Susan Harrow ZOLA Zola: Colorist, Abstractionist Susan Harrow ZOLA: COLORIST, ABSTRACTIONIST anet’s pools of glossy black, Mallarmé’s spaces of absolute white, Whis- Mtler’s liquid blues and silvers . .1 The work of Zola’s contemporaries drives the search for pure color, spurred by the desire to attenuate, abstract, or abolish the empirical referent. This abstractionist quality is integral to the inter- art project of the later nineteenth century, in particular the modern movement that forms in the wake of Baudelaire and Manet.2 The aesthetics of Whistler, Mallarmé, and Zola reveal a consonance of approach and sensibility in terms of color and abstractionism that traverses the boundaries between visual and textual media. The titles of Whistler’s paintings tend to subordinate subject matter and privilege the artist’s color work, evacuating the referent.3 Mallar- mé’s exploration of blanc and blankness takes forward a primarily monochro- matic project, while red, gold, and azure form the poet’s wider tonal palette: “L’Azur,” the poet’s frst major poem (Poèmes du “Parnasse contemporain” of 1866), intimates the desired horizon where the real is abolished and beauty reigns.4 Zola’s early essays on the painting of Manet (1866–68) illuminate 1. Manet’s blacks are central to his painting, emerging often in representations of clothing, male and female: Breakfast in the Studio: The Black Jacket, 1868; Berthe Morisot in Black Hat, 1872; and the barmaid’s dress in Un bar aux Folies-Bergère, 1882. At the time of writing, the exhibition “Manet in Black,” which focuses on Manet’s printmaking and graphic art, is taking place at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. In ekphrastic terms we think of Manet and Mallarmé’s collaboration over the translation-illustration of Edgar Allan Poe’s The Raven in 1875. 2. Joy Newton discusses Zola’s practice in terms of “interdisciplinary osmosis” (35). The key primary texts are, of course, Baudelaire’s “Salon de 1846” and “Le Peintre de la vie moderne” (1863). 3. I am thinking here of Whistler’s Symphony in White, No. 2, 1864; Arrangement in Grey and Black: Portrait of the Artist’s Mother, 1871; Symphony in Flesh Color and Pink: Portrait of Mrs. Frances Leyland, 1871–74; and Nocturne Blue and Gold: Old Battersea Bridge, 1872–75. Whistler insisted on the need for art to transcend representation and, in the process, free itself from affective, didactic, and anecdotal freight. For Whistler, the modern artwork stands in and for itself, generating value that is existential rather than representational. For a probing examination of Whistler’s aesthetic, see Dayan, chapter 1. 4. Mallarmé’s attention to the symbolic and plastic resonance of monochrome values is a structuring quality of his poetry and his poetics. See Abbott on the expressive The Romanic Review Volume 102 Numbers 3–4 © The Trustees of Columbia University 466 Susan Harrow the prismatic patch or the color trace that slips free of its referent: when Zola writes “[Manet] voit blond et il voit par masses” (Pour Manet 105), his very syntax enacts the fight from a subject (or subject matter) to style, echoing the abstractionist aesthetic that will develop across the arts in the latter part of the century. At the same time, Zola shapes our reading of the painting, driving our attention to color (“il voit blond”) and to abstractionism (“il voit par masses”) (105). By fltering his ideas so often in terms of color and abstract form, Zola performs in his writing on art a process analogous to the erasure of referential value in modern painting. Jean-Pierre Leduc-Adine identifes the shift from Naturalist nominalism to prismatic abstraction in his preface to Écrits sur l’art as a signal feature of Zola’s art writing, here with reference to Manet’s painting: “Tête, fond, vêtement, s’ils sont encore nommés, se métamorphosent en leur simple chromatisme” (24–25). In his introduction to Zola’s essays on Manet, Leduc-Adine observes, “[Zola] veut d’abord trouver les éléments form- els d’une nouvelle grammaire visuelle et picturale; tout tableau est d’abord une forme, une matérialité, et avant d’en étudier le sens, il étudie avec précision le système des couleurs,” and he highlights by way of example Zola’s careful nuancing of the whites in his appraisal of “Olympia” (Pour Manet 23). Later, when Zola is discussing Manet’s Le Linge (1875), the novelist underscores the painter’s insistence on color that is fragmented, fattened, and planal in the treatment of the central laundress fgure: “Les yeux sont représentés par deux plaques noires: le nez, les lèvres, sont réduits à de simples lignes roses” (Écrits sur l’art 349). As he foregrounds color and form in Manet’s painting, Zola develops a heuristic approach that draws the reader (and the viewer) into the material qualities of the artist’s work and begins to nurture the reader’s capac- ity