This led to a large and intense debate, reported in detail in the press, which came to be known as the ‘Querelle des Indépendants’. It was started by an open letter of the artist Fernand Léger (1881-1955) in the magazine Montparnasse, published on 1 December 1923. Léger was one of the fiercest opponents of the decision to introduce a nation-based installation, and decided to leave the committee.1 Another French painter, André Lhote (1885-1962), also disagreed with the decision, but published his choice to retain his place on the committee, as he believed he could achieve more for his comrades if he stayed on.2 The Bulletin de la vie artistique decided to devote a questionnaire to the affair, asking artists to give their opinion on the committee’s decision. In a total of four different issues, released in January and February 1924, a large selection of these responses by artists was published. First the reactions of artists of the committee were printed, followed by letters of foreign artists and concluded by the opinions of French artists. The Bulletin de la vie artistique opened the discussion on December 15, 1923 by publishing an account of the reasons behind the committee’s decision. The author Guillaume Jeanneau defended the decision and wrote: ‘Jusqu’à présent, sur les mêmes cimaises, nos hôtes voisinaient avec nous. Mais nos hôtes se sont multipliés; ils nous submergent quasiment et le mélange est si confus des formules diverses que la leçon générale du salon s’en trouve dénaturée. Le comité des Indépendants veut changer tout cela. Il a pris la décision qui s’imposait: le placement par nationalité. La majorité des artistes, les étrangers comme les Français, n’y virent point malice.’3 His argument raises several issues concerning national art, cultural métissage (‘le mélange est si confus des formules diverses’), degeneration (‘dénaturée’), the perception of the other (framed by Jeanneau as ‘nos hôtes’) and foreign domination. Jeanneau clearly invokes a divide and opposition between the French (‘nous’) and foreign (‘ils’) artists, accusing the Other of active ‘invasion’. He also reflected on the nature and constitution of the Salon des Indépendants, and stated that it was flooded by foreign art (‘ils nous submergent’). This ‘flooding’ of the Salon des Indépendants was a recurring concern in the responses, and art criticism in general, and not only explained in 1 Maingon 2014: 310. 2 Bulletin de la vie artistique, 1 January 1924: 13. 3 Bulletin de la vie artistique, 15 December 1923: 517. 5 xenophobic terms. Artists and critics complained that the Salon des Indépendants had turned into a bazaar full of mediocrity, just like the official Salons were attacked during the nineteenth century. The connection of the Salon to a bazaar carried commercial implications, and invoked the growing concerns over the commodification of art. Several artists accused the committee of commercial interests that had inspired their decision. The French artist Yves Alexis wrote: ‘Les motifs commerciaux qu’on invoque pour justifier cette mesure (attraction, intérêt nouveau) ne me paraissent guère solides (…) il ne faut point oublier que nous ne sommes pas entreprise commerciale, comme le voudraient certains, mais avant tout société d’artistes et de camarades.’4 Ossip Zadkine warned that ‘ce geste du Comité sera très, très mal interprété par les collectionneurs étrangers.’5 Another foreign artist, the Dutch painter Kees van Dongen, concealed his critique on the concept of art as a commodity and decoration in irony: ‘(…) nous sommes tout à fait de l’avis du Comité Directeur et de Messieurs les Actionnaires des Grands Magasins des Indépendants au sujet du mode de placement des articles étrangers. Par la même occasion, nous prenons la liberté de vous dire que nous avons actuellement dans nos magasins un stock de très jolis sujets (garantis fabrication française) pour salons, salles à manger, cuisines, offices, écuries, etc. qui constituent des cadeaux utiles à des prix défiant toute concurrence.’ His closing was full of mockery: ‘Espérant être favorisés par vos ordres, nous vous prions, Monsieur, d’agréer nos salutations tellement distinguées que nous en sommes nous-mêmes étonnés. VAN DONGEN, Registre du Commerce Seine n˚000.000.’6 This ‘registre du commerce’ was established in 1919, and registered French and foreign commercial enterprises and individuals. By referring to this register, which in reality did not record artists, Van Dongen embroidered on his implications that artists were positioned as merchants selling their articles made to order. The minimal number of his invented registration seems to imply that Van Dongen presented himself as a nonentity, as he was of foreign origin, bringing the nationalistic issue back into play.

The Tension Between Artistic Autonomy and Social Engagement in Les Temps Nouveaux, 1896–1903 Laura Prins HCM 4 (1): 92–126 DOI: 10.18352/hcm.505 Abstract Between 1896 and 1903, Jean Grave, editor of the anarchist journal Les Temps Nouveaux, published an artistic album of original prints, with the collaboration of (avant-garde) artists and illustrators. While anar- chist theorists, including Grave, summoned artists to create social art, which had to be didactic and accessible to the working classes, artists wished to emphasize their autonomous position instead. Even though Grave requested ‘absolutely artistic’ prints in the case of this album, artists had difficulties with creating something for him, trying to com- bine their social engagement with their artistic autonomy. The artistic album appears to have become a compromise of the debate between the anarchist theorists and artists with anarchist sympathies. Keywords: anarchism, France, Neo-Impressionism, nineteenth century, original print Introduction While the Neo-Impressionist painter Paul Signac (1863–1935) was preparing for a lecture in 1902, he wrote, ‘Justice in sociology, har- mony in art: same thing’.1 Although Signac never officially published the lecture, his words have frequently been cited by scholars since the 1960s, who claim that they illustrate the widespread modern idea that any revolutionary avant-garde artist automatically was revolutionary in 92 HCM 2016, VOL.

