Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st. Cloth, xiv, 313 pages, illustrations (some colour); 27 cm. Published in conjunction with an exhibition at the Museum of Art and Archaeology, University of Missouri-Columbia, October 21 to December 3, 1989; and other venues. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Dust jacket… protected in a mylar cover. *** "In the years between 1830 and 1848, the period know as the July Monarchy, French art underwent the major transformation from romanticism to realism. Yet, because of their transitional nature, the works of this period have often been ignored by art historians. By avoiding a concentration on either a single artist or a single ism, the book illuminates this 18 year period." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: An introduction to the history, by Robert J. Bezucha; An introduction to the art, by Michael Paul Driskel; Historical subjects, by Patricia Condon; Early realism, by Gabriel P. Weisberg; At home and abroad: landscape representation, by Petra Ten-Doesschate Chu; The cult of personal portraiture, by Gabriel P. Weisberg; The coded image: agitation in aspects of political and social caricature, by Gabriel P. Weisberg; The renaissance of book illustration, by Robert J. Bezucha. Size: 4to. Collectible.

Condition: as new. Kent, Ohio ; London : Kent State University Press, c1993. Orig. cloth binding. Dustjacket. xviii, 251 p. : ill. : facsims, plans ; 24 cm. Includes bibliographical references and index. Condition : as new. - One of the most important funerary monuments in Europe is the tomb of Napoleon, built in the Church of t…he Invalides in Paris between 1840 and 1861. As Befits a Legend is the first comprehensive examination of its construction process, historical context, and political and social meanings. It is also the only work published in English about this unique structure. Michael Paul Driskel's study, based on extensive archival research in France, documents the problems inherent in building the appropriate monument for such a controversial figure and the public debate it generated. Following a detailed and illuminating account of the range of proposals put forward, Driskel concludes that the form of the structure represents a symbolic mediation of conflicting demands. Louis-Tullis Visconti, a major Parisian architect who was officially commissioned for the project, is the subject of intensive scrutiny to determine the nature of his personal contribution to the design, as well as his relationship with the many sculptors involved in the collective construction process. Here Driskel offers a significant contribution to the sociology of architecture and to the question of what "authorship" means in an undertaking of this kind. Condition : as new copy. ISBN 9780873384841. Keywords : HISTORY, Napoleon Bonaparte.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Representing Belief provides a detailed discussion and analysis of the forms and meanings in religious art of nineteenth-century France. This genre, usually assigned minimal importance by writers on the period, turns out to occupy a central place in the cultural history of the era, touching the core o…f the century's conflict between tradition and modernity, science and faith, ultramontanism and naturalism. Although it was generally assumed that this kind of art was of little importance in the evolution of modern painting, Driskel demonstrates that in reality it played a crucial role. Many of the artists discussed are firmly installed in the present canon (Delacroix, Ingres, Manet, Gauguin), while others (Flandrin, Orsel, Gleyre, Cazin) were major figures in their own time, though largely forgotten today.Writing from an interdisciplinary perspective and employing concepts derived from structuralist and poststructuralist theory, Driskel moves beyond simple formalism to restore a category of once-important works to a meaningful context, thereby offering others a model by which to discuss and interpret these paintings. Carefully charting the genealogies of hieraticism and naturalism, he demonstrates that a dramatic shift occurred in the 1860s and 1870s as naturalism gained acceptance among ultramontanes and the hieratic mode began to attract the interest of adherents to the belief system of modernism. Representing Belief is the first book to situate this art in its social and historical contexts and to approach it from this point of view.