for simultaneous focus on color and abstraction (or dissolution). More than this, when one medium (writing) transposes the processes of another (visual art), the intermedial capacity of both media is revealed as an urgent site of scholarly study. Yet, the potential of an intermedial approach may often go unnoticed or be neglected, as Henri Mitterand suggests when he identifes an unexpected relation between Zola, Manet, and Mallarmé: “Un même fl, inaperçu des critiques, et encore mal perçu aujourd’hui, unit L’Assommoir, Le Linge et L’Après-midi d’un faune, en dépit des différences de genres et de langages” (338). In this article I want to respond to the suggestiveness of Mitterand’s highlighting of the intermedial capacity of Zola’s writing while eschewing a conventional ekphrastic reading. My approach is to shift the focus from Zola’s engagement with the visual medium of Manet and his followers in order to explore Zola’s work as a colorist and abstractionist in his own medium, with specifc reference to two novels of the Rougon-Macquart series. qualities of color in Baudelaire’s and Mallarmé’s aesthetics, specifcally the power of color to speak as if with its own voice. Zola: Colorist, Abstractionist 467 Zola and Color Practice It is useful, in the frst instance, to review some of the key constraints on evaluating color in writing. As soon as we try to move beyond discussions of elementary color symbol- ism (that of the red sky over Paris in La Curée, for example) or seek to engage in more than a rudimentary decoding of variable color (that of the dyer’s water in L’Assommoir), we encounter a blind spot. Color practice is occluded in critical readings of Zola’s novels (and of literature more generally). The reader of the chromatic text is, to all intents, color-blind, or at least begins from that position. He or she enters the monochrome space of (conventionally) black- and-white typography, that is, a space where the words “bluish green” appear, in colorist terms, no different on the page from “reddish brown”: the verbal medium cannot begin to equal the visual medium. This is an immediate and nonnegotiable constraint on any bid to “read for color.” There is a further constraint: Zola’s practice cannot be described within the parameters of normative ekphrasis. Zola’s search for color or his move to inscribe color (which is a bid to activate the suggestion of color in the reader’s mind) develops independently of any reference to a specifc artwork and even to artwork in general, thereby resisting traditional defnitions of ekphrasis. There is no verifable given art model against which to read Zola’s visual quality, the visuality of his writing. In this respect Zola’s approach may be seen as the antithesis of the appropriative or colonizing bid of ekphrasis, which seeks to subordinate a given visual image to the presumed hegemony of the verbal medium. It is clear that we must approach Zola’s visuality differently: as a medium that is both distinct from and parallel to that of painting. My approach here is fundamentally interartistic in that it seeks to suggest and intimate reciproci- ties, connections, and analogues between visual and verbal media. Rather than speculate on the infuence of particular artworks, I aim to explore the visuality of Zola’s writing. Beyond ekphrastic resistance, there are other constraints upon reading Zola chromatically. First, one can perhaps get beyond the story (to the horizon of symbol or allegory), but one cannot get beneath it: the plot is the ground that shapes the choice of metaphors and informs visuality. Color inevitably con- tains and reveals the infection of story. Color cannot be subjectless and pure in the writerly medium in the way that a painting by Mondrian or Rothko might appear maximally abstract; thus, we confront an absolute difference of medium. Immersed in the diachronic work of reading a narrative, the reader is telos-bound to carry that story with him or her and to interpret the color instance on that basis, to seek meaning and to project meaning back onto that color instance. The incommensurable differences between the arts mean that reading for color is an activity at once tantalizing and variously constrained. 468 Susan Harrow If the persistence of a blind spot over the writing (and the reading) of color is predictable, not to engage with Zola’s color practice would be paradoxical given the writer’s scrupulous inscription in his art criticism of the chromatic qualities of painting, and given the consummate color work of his fction writ- ing. While we must remain attentive to those intermedial differences and to what Peter Dayan in his introduction to Art as Music, Music as Poetry, Poetry as Art terms the “incalculable” relationship between artistic media, it is also possible and, arguably, productive to seek to probe potential intermedial ana- logues (3).

