Foreign Artists and Communities in Modern Paris, 1870-1914 examines
Paris as a center of international culture that attracted artists
from Western and Eastern Europe, Asia and the Americas during a
period of burgeoning global immigration. Sixteen essays by a group
of emerging and established international scholars - including
several whose work has not been previously published in English -
address the experiences of foreign exiles, immigrants, students and
expatriates. They explore the formal and informal structures that
permitted foreign artists to forge connections within and across
national communities and in some cases fashion new, transnational
identities in the City of Light. Considering Paris from an
innovative global perspective, the book situates both important
modern artists - such as Edvard Munch, Sonia Delaunay-Terk, Marc
Chagall and Gino Severini - and lesser-known American, Czech,
Italian, Polish, Welsh, Russian, Japanese, Catalan, and Hungarian
painters, sculptors, writers, dancers, and illustrators within the
larger trends of international mobility and cultural exchange.
Broadly appealing to historians of modern art and history, the
essays in this volume characterize Paris as a thriving
transnational arts community in which the interactions between
diverse cultures, peoples and traditions contributed to the
development of a hybrid and multivalent modern art.
Although mastery of the representation of the human figure was
central to art making as early as the fifteenth century in Europe,
in the nineteenth-century French imagination the artist's model
became identified as a distinct social type and cultural trope.
This study of the artist's model in Paris between 1830 and 1870
incorporates three histories: a social history of professional
models, a cultural history of models as social types, and an art
history of representations of the model in elite and popular visual
culture. It takes as its starting point the artist-model
transaction: demonstrating that stereotypes of 'the model' that
figured in the public imagination were framed both by gender and
ethnicity, the book develops a nuanced typology of different types
of models. Interwoven with the analysis of the constructed
identities of models are accounts of the lives of particular models
and the histories of the urban population groups from which they
emerged. The Invention of the Model: Artists and Models in Paris,
1830-1870 is an adept exploration of a major issue in
nineteenth-century art which will be of interest not only to art
historians, but also to social and French cultural historians.
