  • Page 1 of 2 Neoclassicism: an Introduction the Victorian Web
    Neoclassicism: An Introduction The Victorian Web (2000) The English Neoclassical movement, predicated upon and derived from both classical and contemporary French models, (see Boileau's L'Art Poetique (1674) and Pope's "Essay on Criticism" (1711) as critical statements of Neoclassical principles) embodied a group of attitudes toward art and human existence — ideals of order, logic, restraint, accuracy, "correctness," "restraint," decorum, and so on, which would enable the practitioners of various arts to imitate or reproduce the structures and themes of Greek or Roman originals. Though its origins were much earlier (the Elizabethan Ben Jonson, for example, was as indebted to the Roman poet Horace as Alexander Pope would later be), Neoclassicism dominated English literature from the Restoration in 1660 until the end of the eighteenth century, when the publication of Lyrical Ballads (1798) by Wordsworth and Coleridge marked the full emergence of Romanticism. For the sake of convenience the Neoclassic period can be divided into three relatively coherent parts: the Restoration Age (1660-1700), in which Milton, Bunyan, and Dryden were the dominant influences; the Augustan Age (1700- 1750), in which Pope was the central poetic figure, while Defoe, Richardson, Fielding, and Smollett were presiding over the sophistication of the novel; and the Age of Johnson(1750-1798), which, while it was dominated and characterized by the mind and personality of the inimitable Dr. Samuel Johnson, whose sympathies were with the fading Augustan past, saw the beginnings of a new understanding and appreciation of the work of Shakespeare, the development, by Sterne and others, of the novel of sensibility, and the emergence of the Gothic school — attitudes which, in the context of the development of a cult of Nature, the influence of German romantic thought, religious tendencies like the rise of Methodism, and political events like the American and French revolutions — established the intellectual and emotional foundations of English Romanticism.

  • During a Summer Almost Ten Years Ago, I Became Periodically Obsessed with a Set of Public Benches
    During a summer almost ten years ago, I became periodically obsessed with a set of public benches. These benches have sat outside Shanghai Center and the Portman Ritz-Carlton Hotel on West Nanjing Road since the early 2000s. Two, three, or four in a group, they hug the trees by the pedestrian. They are hard not to notice. Their curved shape was probably intended to maximize utility at their time of making, but for the passers-by who feel tired and seduced to take a seat they also offer a promise of choice. You can either sit on the side facing the Shanghai Exhibition Center, or take the other side towards the hotel, which allows you to observe the tourists walking in and out of the luxury stores changing hosts at a speed parallel to seasons in fashion; it’s either neoclassicism or neo-futurism. Throughout that summer, I meticulously calculated my daily calorie intake, took long walks around the French Concession every morning and afternoon, and piously returned to the City Shop located on the B1 Floor of Shanghai Center for lunch salads, which I always consumed while sitting on one of those benches. With every bite of arugula and celery, my brain translated the crunch of those fibers and the smell of their juices into a euphoric signal of well-being, which was then digested, blended, and confused with the physical sensation of the back of my thighs against the bench, the color of its pale white surface, and the feeling of sweat oozing from every pore of my skin in the hot air.

    Chapter 26 Rococo to Neoclassicism: The 18th Century in Europe and America Social, political, economic, and technological change, as well as transformation in the arts. In 1700 Louis XIV still ruled as Sun King at Versailles. His palace inspired construction of many grandiose homes in the early 18th century. By 1800 revolutions had overthrown monarchy in France and achieved independence in America from Britain. Industrial Revolution transformed economies. Death of Louis XIV in 1715 – elite abandoned court of Versailles and resided in hotels (townhouses) of Paris, decorated in ligg,hthearted, softer Rococo style. Aristocrats reestablished predominance as art patrons. The Rococo style was replaced by the Neoclassical, which was perceived as more democratic Enlightenment brought about a rejection of royal and aristocratic authority Neoclassicism was inspired by the unearthing of the ruins at Pompeii. Even if works of art depict current events or contemporary portraits, there are frequently classical allusions. The late eighteenth century was the age of the Industrial Revolution: new technologies such as cast iron were introduced into architecture, and for the first time it became more economical to carve from bronze than marble. 3 Rocaille (pebble) – small stones and shells that decorated grotto interiors (natural or man-made caves). Shell forms – principal motifs in Rococo ornamentation. Women dominated cultural sphere and held influential positions in Europe.

  • Historicism and Decorative Arts Theory in Germany and Austria, 1851-1901
    Historicism and Decorative Arts Theory in Germany and Austria, 1851-1901 Eric Anderson Tuesday 6-8 pm Spring 2006 [email protected] In the second half of the nineteenth century, a wide-ranging movement to strengthen national art industries and improve the artistic quality of domestic interiors developed in Germany and Austria. At its heart was the belief that only by grappling with the past could modern designers meet the challenge of creating artistic environments suited to the new demands of a rapidly transforming society. From this conviction arose a rich theoretical discourse on historical forms and their relationship to the present. This course examines the concept of Historicism as it was developed in books, periodicals, and exhibition displays. What narratives of design history did theorists construct? How did they view the role of the decorative arts and the artistic interior in modern society? What were the social and artistic concerns underlying their arguments about the modern use of particular historical styles?