  • Tolstoy and Zola: Trains and Missed Connections
    Tolstoy and Zola: Trains and Missed Connections Nina Lee Bond Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2011 © 2011 Nina Lee Bond All rights reserved ABSTRACT Tolstoy and Zola: Trains and Missed Connections Nina Lee Bond ŖTolstoy and Zolaŗ juxtaposes the two writers to examine the evolution of the novel during the late nineteenth century. The juxtaposition is justified by the literary critical debates that were taking place in Russian and French journals during the 1870s and 1880s, concerning Tolstoy and Zola. In both France and Russia, heated arguments arose over the future of realism, and opposing factions held up either Tolstoyřs brand of realism or Zolařs naturalism as more promising. This dissertation uses the differences between Tolstoy and Zola to make more prominent a commonality in their respective novels Anna Karenina (1877) and La Bête humaine (1890): the railways. But rather than interpret the railways in these two novels as a symbol of modernity or as an engine for narrative, I concentrate on one particular aspect of the railway experience, known as motion parallax, which is a depth cue that enables a person to detect depth while in motion. Stationary objects close to a travelling train appear to be moving faster than objects in the distance, such as a mountain range, and moreover they appear to be moving backward. By examining motion parallax in both novels, as well as in some of Tolstoyřs other works, The Kreutzer Sonata (1889) and The Death of Ivan Il'ich (1886), this dissertation attempts to address an intriguing question: what, if any, is the relationship between the advent of trains and the evolution of the novel during the late nineteenth century? Motion parallax triggers in a traveler the sensation of going backward even though one is travelling forward.

Arch (B. Arch), C.E.P.T, Ahmedabad, India, 1997 Committee Chair: John E. Hancock Poché Parisienne: The Interior Urbanity of Nineteenth Century Paris ABSTRACT The “Haussmannization” of Paris was characterized as much by what it ‘defined’, as by what it excluded. The thesis focuses on the apartment houses, the brothels, and the sewers as embodiments of those exclusions that were part of the process of Paris’s modernization between 1852 and 1870. By analyzing the representations of these spaces in architectural drawings, photographs and the literary novel, the paper posits that poché, an architectural drawing technique of defining and excluding, was implicitly a part of that process. For Haussmann and Napoleon III, the image of progress was built upon the elimination of all that could not be observed, decoded, or homogenized. In attacking the hidden pockets of private spaces of the apartment houses of the lower classes, the brothels, sewers and catacombs as disorderly, unhygienic and immoral, the State promoted notions of progress as scientific, hygienic and moral.

Our perception of color is ruled by light wavelengths, and how they absorb or reflect from a surface. Our eyes are sensitive to light, so color perception depends on how individual light wavelengths react to a surface, creating visible light. Humans see hair color based on how individual light wavelengths are absorbed or reflect from each hair strand. Color Perceptions WHITE LIGHT SPECTRUM The electromagnetic spectrum of light that passes through our atmosphere is known as the visible (or white light) spectrum. The white light spectrum is a combination of all visible saturated color wavelengths the human eye and brain can distinguish. Black is a total absence of light. LIGHT WAVELENGTHS & COLOR The visible spectrum corresponds directly to individual light wavelengths, ranging from 400 to 700 nanometers (nm), and a color range of violet through dark red. Every surface absorbs, diffuses, combines and/or reflects each light wavelength, enabling the human eye and brain to perceive color.

