S’allier au temps d’une République conservatrice. La Société des Artistes Peintres, Sculpteurs, Graveurs et Lithographes

The recent discovery of the act of constitution of the Société des Artistes Peintres, Sculpteurs, Graveurs, et Lithographes in the Archives de Paris opens the way for a clarification of the narrative of the genesis of the Première Exposition known as “Impressionist.” Knowledge of this act makes it...

Among the reasons invoked, the refusal of the Salon juries, the post-war context and Paul Durand-Ruel’s difficulties are the most often cited. However, little consideration has been given in these accounts to the cooperative ideal supported by the founders of the Society, an ideal openly opposed to the elitist politics pursued by the directors of the fine arts during the time of a conservative Republic. It is indeed not insignificant that the utopic idea of a federation of artists, administered in a democratic way appeared during this period and the Société des Artistes Peintres, Sculpteurs, Graveurs, et Lithographes is perhaps one of the most representative concretizations. It is in this perspective that this article looks back at its history, which is that of a disparate regrouping of artists who were in favor of cooperative functioning, and who minimized aesthetic questions in favor of a collective dynamic bearer of freedom and of solidarity.Cairn restricted access
