Within this phrenetic climate for alternative exhibition venue creation, Joséphin Péladan founded the Salons of the Rose + Croix (1892-1897). He framed the Salons as ideologically unified exhibitions at which idealized works focusing on spirituality, tradition, and beauty would engender social reform by encouraging a decadent society to focus on timeless poetic and mystical ideas. Nevertheless, in practice the Rose + Croix functioned mainly as an exhibition venue for artists whose work only loosely responded to the established platform. The exhibited works reveal some overlap with Péladanřs mystical, idealized, and reformist aims, yet even the central ten exhibitors deviated from the leaderřs published mandates in myriad ways, showing that the Rose + Croix was not an ideologically united group. I determine the ten central exhibitors with statistical analysis of the salon catalogs and fifty contemporary reviews, moving beyond anecdotal considerations to base my conclusions on the ideas and production of the groupřs main affiliates. Péladanřs principles are clearly those of a writer attempting to direct artists. Rarely discussing specific techniques, he usually focused on subject matter and conceptual frameworks. The exhibiting artists built on many of his broader ideas, developing anti-naturalist methods to express their focus on eternal, mystical Ideas. Nevertheless, contemporary reviews and critical iv writings by Péladan and the artists reveal divergences between the platform and implementation in terms of: the relationship between art and life, the transformation of nature, and the influence of history and earlier artistic movements. Additionally, the artists associated with the group incorporated a range of religious and scientificŕor pseudo-scientificŕinfluences into their works, combining Catholic, Rosicrucian, and theosophical principles with optical science and psychology, especially theories about hysteria. The depictions of women and the highly varied literary illustrations and themes reveal that even in areas where Péladan issued specific guidelines, the exhibited works often deviated from his principles. The group also expressed conflicting attitudes toward women because at least five female artists exhibited works at the Salonŕviolating a central group tenet that outlawed womenřs participation. v For both of the Robins. vi Acknowledgements I am indebted to many people for their assistance in completing this dissertation. My adviser, Professor Long guided me throughout this process with her helpful advice, comments, suggestions, and especially, support. Professor Sund provided rigorous editing and many important suggestions for both my proposal and dissertation. I am also extremely grateful to the other members of my committee, Professor Emily Braun and President Sharon Hirsh. I would like to thank the Graduate Center for financially supporting me throughout my PhD and for funding my dissertation research in Paris. The staff at all of the museums, libraries, and archives where I researched were extraordinarily accommodating and provided valuable suggestions, especially those at the Bibliothèque de lřArsenal and the Bibliothèque Centrale des Musées Nationaux. Several scholars have been extremely helpful in meeting with me, responding to emails, and allowing me access to documents. I would especially like to thank Robert Doré for his insights on Armand Point. Additionally, Véronique Dumas and Jean-David Jumeau-Lafond provided useful insights and information. Scholars and colleagues at a variety of conferences where I have presented material related to this dissertation have asked important questions that have framed my thoughts on the Rose + Croix. Additionally, Britany Salsbury provided important edits and Timothy Wilson checked and strengthened my translations. My mother has always been extremely supportive, even though I rarely work on Ŗprettyŗ pictures! I would like to thank her for always listening and understanding. Susan has led the way and constantly shown me that with enough commitment and hard work, anything is possible. I would also like to thank Stephanie Chadwick for continually helping me rethink my vii topic, structure, and argument throughout the research process with our daily lunches at the François Mitterand. Those breaks helped keep me going and the many comments and edits she made throughout the process were always insightful. Her support and understanding of all of the ups and downs of this process also played a vital role in my progress. I would also like to thank my son for not arriving earlyŕhopefully he will always respond so well to academic deadlines and schedules! Finally, I would like to thank David for his humor, flexibility, willingness to listen, and many, many tasty dinners. viii Table of Contents: Abstract .......................................................................................................................................... iv Acknowledgements ....................................................................................................................... vii List of Tables ................................................................................................................................. xi List of Illustrations ........................................................................................................................ xii Abbreviations: ............................................................................................................................. xvii Introduction ..................................................................................................................................... 1 Chapter 1: Principle Figures, Group Dynamics, and other Alternative Venues ........................... 27 Key Leaders and Central Group Members ............................................................................... 28 The Role of the Artist: Conflicting Group Structures ............................................................... 35 Group Dynamics in the Context of other Alternative Venues .................................................. 42 Chapter 2: Dynamics and Divisions: Statistics, Critical Responses, and Leadership Roles ........ 54 Statistically Speaking: Critical Reviews, Duration, and Intensity ............................................ 54 Critical Divisions: ..................................................................................................................... 62 Conflicts: The Evolution of the Septenaire, Leadership Models, and Group Dynamics ......... 69 Chapter 3: Doctrinal Divisions, Social Reform, Nature, and the Past: ŖThe notorious exhibition program has necessarily been reducedŗ ........................................................................................ 86 CriticismŕConcessions and Castigation .................................................................................. 88 Art and Society: The Role of the Decorative .......................................................................... 102 The Natural World: Deformation and Idealization ................................................................. 115 The Past: Opposition and Reliance ......................................................................................... 128 Chapter 4: The ŖHigh Sciences:ŗ Hysteria, Astral Fluids, Symmetrical Diagrams, Optics, and Psychology .................................................................................................................................. 140 Overlapping and Competing Religious Realms ...................................................................... 144 Theories of Color, the ŖPsychology of Nature,ŗ and the ŖSymbolism of Tintsŗ .................... 160 Hysteria and Hypnotism: Visionary