  • Seven FIRST MANIFESTATIONS of the UNCONSCIOUS IN
    Seven FIRST MANIFESTATIONS OF THE UNCONSCIOUS IN LITERATURE Arthur Schopenhauer first appeared on the literary scene in France as the philo- sopher of pessimism and he was known as such to Hyppolite-Adolphe Taine, Joseph Ernest Renan, Elme Marie Caro, and Ferdinand Brunetière. To some extent, Taine’s pessimism is attributable to Schopenhauer. Charles Renovier adapted several of Schopenhauer’s themes and approved of his philosophical pessimism. Jules Lachelier discussed the German philosopher as a pessimist in his lectures at the École Normale Supérieure. Alfred Jules Émile Fouillée fre- quently quoted the author of Parerga et paralipomena (Schopenhauer, 1880) (Incidentals and Addenda) and borrows his major premise that the word is will and idea. The influence of Schopenhauer’s pessimism on French literature is considered by Alfred Baillot in Influence de la philosophie de Schopenhauer en France (1860–1900) (1927) (The Influence of Schopenhauer’s Philosophy in France). Schopenhauer’s pessimism found a fertile ground in France. Pessimistic trends were observed everywhere in French philosophy and literature during the nineteenth century, becoming more accentuated as the century grew old. Tracing the sources of this prevalent current, Paul Bourget discovered them in Stendhal, Alexandre Dumas (son), Taine, Renan, and Henry Amiel (Bourget, 1920; 1885). The defeat of 1871 and the subsequent period of dissatisfaction and political unrest gave historical justification to a pessimism that had so far been literary and philosophical. In this way, Schopenhauer brought metaphysical arguments to strengthen what is predominantly an attitude and sometimes a fashion. His popu- larity was henceforth assured. Schopenhauer’s pessimism also fit well with the dominant tendency of na- turalism, then the reigning literary school, which proceeded from the theory of an ineluctable necessity in the psychic and materialistic worlds.

  • K/S Shade Values by Wavelength for Typical 3.0 Gm/Lit Indigo Dye Set-Up
    ABSTRACT HOLBERT, JR., RICHARD MOORE. Empirical and Theoretical Indigo Dye Models Derived from Observational Studies of Production Scale Chain Rope Indigo Dye Ranges. (Under the direction of Peter Hauser, Warren Jasper, Jon Rust, and Richard Gould.) An observational study of production scale chain rope indigo dye ranges was conducted using 100% cotton open end spun yarns to confirm previously published dye trends, investigate the effects of dye range speed, and develop dye prediction models. To achieve these objectives, several milestones were identified and systematically addressed. A comprehensive laboratory preparation method was developed to ensure consistent yarn preparation. Equilibrium sorption experiments were conducted to determine the functional relationship between dye bath concentration and pH to indigo dye uptake in the cotton yarn. Additionally, the resulting shade from equilibrium sorption data was expanded to create an innovative method of quantitatively characterizing indigo penetration level of non-uniformly dyed yarns. The following dye range set-up conditions were recorded for each observational point: yarn count, number of dips, dye range speed, dwell length, nip pressure, dye bath indigo concentration, dye bath pH, dye bath reduction potential, and oxidation time. All observations were conducted after the dye range had been running for several hours and no feed rate adjustments were required. Later the following measurements were taken to determine each response variable state: total percent chemical on weight of yarn, percent of fixed indigo on weight of yarn, and Integ shade value. Analysis of data from the observational study confirmed most previously published dye trends relating to dye uptake, shade, and penetration level. Notably, the percent indigo on weight of yarn as a function of dye bath pH was not confirmed.
