Nudity, lasciviousness, sensuality, provocation, shamelessness, or
obscenity. During the 19th century, eroticism takes on a new place
in Western visual culture, in particular thanks to the development
of reproduction such as photography, press or lithography. Result
of long and meticulous research, this book reviews the major
reflections carried out on the theme of nudity in the field of art
history and the history of sensibilities. It studies the reception
of nudity in France, based on documentary and iconographic sources
renewed (little-known works, drawings and photographs, newspapers,
archives, texts of laws) and allows us to better understand this
history of erotic art of the nineteenth century, long perpetuated
by the sole taste of description. By placing the works in their
context, by comparing expressions and aesthetics, and studying
visual culture of time, Claire Maingon opens up new fields of
reflection, while allowing to discover unknown or forgotten artists
such as Broc, Gavarni, , Dubufe, Galimard, Ranft, Eakins, alongside
the big names in the history of 19th century, David, Ingres,
Delacroix, Courbet, Manet, Rodin. Text in French.
