Camille Pissarro's Jardinière (1884-1885) in the Context of His INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again-beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For illustrations that cannot be satisfactorily reproduced by xerographic means, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and inserted into your xerographic copy. These prints are available upon request from the Dissertations Customer Services Department. 5. Some pages in any document may have indistinct print. In all cases the best available copy has been filmed. University Microfilms International 300 N.

  • Félix Fénéon, “Neo-Impressionism” (1887) I. Impressionism, Merely
    Félix Fénéon, “Neo-Impressionism” (1887) I. Impressionism, merely latent in Turner and Delacroix (the Chapel of the Holy Angels at Saint- Sulpice), tried to turn itself into a system under Edouard Manet, MM. Camille Pissarro, Renoir, Claude Monet, Sisley, Cezanne and Ludovic Piette. These painters are distinguished by their extraordinary sensitivity to their own reactions to color, by a tendency to decompose tones, and by their attempts to imbue their canvases with intense light: In their choice of subjects, they proscribe history, anecdote and dream, and, as their working method, they promote rapid and direct execution from nature: If we want the word “Impressionism” to have any reasonably precise meaning, we have to reserve this term for the “luminists” alone: This immediately eliminates Miss Mary Cassatt, MM. Degas, Forain and Raffaelli, whom a mistaken public included under the same heading as MM. Camille Pissarro and Claude Monet: although it is true that all of them sought the sincere expression of modern life, scorned the traditions of the schools, and exhibited together. Let us recall the first Impressionist exhibitions: Given the innate stupidity of the public, the idea of choosing between well-finished paintings and wild daubings left them dumbfounded: They found it crazy that a color should produce its complementary, ultramarine giving yellow, red giving blue-green, since all the most learned Physicists would have affirmed in scholarly tones that the definitive effect of darkening all the colors of the spectrum is virtually

  • 16 Exhibition on Screen
    Exhibition on Screen - The Impressionists – And the Man Who Made Them 2015, Run Time 97 minutes An eagerly anticipated exhibition travelling from the Musee d'Orsay Paris to the National Gallery London and on to the Philadelphia Museum of Art is the focus of the most comprehensive film ever made about the Impressionists. The exhibition brings together Impressionist art accumulated by Paul Durand-Ruel, the 19th century Parisian art collector. Degas, Manet, Monet, Pissarro, Renoir, and Sisley, are among the artists that he helped to establish through his galleries in London, New York and Paris. The exhibition, bringing together Durand-Ruel's treasures, is the focus of the film, which also interweaves the story of Impressionism and a look at highlights from Impressionist collections in several prominent American galleries.

  • Baudelaire and the Rival of Nature: the Conflict Between Art and Nature in French Landscape Painting
    BAUDELAIRE AND THE RIVAL OF NATURE: THE CONFLICT BETWEEN ART AND NATURE IN FRENCH LANDSCAPE PAINTING _______________________________________________________________ A Thesis Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board _______________________________________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF ARTS _______________________________________________________________ By Juliette Pegram January 2012 _______________________ Dr. Therese Dolan, Thesis Advisor, Department of Art History Tyler School of Art, Temple University ABSTRACT The rise of landscape painting as a dominant genre in nineteenth century France was closely tied to the ongoing debate between Art and Nature. This conflict permeates the writings of poet and art critic Charles Baudelaire. While Baudelaire scholarship has maintained the idea of the poet as a strict anti-naturalist and proponent of the artificial, this paper offers a revision of Baudelaire‟s relation to nature through a close reading across his critical and poetic texts. The Salon reviews of 1845, 1846 and 1859, as well as Baudelaire‟s Journaux Intimes, Les Paradis Artificiels and two poems that deal directly with the subject of landscape, are examined. The aim of this essay is to provoke new insights into the poet‟s complex attitudes toward nature and the art of landscape painting in France during the middle years of the nineteenth century. i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am indebted to Dr. Therese Dolan for guiding me back to the subject and writings of Charles Baudelaire. Her patience and words of encouragement about the writing process were invaluable, and I am fortunate to have had the opportunity for such a wonderful writer to edit and review my work. I would like to thank Dr.

  • UTHRO Presents… France Culinary Delight from Paris to Normandy
    UTHRO Presents… France Culinary Delight From Paris to Normandy A landmark of Vernon, the old mill, straddles two piers of the ancient building on the Seine. Day 4 of our cruise finds us in Vernon. After a fabulous breakfast aboard the ms River Venture, we start our morning with a Vantage guided tour of the area. The tour will include the cities of Vernon and Giverny (Monet’s Gardens and Home). After the completion of our guided tour, we will have the rest of the day to leisurely explore Vernon and Giverny. Let’s start with Vernon. Vernon is located on the Seine between Paris and Rouen and at the entrance to Normandy. It is also next door to Giverny, the famous village of painter Claude Monet. Vernon is an ancient town as attested by prehistorical Celtic, Galo-Roman and Mervingian remains. It became an important military town after the foundation of the Duchy of Normandy. Philippe Au- guste built the Tourelles (turrets) castle of Vernon in 1196 to defend the city. Today, the remains of the stronghold consist of four towers and a keep. Claude Monet immortalized many of the Vernon’s landmarks in his paintings. Vernon, today, is a small town with a web of delight- ful old streets. The oldest part of the town is around the Collegiate Church Norte-Dame. The building of the Collegiate Church Norte-Dame was started in the 11th Century but was not completed until the 17th Century. The style is mostly Gothic. The church was dedicated in 1072 “to the Holy Mother of God,” thus the name Norte-Dame (our lady).

