| Yhteenveto: | Résumé éditeur : "First published in 1973 The Absolute Bourgeois rapidly became an art-historical classic. Along with its companion volume Image of the People: Gustave Courbet and the 1848 Revolution it shows how powerful art-historical writing can be when closely allied to a detailed study of the political and philosophical background of a period. Although it covers a short time span the years immediately after the 1848 Revolution in France it examines the painting and print-making of a handful of artists trying to come to terms with a changing political world. Daumier and Millet are central, particularly in their dealings with the new State s art patronage machine. Delacroix figures as a painter and diarist, in agonized withdrawal from the possibility of change, haunted by his own Liberty Guiding the People. Baudelaire is depicted, after a moment of tortured political involvement in the first months of the Republic, as the great poet of post-revolutionary despair. Immensely readable, this is a powerful evocation of a time when, as Clark says, art and politics could not escape each other ." |
