Synopsis
The publication of this book coincides with an exhibition by the Dahesh Museum of Art in New York City of Dagnan-Bouveret's work--the first in a century. Against the Modern pays special attention to the evolution of this artist's work, and brings to the public gaze the real diversity, accessibility--and surprising modernity--that has made Dagnan-Bouveret's work of lasting value., Pascal-Adolphe-Jean Dagnan- Bouveret (1852-1929) was among a group of the most creative students of Jean Leon Gérôme, the leading French academic painter of his day. A well-established naturalist painter and an artist acknowledged worldwide during the latter half of the nineteenth century, Dagnan-Bouveret used contemporary themes and techniques to modernize the academic tradition in an attempt to meet the aesthetic changes initiated by the impressionists. Displaying real diversity, he created photographically accurate compositions inspired by daily life. His best-known pieces were mesmerizing mystical-religious compositions. Accolades at the1900 Paris Exposition Universelle and induction into the French Institute not only assured the status of his work, but also furthered his position as the upholder of the academic tradition at a time when it was coming under renewed attack by the modernists.

- e***e (218)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseMy order arrived in good condition and looking perfect. Pricing and shipping were both reasonable. Thank you!
- e***e (2023)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI received the item, the only problem is that when you ship a large book like this, you need to put cardboard on the corners or something. It was a gift, and I had to glue and recolor the corners so they wouldn't look as crushed. A plastic bag around the book does not suffice, as the post office will throw it all over the place.
