Theodore Rousseau and the Rise of the Modern Art Market

An Avant-Garde Landscape Painter in Nineteenth-Century France

Omschrijving

The nineteenth century in France witnessed the emergence of the structures of the modern art market that remain until this day. This book examines the relationship between the avant-garde Barbizon landscape painter, ThéodoreRousseau (1812-1867), and this market, exploring the constellation of patrons, art dealers, and critics who surrounded the artist.Simon Kelly argues for the pioneering role of Rousseau, his patrons, and his public in the origins of the modern art market, and, in so doing, shifts attention away from the more traditional focus on the novel careers of the Impressionists and their supporters. Drawing on extensive archival research, the book offers fresh insight into the role of the modern artist as professional. It provides a new understanding of the complex iconographical and formalchoices within Rousseau's oeuvre, rediscovering the original radical charge that once surrounded the artist's work and led to extensive and peculiarly modern tensions with the market place.
