The French art novel, with its tales of artists, models and
creative struggles, is often thought to be a specifically
nineteenth-century phenomenon, which dies out by 1900. This
wide-ranging, interdisciplinary study argues that the art novel
does not in fact disappear but rather undergoes a series of
transformations in the early twentieth century, in step with
radical changes in the visual arts of the period. Examining both
well-known and all-but-forgotten novels, Shingler examines the ways
in which they move on from their nineteenth-century predecessors,
as the development of avant-garde movements makes questions of
aesthetic value and authenticity ever more pressing; as changing
gender roles increasingly put pressure on writers to acknowledge
female creativity; and as the emergent art of the cinema comes to
compete with painting as the primary visual reference point for
writers.
