Back cover copy

This is a radical reconsideration of the origins of modern painting and sculpture in Europe and North America. In art, as in near every other field, the nineteenth century was a time of questioning, experimentation, discovery and modernization. Artists divined and portrayed, equally never before, the crucial connections between seeing and knowing, vision and society. From Goya to Blake, from Courbet to Eakins, from Cassatt to Cezanne, from Van Gogh to Ensor, they challenged the prevailing definitions of art and the social guild. Nineteenth Century Art: A Disquisitional History embraces many aspects of the so-chosen "new" art history - attention to issues of grade and gender, reception and spectatorship, racism and Eurocentrism - while emphasizing the remarkable vitality, salience and subversiveness of the era'south best art. Indeed, the authors insist that in that location is a profound sympathy between these new methods and the art nether examination. For it was nineteenth-century artists who first addressed the problems that preoccupy audiences and scholars today: the relation betwixt popular and elite culture, the legacy of the Enlightenment, the question of the canon, and the representation of women and non-European peoples. This rich and various volume suggests that nineteenth-century art remains compelling today because its critical insights have rarely been surpassed. It will show of interest not only to the specialist, simply to anyone fascinated past the art, history and civilization of this unique era.