  • 1 Tomasz Dziewicki University of Warsaw Intensivism As a Tool of An
    III. International Forum for doctoral candidates in East European art history, Berlin, 29th April 2016, organized by the Chair of Art History of Eastern and East Central Europe, Humboldt University Berlin Tomasz Dziewicki University of Warsaw XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Intensivism as a Tool of an Art Historian In 1897 in Warsaw, the art critic, Cezary Jellenta, published in a weekly magazine "Głos" the article titled Intensivism. This article in its times did not influence on a polish art, but nowadays a category of intensivism created by Jellenta can be seen as an useable tool from the point of view a art historian. Jellenta noticed in his article a new trend in painting of the end of the century. In his mind modern art turned to a subjective way of perception of reality. Presentation of ordinary objects and phenomena, which are known by a viewer, in work of art tends to experience them anew. The art critic maintained a role of personal experience of powers of nature through a painting and the fact that this power may be embodied with the soul of an artist. At the beginning of his paper he refered to anachronistic examples of Andreas Achenbach's and Anders Zorn's work but also pointed out Arnold Böcklin, Władysław Podkowiński or Józef Pankiewicz as founders of the new movement. Jellenta paid attention to a modern composition, simplification and painting synthesis, which enable to express reality better and deeper. He applies a category, separated plastically and semantically from a representation, of main motif , which, as Jellenta wrote, "tunes our soul". In fact it is an attempt to transfer the music theory of Leitmotif by Richard Wagner on the ground of the painting.

  • Jean METZINGER (Nantes 1883 - Paris 1956)
    Jean METZINGER (Nantes 1883 - Paris 1956) The Yellow Feather (La Plume Jaune) Pencil on paper. Signed and dated Metzinger 12 in pencil at the lower left. 315 x 231 mm. (12 3/8 x 9 1/8 in.) The present sheet is closely related to Jean Metzinger’s large painting The Yellow Feather, a seminal Cubist canvas of 1912, which is today in an American private collection. The painting was one of twelve works by Metzinger included in the Cubist exhibition at the Salon de La Section d’Or in 1912. One of the few paintings of this period to be dated by the artist, The Yellow Feather is regarded by scholars as a touchstone of Metzinger’s early Cubist period. Drawn with a precise yet sensitive handling of fine graphite on paper, the drawing repeats the multifaceted, fragmented planes of the face in the painting, along with the single staring eye, drawn as a simple curlicue. The Yellow Feather was one of several Cubist paintings depicting women in fashionable clothes, and with ostrich feathers in their hats, which were painted by Metzinger in 1912 and 1913. Provenance: alerie Hopkins-Thomas, Paris Private collection, Saint-Germain-en-Laye, until 2011. Literature: Jean-Paul Monery, Les chemins de cubisme, exhibition catalogue, Saint-Tropez, 1999, illustrated pp.134-135; Anisabelle Berès and Michel Arveiller, Au temps des Cubistes, 1910-1920, exhibition catalogue, Paris, 2006, pp.428-429, no.180. Artist description: Trained in the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Nantes, Jean Metzinger sent three paintings to the Salon des Indépendants in 1903 and, having sold them, soon thereafter settled in Paris.

  • Artists at Play Natalia Erenburg, Iakov Tugendkhold, and the Exhibition of Russian Folk Art at the “Salon D’Automne” of 1913
    Experiment 25 (2019) 328-345 brill.com/expt Artists at Play Natalia Erenburg, Iakov Tugendkhold, and the Exhibition of Russian Folk Art at the “Salon d’Automne” of 1913 Anna Winestein Executive Director, Ballets Russes Arts Initiative, and Associate, Davis Center at Harvard University and Center for the Study of Europe at Boston University [email protected] Abstract The exhibition of Russian folk art at the Paris “Salon d’Automne” of 1913 has been gen- erally overlooked in scholarship on folk art, overshadowed by the “All-Russian Kustar Exhibitions” and the Moscow avant-garde gallery shows of the same year. This article examines the contributions of its curator, Natalia Erenburg, and the project’s instiga- tor, Iakov Tugendkhold, who wrote the catalogue essay and headed the committee— both of whom were artists who became critics, historians, and collectors. The article elucidates the show’s rationale and selection of exhibits, the critical response to it and its legacy. It also discusses the artistic circles of Russian Paris in which the project origi- nated, particularly the Académie russe. Finally, it examines the project in the context of earlier efforts to present Russian folk art in Paris, and shows how it—and Russian folk art as a source and object of collecting and display—brought together artists, collec- tors, and scholars from the ranks of the Mir iskusstva [World of Art] group, as well as the younger avant-gardists, and allowed them to engage Parisian and European audi- ences with their own ideas and artworks. Keywords “Salon d’Automne” – Natalia Erenburg – Iakov Tugendkhold – Russian folk art – Paris – Mir iskusstva – Mikhail Larionov – Academie russe Overshadowed by both the “All-Russian Kustar Exhibitions” of 1902 and 1913 in St.

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.
