About This Item
Princeton, NJ, U.S.A: Princeton University Press, 2003. Trade Paperback. Near Fine. 8 " x 10. Signed by Author. This is the first systematic, comprehensive study of the German art world in the last decades of the 19th century, based on reading in contemporary periodicals; it focuses on how critics and the public responded to new forms of painting that emerged in the 1880s, when the explosive growth of art exhibitions supported by local governments across a recently unified Germany was accompanied by greatly expanded attendance of a new mass public; it examines the social, cultural, and economic factors that led to the rapid acceptance and dominance of the new modern art in the 1890s; the success of modern art fragmented the art world as modern artists turned away from an often unreceptive public, leading to a growing alienation of the public from modern artists, and an increasing contempt for the public on the part of artists; includes a section of color plates and many illustrations from periodicals of the time (red, black, white & yellow cover with very slight edgewear, previous owner's name on half-title page, author's signature on title page; this is a very large, heavy volume)
