内容説明

Paintings by such celebrated eighteenth-century artists as Watteau, Boucher, Chardin, Fragonard, Greuze, and Boilly have long been admired for their charming and intimate subjects - fetes galantes, pastorals, tableaux de mode, middle-class domestic interiors, and scenes of family life and romantic love - and for their pleasing colour schemes. In this lavishly illustrated and produced book, genre painting is explored for the first time within the broader cultural context of Enlightenment France.Through a series of innovative and lively essays dealing largely with aspects of art, gender, and politics in the decades preceding the French Revolution, "Intimate Encounters" enables us to appreciate genre paintings anew: although they are almost always attractive to the eye, sometimes to the point of appearing fanciful, the paintings also bear the intellectual imprint of turbulent times. the interactions of 'ordinary' people - nonhistorical, nonmythic figures - within the family and in romantic encounters. We learn that genre painters tended to infuse their depictions of intimacy with moral and ideological significance. Their imagery coincided with fundamental debates over gender roles and relationships, the family, child-rearing, and illicit versus conjugal love, topics that were crucial to such writers and social commentators as Rousseau, Diderot, and Laclos.Published in conjunction with a major travelling exhibition, "Intimate Encounters" contains five essays written by specialists from a variety of disciplines, which are followed by fifty-one full catalog entries on the paintings included in the show. The essays delve into such matters as art criticism and the presence of women in cultural life (Richard Rand), the family and the ideology of sentimentalism (Sarah Maza), the influence of innovative theater on genre painting (Mark Ledbury), the debate over women's rights (Virginia Swain), and the production and marketing of prints to a growing art audience (Anne L. Schroder).

内容説明

Exploring genre painting within the broad cultural context of Enlightenment France, this book deals with aspects of art, gender and politics in the decades preceding the French Revolution, to argue that the paintings bear the intellectual imprint of turbulent times. The book presents over 75 genre paintings and prints that depict the interactions of "ordinary" people - non-historical, non-mythic figures - within the family and in romantic encounters. It shows how genre painters tended to infuse their depictions of intimacy with moral and ideological significance. Their imagery coincided with fundamental debates over gender roles and relationships, the family, child-rearing, and illicit versus conjugal love, topics that were crucial to such writers and social commentators as Rosseau, Diderot and Laclos. The five essays included in this volume discuss such matters as: art criticism and the presence of women in cultural life; the family and the ideology of sentimentalism; the influence of innovative theatre on genre painting; the debate over women's rights; and the production and marketing of prints to a growing art audience.
