The late 1870s and early 1880s were watershed years in the history
of French painting. As outgoing economic and social structures were
being replaced by a capitalist, measured time, Impressionist
artists sought to create works that could be perceived in an
instant, capturing the sensations of rapidly transforming modern
life. Yet a generation of artists pushed back against these
changes, spearheading a short-lived revival of the Realist
practices that had dominated at mid-century and advocating slowness
in practice, subject matter, and beholding. In this illuminating
book, Marnin Young looks closely at five works by Jules
Bastien-Lepage, Gustave Caillebotte, Alfred-Philippe Roll,
Jean-Francois Raffaelli, and James Ensor, artists who shared a
concern with painting and temporality that is all but forgotten
today, having been eclipsed by the ideals of Impressionism. Young's
highly original study situates later Realism for the first time
within the larger social, political, and economic framework and
argues for its centrality in understanding the development of
modern art.