Department of Fine Arts The University of British Columbia 1956 Main Mall Vancouver, Canada V6T 1Y3 Date October, 1988 DE-6(3/81) ABSTRACT The Neo-Orientalism of Matisse's The Blue Nude (Souvenir of Biskra), and Picasso's Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, both of 1907, exists in the similarity of the extreme distortion of the female form and defines the different meanings attached to these "ugly" women relative to distinctive notions of erotic and exotic imagery. To understand Neo-Orientalism, that is, 19th century Orientalist concepts which were filtered through Primitivism in the 20th century, the racial, sexual and class antagonisms of the period, which not only influenced attitudes towards erotic and exotic imagery, but also defined and categorized humanity, must be considered in their historical context.

  • My Dearest Watercolourists, I Hope You Are Doing Well. I Could Not Miss The
    My dearest watercolourists, I hope you are doing well. I could not miss the occasion to share some beautiful winter landscapes with you, so for this week’s newsletter we will look at Pissarro’s work! One of the Impressionist artists mentioned two weeks ago, Camille Pissarro was a Danish-French Impressionist and Neo-Impressionist painter born on the island of St Thomas (now in the US Virgin Islands, but then in the Danish West Indies). Pissarro was the oldest of the Impressionist group and a figure younger artists were looking up to. For example, artist Paul Cézanne said "he was a father for me. A man to consult and a little like the good Lord". What is revolutionary about Pissarro’s work is his profound interest in illustrating realist portraits of peasants and workers, the common folk. He decided to approach his subjects without artificial embellishments, in their common setting. For today I chose only wintery landscapes, but I highly encourage you to explore more of Pissarro’s work. Simply google ‘Camille Pissarro- paining ’ and enjoy! You will not be disappointed. Let’s have a look! Below there are three landscapes. The first one is probably the most interesting. It is a cityscape with a very unusual perspective and viewpoint. It shows what would be a fairly high-class part of the city- The Avenue de L'Opera, Paris. However, the moment chosen, the morning, as well as the perspective present a very different demography. What do you think about these choices? The next two images are winter countryside landscapes inhabited by solitary peasant figures.

  • The Challenges of French Impressionism in Great Britain
    Crossing the Channel: The Challenges of French Impressionism in Great Britain By Catherine Cheney Senior Honors Thesis Department of Art History University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill April 8, 2016 Approved: 1 Introduction: French Impressionism in England As Impressionism spread throughout Europe in the late nineteenth century, the movement took hold in the British art community and helped to change the fundamental ways in which people viewed and collected art. Impressionism made its debut in London in 1870 when Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, and Paul Durand-Ruel sought safe haven in London during the Franco- Prussian war. The two artists created works of London landscapes done in the new Impressionist style. Paul Durand-Ruel, a commercial dealer, marketed the Impressionist works of these two artists and of the other Impressionist artists that he brought over from Paris. The movement was officially organized for the First Impressionist Exhibition in 1874 in Paris, but the initial introduction in London laid the groundwork for promoting this new style throughout the international art world. This thesis will explore, first, the cultural transformations of London that allowed for the introduction of Impressionism as a new style in England; second, the now- famous Thames series that Monet created in the 1890s and notable exhibitions held in London during the time; and finally, the impact Impressionism had on private collectors and adding Impressionist works to the national collections. With the exception of Edouard Manet, who met with success at the Salon in Paris over the years and did not exhibit with the Impressionists, the modern artists were not received well.

Shiff Rediscovering Maurice Maeterlinck and His Significance for Modern Art by Laura Kathleen Valeri, BA Thesis 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 Master of Arts The University of Texas at Austin May 2011 Abstract Rediscovering Maurice Maeterlinck and His Significance for Modern Art Laura Kathleen Valeri, MA The University of Texas at Austin, 2011 Supervisor: Linda D. Henderson This thesis examines the impact of Maurice Maeterlinck’s ideas on modern artists. Maeterlinck's poetry, prose, and early plays explore inherently Symbolist issues, but a closer look at his works reveals a departure from the common conception of Symbolism. Most Symbolists adhered to correspondence theory, the idea that the external world within the reach of the senses consisted merely of symbols that reflected a higher, objective reality hidden from humans. Maeterlinck rarely mentioned symbols, instead claiming that quiet contemplation allowed him to gain intuitions of a subjective, truer reality. Maeterlinck’s use of ambiguity and suggestion to evoke personal intuitions appealed not only to nineteenth-century Symbolist artists like Édouard Vuillard, but also to artists in pre-World War I Paris, where a strong Symbolist current continued. Maeterlinck’s ideas also offered a parallel to the theories of Henri Bergson, embraced by the Puteaux Cubists Jean Metzinger and Albert Gleizes.
