The nineteenth century - the Era of the Interior - witnessed the
steady displacement of art from the ceilings, walls, and floors of
aristocratic and religious interiors to the everyday spaces of
bourgeois households, subject to their own enhanced ornamentation.
Following the 1863 Salon des refuses, the French State began to
channel mediocre painters into the decorative arts. England, too,
launched an extensive reform of the decorative arts, resulting in
more and more artists engaged in the production and design of
complete interiors. America soon followed. Present art historical
scholarship - still indebted to a modernist discourse that sees
cultural progress to be synonymous with the removal of ornament
from both utilitarian objects and architectural spaces - has not
yet acknowledged the importance of the decorative arts in the
myriad interior spaces of the 1800s. Nor has mainstream art history
reckoned with the importance of the interior in nineteenth-century
life and thought. Aimed at an interdisciplinary audience, including
art and design historians, historians of the modern interior,
interior designers, visual culture theorists, and scholars of
nineteenth-century material culture, this collection of essays
studies the modern interior in new ways. The volume addresses the
double nature of the modern interior as both space and image,
blurring the boundaries between arts and crafts, decoration and
high art, two-dimensional and three-dimensional design,
trompe-l'oeil effects and spatial practices. In so doing, it
redefines the modern interior and its objects as essential
components of modern art.
