Theodore Rousseau and the Rise of the Modern Art Market : An Avant-Garde Landscape Painter in Nineteenth-Century France PDF
by Kelly Simon Kelly
Part of the Contextualizing Art Markets series
Description
The 19th century in France witnessed the emergence of the structures of the modern art market that remain until this day.
This book examines the relationship between the avant-garde Barbizon landscape painter, Theodore Rousseau (1812-1867), and this market, exploring the constellation of patrons, art dealers and critics who surrounded the artist.
It argues for the pioneering role of Rousseau, his patrons and his public in the origins of the modern art market, and, in so doing, shifts attention away from the more traditional focus on the novel careers of the Impressionists and their supporters.
Drawing on extensive archival research, the book provides new insight into the role of the modern artist as professional.
It provides a new understanding of the complex iconographical and formal choices within Rousseau's work, rediscovering the original radical charge that once surrounded the artist's work and led to extensive and peculiarly modern tensions with the market place.
