In an era when ease of travel is greater than ever, it is also easy
to overlook the degree to which voyages of the body - and mind -
have generated an outpouring of artistry and creativity throughout
the ages. Exploration of new lands and sensations is a fundamental
human experience. This volume in turn provides a stimulating and
adventurous exploration of the theme of travel from an
art-historical perspective. Topical regions are covered ranging
from the Grand Tour and colonialism to the travels of Hadrian in
ancient times and Georgia O'Keeffe's journey to the Andes; from
Vasari's Neoplatonic voyages to photographing nineteenth-century
Japan. The scholars assembled consider both imaginary travel, as
well as factual or embellished documentation of voyages. The essays
are far-reaching spatially and temporally, but all relate to how
art has documented the theme of travel in varying media across time
and as illustrated and described by writers, artists, and
illustrators. The scope of this volume is far-reaching both
chronologically and conceptually, thereby appropriately documenting
the universality of the theme to human experience.
Offering an examination of the paragone, meaning artistic rivalry,
in nineteenth-century France and England, this book considers how
artists were impacted by prevailing aesthetic theories, or
institutional and cultural paradigms, to compete in the art world.
The paragone has been considered primarily in the context of
Renaissance art history, but in this book readers will see how the
legacy of this humanistic competitive model survived into the late
nineteenth century.