  • Jacques Seebacher : Hugo Et La Quadrature Des Religions
    Retour Jacques Seebacher : Hugo et la quadrature des religions Communication au Groupe Hugo du 20 septembre 2003. Ce texte peut être téléchargé au format pdf Si Dieu nous a faits à son image, nous le lui avons bien rendu. Voltaire. Vers la fin de l'hiver 1842, Hugo a quarante ans, « la force de l'âge » ; il épouse pleinement l'Académie française, publie Le Rhin qui, écrit sur le décours de la crise politique européenne, lui ouvrira les portes de la Chambre des pairs. Mais Juliette, sa maîtresse, jalouse, se moque pour ne pas pleurer, et tombe malade. Son fils, François Victor, se débat, probablement contre la tuberculose qui l'emportera quelque trente ans plus tard. Sa fille Léopoldine ne pense qu’à se marier avec Auguste Vacquerie, lequel va devoir enterrer ses neveux l'un après l'autre. C'est de cette période que Hugo date, dans Les Contemplations (III, 4), le quatrain Écrit au bas d'un crucifix, jailli en fait sous sa plume dans la nuit du 4 au 5 mars 1847, cinq ans plus tard, trois ans et demi après la noyade de Léopoldine, au moment où son travail pour ce qui sera Les Misérables l'attache au questionnement des insurrections de Paris ou de Buzançais, des ouvriers et des paysans. Vous qui pleurez, venez à ce Dieu, car il pleure. Vous qui souffrez venez à lui, car il guérit. Vous qui tremblez, venez à lui, car il sourit. Vous qui passez, venez à lui, car il demeure. Le deuil, la souffrance, l'angoisse s'y conjuguent dans le symbolisme du « passage » qui fit la force et le triomphe des christianismes : Jésus, «Dieu fait homme», pleurant comme nous et comme Madeleine au tombeau de Lazare, est le ressusciteur bientôt ressuscité qui apaisera toute crainte, laquelle renvoie au principe de mort, puisqu'il est « la voie, la vérité, la vie », donc le principe permanent d'assomption dans l'éternité.

  • The Synagogue of Satan
    THE SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN BY MAXIMILIAN J. RUDWIN THE Synagogue of Satan is of greater antiquity and potency than the Church of God. The fear of a mahgn being was earher in operation and more powerful in its appeal among primitive peoples than the love of a benign being. Fear, it should be re- membered, was the first incentive of religious worship. Propitiation of harmful powers was the first phase of all sacrificial rites. This is perhaps the meaning of the old Gnostic tradition that when Solomon was summoned from his tomb and asked, "Who first named the name of God?" he answered, "The Devil." Furthermore, every religion that preceded Christianity was a form of devil-worship in the eyes of the new faith. The early Christians actually believed that all pagans were devil-worshippers inasmuch as all pagan gods were in Christian eyes disguised demons who caused themselves to be adored under different names in dif- ferent countries. It was believed that the spirits of hell took the form of idols, working through them, as St. Thomas Aquinas said, certain marvels w'hich excited the wonder and admiration of their worshippers (Siiinina theologica n.ii.94). This viewpoint was not confined to the Christians. It has ever been a custom among men to send to the Devil all who do not belong to their own particular caste, class or cult. Each nation or religion has always claimed the Deity for itself and assigned the Devil to other nations and religions. Zoroaster described alien M^orshippers as children of the Divas, which, in biblical parlance, is equivalent to sons of Belial.

  • Âme D'automne (Autumn Soul)
    Armand Point (French 1860 - 1932) Âme d’Automne (Autumn Soul) Pastel on brown paper. Signed APoint at the lower right. 483 x 645 mm. (19 x 25 3/8 in.) This beautiful pastel portrait was exhibited by Armand Point, with the title Âme d’Automne, at the Salon of the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts on the Champ de Mars in Paris in 1893. A contemporary photograph of the exhibition shows the present work hanging alongside nine other highly finished pastel paintings of young women by the artist. All of the works shown by Point at the Salon de la Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts of 1893 were much admired by critics, and two of the pastels were purchased by the State. The model for this pastel portrait was Point’s companion and muse, Hélène Linder (1867-1955), who met the artist around 1886. Linder posed for several of his finest paintings, drawings, pastels and prints of the 1890’s. As the Point scholar Robert Doré has noted of the artist, ‘his observations focused on Hélène...she remained his preferred model until the end of the century...She was above all the inspiration and muse of Armand Point who would, thanks to her, know a period of exceptional creativity.’ Hélène Linder and Point lived together at Marlotte for nearly eight years. This period, as Doré has noted, accounts for some of ‘the artist’s finest works [in] the most brilliantly creative period in his career. These works are a testament to the deep tenderness that unified them, and the enthusiasm they shared in Marlotte.’ Point and Linder remained together until 1899, when Hélène met and eventually married the diplomat Philippe Berthelot.

