Charming refinements ruled manners and tastes throughout the eighteenth cen­ tury until, with the monarchy, they were overthrown and re­ placed by the austere classicism of Napoleon's Empire. Eighteenth-century art­ ists, many of whom de­ pended upon royal pa­ tronage, were masters at recording and popu­ larizing the balls and banquets, the theatrical per­ formances, the hunts and picnics that were the daily distractions of a pleasure-hungry court. Highly creative and receptive to a wide range of subject matter these artists found inspiration as readily on OF THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY Mount Olympus as in the shepherd's bower or the rococo drawing room. A shift in interest from the lives of gods and heroes to the pleasures of contemporary life, particularly the delights of the privileged classes, is evident in the estampes galantes, elaborately engraved after designs by Moreau Le Jeune, Baudouin, and Lavreince. They are the most illuminating documents of aristocratic manners, of costume, and of the decoration of houses and palaces. These documents of not acquire original drawings.

    Rueil-Malmaison ville d’aujourd’hui, parfum d’Empire. Guide du patrimoine touristique Tourist heritage guide Édito Il est des villes chargées d’histoire… Modernes, dynamiques, tournées vers l’avenir, elles ont cependant conservé l’empreinte de leur passé. Rueil-Malmaison est de celles-ci… Marquée par la présence de Napoléon Bonaparte et de son épouse Joséphine qui vécurent au Château de Malmaison plusieurs années de bonheur, puis terre d’accueil, pour l’éternité, de la sépulture de l’lmpératrice à l’église Saint-Pierre Saint-Paul, Rueil-Malmaison est, à ce titre, une ville impériale, riche de son passé. Mais la fin du XIXe siècle a su également laisser à Rueil d’autres témoignages de son histoire. Ce fut l’époque des guinguettes, du canotage sur la Seine et de la venue de peintres célèbres tels que Renoir, Manet ou Monet, qui immortalisèrent ces paysages sur leurs toiles pour faire désormais, de nos rives, la porte d’entrée du Pays des Impressionnistes. Aujourd’hui, le Parc Naturel Urbain de 650 hectares permet de découvrir sur près de 10 km, depuis la forêt domaniale de Malmaison jusqu’aux rives de la Seine, des paysages naturels exceptionnels, bien loin de toute agitation urbaine. Il ne me reste plus qu’à vous inviter à découvrir toute la richesse et la diversité de notre patrimoine dans les pages qui suivent et je vous souhaite, d’ores et déjà, un excellent séjour à Rueil-Malmaison !

  • Renoir, Impressionism, and Full-Length Painting
    FIRST COMPREHENSIVE STUDY OF RENOIR’S FULL-LENGTH CANVASES BRINGS TOGETHER ICONIC WORKS FROM EUROPE AND THE U.S. FOR AN EXCLUSIVE NEW YORK CITY EXHIBITION RENOIR, IMPRESSIONISM, AND FULL-LENGTH PAINTING February 7 through May 13, 2012 This winter and spring The Frick Collection presents an exhibition of nine iconic Impressionist paintings by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, offering the first comprehensive study of the artist’s engagement with the full-length format. Its use was associated with the official Paris Salon from the mid-1870s to mid- 1880s, the decade that saw the emergence of a fully fledged Impressionist aesthetic. The project was inspired by Renoir’s La Promenade of 1875–76, the most significant Impressionist work in the Frick’s permanent collection. Intended for public display, the vertical grand-scale canvases in the exhibition are among the artist’s most daring and ambitious presentations of contemporary subjects and are today considered masterpieces of Impressionism. The show and accompanying catalogue draw on contemporary criticism, literature, and archival documents to explore the motivation behind Renoir’s full-length figure paintings as well as their reception by critics, peers, and the public. Recently-undertaken technical studies of the canvases will also shed new light on the artist’s working methods. Works on loan from international institutions are La Parisienne from Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841–1919), Dance at Bougival, 1883, oil on canvas, 71 5/8 x 38 5/8 inches, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Picture Fund; photo: © 2012 Museum the National Museum Wales, Cardiff; The Umbrellas (Les Parapluies) from The of Fine Arts, Boston National Gallery, London (first time since 1886 on view in the United States); and Dance in the City and Dance in the Country from the Musée d’Orsay, Paris.

  • Jacques-Louis David: in Quest of a Hero
    YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY CALIFORNIA ART CLUB NEWSLETTER Jacques-Louis David: In Quest of a Hero by Elaine Adams rphaned at nine, esteemed artist by thirty- Othree, execution judge at forty-five and exiled at sixty-eight; Jacques-Louis David’s (1748–1825) life was led on a tumultuous path while he searched for a paradigm of virtue. When David was only nine his garrulous father, Louis-Maurice, a prominent Parisian merchant, was challenged to a pistol duel and killed. Little is known of David’s mother Marie-Geneviève Buron, except that after she became a widow she deposited her son in the care of her two brothers. David’s uncles, François Buron (1731–1818) and Jacques-François Desmaisons (c. 1720–1789) were both master masons and architects; Desmaisons was a member of the Royal Academy of Architecture and worked for King Louis XVI. His uncles, as well as his aunt Marie- Josephe and cousin Marie-Francoise all recognized young David’s natu- ral skills for drawing and encour- aged his talent by posing for him. David’s education began at the Collège des Quatre Nations in Paris, but he was an unhappy pupil. He later wrote, “I hated school. The masters always beating us with sticks and worse. I was always hid- ing behind the instructors’ chair, Jacques-Louis David drawing for the duration of the Bonaparte Crossing the Alps at Grand-Saint-Bernard, 1800-01 class.” David’s uncles decided to Oil on canvas 103Љ ϫ 87Љ send him to the medieval painter’s Collection of Musée National des Châteaux de Malmaison et Bois-Préau, guild Académie de Saint-Luc for Reuil-Malmaison drawing classes.

  • Historians of Nineteenth-Century Art Newsletter
    SPRING 2012 Volume 19, No. 1 Historians of Nineteenth-Century Art Newsletter LES GRANDES VERTICALES: RENOIR AT THE FRICK COLLECTION By Caterina Y. Pierre This spring, visitors to the Frick Collection have the opportu- nity to view a small but splendid exhibition entitled “Renoir, Impressionism, and Full-Length Painting,” organized by Colin B. Bailey, the Frick’s Deputy Director and the Peter Jay Sharp Chief Curator. The exhibition, which runs through May 13, 2012, is accompanied by a sumptuous catalogue authored by Bailey and co-published by the Frick and Yale University Press (ISBN 978-0-300-18108-1, US $60.00). The exhibition takes an in-depth look at nine of Renoir’s large- scale, mostly vertical, canvases created over the nine-year pe- riod between 1874 and 1883. The catalogue includes a tenth painting, Jeanne Samary, a full-length portrait that was un- available for the exhibition. The inspiration for the exhibition seems to have stemmed from a recent reevaluation of the Frick’s own vertical for- mat canvas by Renoir, La Promenade (1875-76), acquired by Henry Clay Frick for $35,000 in 1914 from Knoedler and Company. Recent infrared reflectography studies completed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art have revealed two addi- tional figures at the top left of La Promenade, suggesting that the principle large female figure in the center of the painting, usually referred to as the “mother” figure, might now be seen as an older sister to the two foreground children. Similar re- search, particularly of the technological kind, was offered for many of the paintings on view through the catalogue and a small media room outside of the exhibition.
