Revolutionary Ideas: Nineteenth Century European Art is an
innovative, assignment-focused anthology that helps students
critically examine the impact of major world events on European
art, the effect of artistic innovations on the world, and their
continuing effects in society today. The collection is organized
thematically into six parts. Part I focuses on historical events as
captured by artists who lived through them, notably the French
Revolution and the Biedermeier period. Part II revolves around the
nude, capturing different art movements and the changing avatar of
the nude in the nineteenth century, highlighting social and
political influences on creation of nudes. Part III explores the
rise of the modern city and pieces inspired by development and
progress. Part IV analyzes works born of machines, motion, and
modernity in the wake of the Industrial Revolution. Part V explores
the connection of landscape painting with national pride,
Protestant values, the bourgeoisie, and more. The final part
examines the prevailing mood at the end of the nineteenth century,
one of pessimism, angst, and fear, and the provocative, memorable
works borne of it. Cross-disciplinary in nature, Revolutionary
Ideas is a valuable supplementary reader for foundational courses
in art history, cultural studies, anthropology, and archaeology.