  • Artigo – Ordem Kabalistica Da Rose-Croix Sociedade Das Ciências Antigas 2 Que Sucedeu a S.T.Isis
    Sociedade das Ciências Antigas Ordem KABALÍSTICA DA ROSE CROIX (O.K.R.C.) ORIGEm DA ORDEm Em 1884 o esotérico MARQUÉS STANISLAS DE GUAITA (1861-1897), com a idade de 24 anos, leu o "O Vicio Supremo", escrito por Joséphin Péladan. A mística de Péladan atraiu a Guaita que se colocou em contato com ele. Guaita não só connheceu a Joséphin, como também ao irmão maior de Joséphin, chamado Adrian Péladan, de quen Bayard disse que estava conectado com uma Ordem da Rosacruz de Toulouse, dirigida por FIRMIN BOISSIN. Stanislas de Guaita teve como secretario a OSWALD WIRTH, conhecido por publicar varias e importantes obras esotéricas. Guaita escreveu, sendo muito jovem, vários livros ocultistas: Em 1886 publicou "Ensaios das Ciências Malditas" e "No Umbral del Mistério". Em 1891 seu "Templo de Satán" e em 1897 a "Chave da Magia Negra". Ao morrer deixou uma obra inacabada "O Problema do Mal", que seria publicada recentemente em 1950 e graças as notas de seu secretario Wirth. Em 1888 Stanislas de Guaita, com a idade de 27 anos, fundou a "Ordem Kabalística da Rosacruz", dirigida por um Conselho Supremo, composto por doze membros. Se conhece o nome de vários deles: Stanislas de Guaita, como Chefe Supremo; PAPUS (Gerard Encausse) restaurador do Martinismo; F.Barlet; Josephin Péladan que se separaria da Ordem Kabalística en 1890 para fundar a Ordem de la Rose+Croix; o abade Alta, cujo verdadeiro nome era Mélinge, cura de Morigny, na dioceses de Versailles, Paul Adam, Gabrol y Thoron. Mais tarde se uniram a eles Marc Haven (doutor Lalande) (1868-1926), Paul Sédir (Yvon Le Loup), Agustín Chaboseau, Lucien Chamuel e Maurice Barrès.

  • Brugairolles, Victor
    Victor Brugairolles, Le Berger et la Mer (The Shepherd and the Sea) Ganges 1869 – 1936 Paris oil on canvas 51 1/8 by 77 1/8 inches (130 by 196 cm) signed and dated lower right: ‘V. Brugairolles. 95’ provenance: Private collection France; Sale, Coutau-Bégarie, Paris, June 4, 1999, no. 121; Piasa, Paris, June 22, 2001, no. 36; Private collection, Italy exhibited: Salon de la Société des Artistes Français, Paris, 1900, no. 204. note: Brugairolles came from the southern Languedoc region of France and went as a young man to Paris to study with the academic master Fernand Cormon (1845-1924) at the École des Beaux- Arts. He began exhibiting at the Salon in 1894, and was primarily a painter of picturesque landscapes in France and Holland notable for their luminous effects of diffused light on land and water (figs. 1a-f). Occasionally he depicted rural subjects (fig. 2), but only very rarely did he paint sensual figural subjects in fantastic colors which recalled his training with Cormon (figs. 3a-b). The present painting is truly a unique masterpiece in his career and owes a clear debt to the ethereal, arcadian and mythic subjects of the older painter Pierre Puvis de Chavannes and his younger symbolist followers like Alphonse Osbert (1857-1939), who was also a student of Cormon. The title provided for this painting at the Salon of 1900 was Le Berger et la Mer (The Shepherd and the Sea), and all educated Frenchmen would have recognized this as referring to one of the well-known fables of the popular seventeenth-century writer La Fontaine.1 It tells the tale of a prosperous shepherd who lived by the sea, but who decided to sell his flock and becoming a merchant sent his fortune off on a ship.

Slavkin: Statistically Speaking: Central Exhibitors at the Salons of the Rose + Croix Nineteenth-Century Art Worldwide 14, no. 3 (Autumn 2015) Statistically Speaking: Central Exhibitors at the Salons of the Rose + Croix by Mary Slavkin The salons of the Rose + Croix were founded by the novelist, playwright, and critic Joséphin Péladan (1858–1918). The series of six exhibitions, held between 1892 and 1897, included works by hundreds of artists.[1] While some of them, like Fernand Khnopff (1858–1921), are well-known today, many others have been largely forgotten, and a few have yet to be identified. Although most exhibitors were male (female participation was officially forbidden), there were a few women among them.[2] The salons attracted artists working in different styles and featured artworks with a wide range of mystical, idealized, and literary themes and subjects—as well as a few decorative works, landscapes, and portraits. Finally, a number of works shown at the salon were by artists from the Middle Ages or the Renaissance; they had been lent by collectors sympathetic to Péladan’s initiative.[3] In scholarly accounts of the Rose + Croix salons, opinions differ dramatically as to who were the artists that set the tone for the exhibitions.
