Synopsis
This is the first comprehensive survey of the formation of French art criticism that looks beyond the celebrated leading lights, such as Diderot and Stendhal, to examine the historical circumstances that made art criticism a flourishing journalistic venture. Between the mid-eighteenth century and the 1820s, art critical writing became an established feature of the Parisian art world. Wrigley considers the discourse of art criticism in the context of the dynamic political changes witnessed during this period, locating the history of criticism within patterns of publishing, censorship, and authorship and paying particular attention to the Salon exhibitions which provided the central focus for both official and dissenting estimations of the state of French art.

Review
'Massively researched and patiently argued. It should become essential reading for anyone interested in the early modern period. Criticism constitutes a major contribution to the growing literature on late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century French art.'
Andrew McClellan, Tufts University, Burlington Magazine
`Wrigley presents a great deal of extremely useful information in his book, which is not too brief, but never too long, without offering an obtrusive conceptual framework. His account thus is infinitely more valuabe than most of currently fashionalb speculative art history, for is makes
acceddible a great boidy of evidence deriveed from years of archival research...The cumulative effect of this extremely important analysis is revelatory,,,what is most valuable are the drawings showing the actual appearance of these Salons, for they give the reader the illusion of actually looking
in upon the artworld whose representations by critics Wrigley has lovingly reconstructed.'

Condition: Gut. XII; 427 Seiten; 21,5 cm; kart. Gutes Exemplar; der illustr. Einband etwas berieben. - Englisch. - Richard Wrigley is Senior Lecturer in Art History, Oxford Brookes University. . / This is the first overview of the development and consolidation of French art criticism between the mid-eighteenth century and the 1820s. During this period, art-critical writing came to be an established feature of the Parisian art world. This study examines the historical circumstances within which criticism grew from an occasional pastime into a flourishing journalistic genre. Dr Wrigley demonstrates how the dynamic political and social landscape of French history during the later eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries provides the crucial context within which to understand the nature and function of criticism. He locates the practice of criticism within patterns of publishing, censorship, and authorship, and pays particular attention to the Salon exhibitions which provided the central focus for official and dissenting estimations of the state of French Art. The language of art criticism is shown to depend on a wide spectrum of polemical and aesthetic discourses. In a period during which open political discussion was often severely constrained, Dr Wrigley demonstrates how the versatility of art-critical language enhanced its potential as a vehicle for debates about the political significance of French culture.
