Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; and the Musée du Louvre, Paris, Cast in Bronze: French Sculpture from Renaissance to Revolution is the first comprehensive exhibition to examine the art of the French bronze sculpture from the Renaissance until the end of the ancien régime, and the result of more than three decades of collaborative scholarship by the French Bronze Study Group.

During these years, sculptors sought to engage with the rapidly evolving conditions of modern society in order to ensure sculpture’s relevance and cultural authority. We will examine the fate of the figurative tradition in the work of such sculptors as Carpeaux, Rodin, Leighton, Hildebrand, Degas, Claudel, and Vigeland. In turn, we will evaluate these developments in relation to the emergence of a self-conscious sculptural modernism in the work of such artists as Maillol, Matisse, Brancusi, Gaudier-Brzeska, and Picasso. In addition to a history of three-dimensional representation in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries, this course will also introduce the critical vocabularies used to evaluate sculpture and its history. s t r u c t u r e o f t h e c o u r s e Each hour session will consist of lectures and discussions of images, texts, and course themes.

National Museums in France Felicity Bodenstein Summary Since the opening of the Muséum du Louvre in 1793, France has developed an important network of state funded national museums, the majority of which are dedicated to art historical displays. This is especially the case for the majority of museums run by the Réunion des musées nationaux, a network that manages the largest group of national museums in France. It is striking that, at any given time throughout the country’s history, some of the most important creations of national museums came about as a direct result of the personal initiative and implication of the country’s leaders, whether they were kings, emperors or presidents. This proves the extent to which the museum was, and is, in France, an explicitly national enterprise of great political prestige and symbolic value. National museums have, since the Revolution, been a strong factor in the French nation building process and a clear definition of their administration, in terms of central state ownership, provides the best frame for their identification. The Louvre, which obviously stands out as France’s most important national museum, may best be defined as a ‘Universal Museum’ and thus as a reflection of the Enlightenment philosophy that greatly influenced the French Revolution, and the political agenda behind the establishment of the museum itself.

By FLORENCE QUIDEAU Dissertation Director: Professor Susan Sidlauskas This dissertation repositions the place of four Romantic artists within the current discussion of Modern sculpture. Today, Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux has displaced Auguste Rodin’s paramount place as the first Modern sculptor. The dynamism, suppleness, truthful movements, appropriate gestures, and accuracy of Carpeaux’s sculptures are considered the epitome of Modernist sculpture. This analysis argues that the portrait- busts and sculpted caricatures of Jean-Pierre Dantan (called Dantan-Jeune), Pierre-Jean David (called David d’Angers), Auguste Préault, and Honoré Daumier exemplified audacious artistic changes made thirty years before Carpeaux. These four artists showed a distinct rejection of formal portraiture and the values of artistic decorum by creating an
