Raymonde Moulin: The Bourgeois as Art-Lovers : Exhibitions of the Fine Arts in the Provinces, 1885-1887.
This article studies the exhibitions organized in the provinces by Societies of Friends of the Arts during the three years following the first Independent Salon (Paris, 1884). Made up of shareholders who belonged to different fractions of the bourgeoisie, these Societies supported an "average" art, produced by the Paris Fine Arts School, as it had been reformed in 1863. Like the Paris Salon, these exhibitions had the three functions of evaluation, circulation and commerce. Uniformity won out over diversification while the work of art tented to be reduced to the social conditions for its production and consumption. These Societies of Friends ? social, philanthropic and sales clubs-did not take up after the Provincial Academies of the Old Regime before 1789 as places for teaching and artistic research. However, the works which were exhibited and bought did strongly express a moment in bourgeois taste. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
