Description:With the new political freedom and economic changes set in motion by the French Revolution, the status of the artist was forever altered. European art thereby escaped the control of tradition and aesthetic doctrine and was revitalized by the individual expression of each artist. No longer subject to the dictates of an aristocratic patronage, the artist of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries became more and more dependent on exhibitions, both public and private, to secure audiences and markets for his work. Consequently, salons and exhibitions steadily increased, as did critical reviews appearing in the growing number of periodicals and newspapers.This collection of documents, most of which have been translated into English for the first time, provides the reader with new insight to the complex, often bewildering, yet productive relation between artists, critics, and the public. The texts are selected from reviews and manifestoes published between 1785 and 1848, a period that opened and closed with political revolt. The book includes writings from widely diverse sources such as those of the German Romantics Von Kleist and Schlegel, the reaction to classical Greek sculpture displayed in London by Lord Elgin, the evaluation of unconventional landscape painting, and the assertion of the artists' right to exhibit.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
