CONNERY PISSARRO SEYDOUX The Latest Market Trends in Impressionist & Modern Art February 2015, London The first auctions of the year provide an important indication of the market’s health and the key trends that can be expected in the year ahead. As the first 2015 Impressionist & Modern Art auction season closes, please find below our latest observations on the state of the market, our insights into how the public auctions relate to private sales, and a summary of the auctions, their highlights, and our takeaways. MARKET TRENDS - Monet: Monet continued to lead this season with strong prices across the board. A world record price was achieved for a Venice view when Le Grand Canal sold at Sotheby’s for £23.7 million ($35.8 million), almost three times the amount it achieved when last sold in November 2005. Although a record, the Monet was sold at the low estimate to the guarantor on a single bid. While demand for Monet remains strong, high estimates could discourage bidders and impact the market in sales to come. - Impressionism: Good results were seen for Impressionism in general, and notably for Sisley and Renoir, for whom interest was more subdued throughout 2014. Bright and decorative subjects remain the driving force of the Impressionist market. - Late Miró Paintings: Phenomenal prices were achieved for late Miró paintings. Painting, dated 1950, sold at Christie’s for £15.5 million ($23.6 million), the third highest price paid at auction for a Miró, and the record price for a post-1920s Miró. The earlier works, traditionally favored by the market, failed to raise the same interest, possibly due to bare canvas backgrounds being less commercial than blue or white ones. -

Mere Exposure, Reproduction, and the Impressionist Canon
1 To appear in Partisan Canons, Anna Brzyski (ed.), Duke University Press. Mere Exposure, Reproduction, and the Impressionist Canon James Cutting Every act of writing or curatorial practice, whenever it gets to the point of naming a name, is participating in a certain level of canon formation, no matter what the intent of its author, no matter whether it represents a challenge to the status quo or a confirmation of it. Russell Ferguson1 It has been said that canons are the “legitimating backbone of cultural and political identity.”2 They are also the bread and butter of what is taught in the humanities, and in art they are what the general public flocks to see. Art museums and art historians feature canonical images. They reproduce them in great quantity such that these images are now seen in greater numbers, and by greater proportions, of people than ever before. Blockbuster exhibits guarantee continuing links among particular images, publicity, and capital—both cultural and otherwise. But what exactly are the contents of a given canon? How do we determine which works are canonical? And how did they attain that status? In an attempt to answer these questions, I will focus on the canon of French Impressionism, and argue that canons are cultural constructs created, in part, through repeated reproduction and exposure. That is, following the epigraph of Russell Ferguson, curator at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, I claim that art historians have been complicitous in the formation and maintenance of the Impressionist canon, and that over decades their wares have fed a sustaining public whose opinions, along with those of art historians themselves, have crystallized and now drag heavily against systematic change.3 There are several reasons for choosing French Impressionism as a case study. -

Perspectives on the Académie
PERSPECTIVES ON THE ACADÉMIE LA LETTRE DE L’ACADÉMIE NUMBER 91 1 | | 2 Editorial | As we were editing this special issue of the Lettre de l’Académie des Beaux-Arts presenting our Compagnie’s activities and heritage, the Wednesday 15 January 2020 election of Catherine Meurisse to the Painting section further broadened the spectrum of disciplines it embraces. This young artist, elected at the age of 39, became the youngest member not only of our Académie but of the entire Institut de France. With her, we welcome comics – often referred to as the Ninth Art – as well the art of press cartooning. Sixty years thus separate Catherine Meurisse from our beloved oldest member, Pierre-Yves Trémois. This election is yet another demonstration the extraordinary diversity of aesthetics and means of expression found within each section of the Académie de Beaux-Arts. Catherine Meurisse, an artist whose path has been rich and open to life, but also tragic, knows that she will join women and men committed to supporting creation and defending our artistic heritage. As you will see in the following pages, our Compagnie makes full use of the means available to encourage the emergence of new talent while affording an ever wider public access to the magnificent works and sites in its care. And to salute the election of our young colleague, a future issue of the Lettre de l’Académie will be devoted to the teeming world of comics. Need one still say that it is an art in its own right, with its techniques and codes, its major trends and collectors and a considerable public: an art that has been shown in major exhibitions at the Centre Pompidou and elsewhere? It would be as ridiculous as wanting to engage in a defence and illustration of cinema. -

Copyright by Jason Alan Goldstein 2017 The Dissertation Committee for Jason Alan Goldstein Certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Translating Art into Words: The Work of Claude Monet in the Writings of Gustave Geffroy and Octave Mirbeau Committee: Richard Shiff, Supervisor Michael Charlesworth Kurt Heinzelman Linda Dalrymple Henderson Alexandra Wettlaufer Translating Art into Words: The Work of Claude Monet in the Writings of Gustave Geffroy and Octave Mirbeau by Jason Alan Goldstein Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin December 2017 Dedication To my parents Acknowledgements In these rather uncertain times, I consider myself particularly fortunate to devote my life to the study and teaching of art and literature. Careful looking and close reading slow down our frenetic pace and encourage creative thought. I have found few things more rewarding than spending an unbroken hour in front of one of Claude Monet’s magnificent canvases. Experiencing Monet through the eyes and words of two of his staunchest critical supporters Gustave Geffroy and Octave Mirbeau has enriched my understanding of his paintings in ways I never could have imagined. I would have lacked the means to complete a project of this nature without the following magnanimous individuals and institutions. The libraries and the remarkable people who keep them running at the University of Texas at Austin deserve a great deal of credit for my ability to research and write this dissertation. -
