysis does not dispute but rather extends and complicates this approach. First, I place the work in the context of the artist's oeuvre, specifically in relation to the initiation of Gérôme’s sculptural practice in 1878. I interpret the figure of the nude snake charmer as a reference to the artist’s virtuoso abilities in both painting and sculpture. Second, I discuss the commercial success that Gérôme achieved through his popular Orientalist works. Rather than simply catering to the market for Orientalist scenes, I argue that this painting makes sophisticated commentary on its relation to that market; the performance depicted in the work functions as an allegory of the painting’s reception. Finally, I discuss the display of this painting at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair, in an environment of spectacle that included the famous “Oriental” exhibits in the Midway Plaisance meant to dazzle and shock visitors. -

His body of work comprises over 2,000 oils, watercolors, pastels and illustrations and after 1912, over 400 etchings and prints. Today, he is perhaps best known for his paintings that capture the excitement of New York City at the turn of century, such as his famous depictions of flag-studded Fifth Avenue during World War I, but his unparalleled skill at portraying the tranquility and beauty of the countryside with his bright, tonal palette and descriptive brushwork are considered to be some of his most sophisticated work. Hassam was born in Dorchester, Massachusetts (now a part of Boston) to a prominent merchant family descended from the settlers of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. He initially trained as an apprentice to a wood engraver, and from the late 1870s to the mid-1880s created drawings for book illustrations—largely children’s stories—as well as illustrations for periodicals such as Century and Harper’s magazines. -

For the next seventeen years, Gregori beautified the school’s interiors––painting scenes on the interior of the Golden Dome and the Columbus murals within the Main Building, as well as creating murals and the Stations of the Cross for the Basilica of the Sacred Heart. In 1875 the Bishops Gallery and the Museum of Indian Antiquities opened in the Main Building. The Bishops Gallery featured sixty portraits of bishops painted by Gregori. In 1899 Rev. Edward W. J. -

He was one of the best representatives of Neo-Greek art and was highly successful with his historical and archaeological reconstructions. In Delaroche’s studio, Boulanger met his Neo-Greek friends: Henri-Pierre Picou, Jean-Louis Hamon, and especially Jean-Léon Gérôme. All four of them lived for a while on the Rue Notre- Dame-des-Champs and were good friends. After winning the Prix de Rome in 1848, Boulanger spent six years in Rome where he was fascinated by archaeological research. -

Agata Wójcik, Jean-Léon Gérôme and Stanisław Chlebowski: the Story Of
RIHA Journal 0014 | 27 December 2010 Jean-Léon Gérôme and Stanisław Chlebowski: The Story of a Friendship Agata Wójcik Peer review and editing organized by: Międzynarodowe Centrum Kultury / International Cultural Centre, Krakow Reviewers: Barbara Ciciora, Monika Rydiger Wersja polska dostępna pod / Polish version available at: http://www.riha-journal.org/articles/2010/wojcik-gerome-chlebowski-pl (RIHA Journal 0013) Abstract The aim of the article is to present the story of the relationship between Jean-Léon Gérôme and Stanisław Chlebowski. The reconstruction of their friendship is partly based on yet unpublished source materials on the life and work of Chlebowski. The artists met in the early 1860s. Their acquaintance became closer in 1875 when Gérôme stayed in Istanbul at Chlebowski's house. When Chlebowski moved to France, Gérôme introduced him to the French artistic circles, offered him advice and suggested themes for his work. Their relationship was interrupted by Chlebowski's disease and his return to Poland. The last note of this friendship was the short story by Léontine de Nittis, published in 1892. – – – – – [1] Jean Lecomte du Noüy, Odilon Redon, Thomas Eakins, Hamdi Bey, Mary Cassatt – the list of painters who studied under Jean-Léon Gérôme is very long. For almost forty years more than two thousand students from Europe and America came through Gérôme's atelier and many of them became quite successful. For some of them working with Gérôme, a great individuality, was a somewhat painful experience. For others his oeuvre became a model or even an ideal to be strived at. These students often began to slavishly copy his style.1 Stanisław Chlebowski, though only shortly a student of Gérôme, was the artist's friend for many years and considered him as his artistic role-model. -

Second Place Humanities & Fine Arts
LIBRARY AWARD FOR UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH Second Place Humanities & Fine Arts www.library.ucsb.edu Noelle Y. Barr B.A. Student Department of Music and the History of Art & Architecture University of California, Santa Barbara Library Award for Undergraduate Research, Essay Reflective Essay Paris is an alluring city to many individuals, but my desire to research French culture is unique to my individual gravitation to Paris as an amateur musician and artist. When I enrolled concurrently in my first two seminar courses - Dr. Derek Katz’s seminar on Romantic Music and Dr. Carole Paul’s seminar on Public Art - I had the serendipitous opportunity to engage in research on Parisian projects. After reading David Atkinson and Denis Cosgrove’s article “Urban Rhetoric and Embodied Identities” (1998), which briefly mentioned the Paris Opera House, I knew there was more to explore on that magnificent edifice and its relationship with Parisian culture, art, and music history. Once I committed to this project, the UCSB library resources, including meetings with the librarians and professors in my field, finding and requesting articles, images, and books, and accessing library spaces, enabled me to turn it into a rich academic project. My research project analyzes the main facade of the Palais Garnier - the Paris Opera House - in the context of nineteenth-century French music culture. I aim to address how the Opera House’s main facade acts as a vehicle for asserting and conveying codified music values in nineteenth-century Paris through its urban and sculptural design. My first method of research was to seek out historical information from books and articles at the library contextualizing the political impetus for the Second Empire of France to commission an imperial opera house. -
