Fantin-Latour

29 September 2009—10 January 2010

Madrid, Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza

This is the first retrospective exhibition of the work of Henri Fantin-Latour to be held in Spain. It is jointly organised with the Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian in Lisbon, where it can be seen from 26 June to 6 September 2009. An artist of the generation of Manet, Degas and Whistler, Fantin-Latour (Grenoble, 1836 – Buré, 1904) shared many of their ideas but for various complex reasons has not been considered one of the great pioneers of modern art. The present exhibition aims to rectify that position and will present a comprehensive selection of more than 70 oil paintings and drawings representing the finest examples of his work, loaned from museums and collections worldwide.

Watteau to Degas: French Drawings from the Frits Lugt Collection

New York : the Frick

Frits Lugt was a Dutch art historian, connoisseur, and collector. His collection of prints and drawings is widely regarded by specialists as one of the finest of its kind, but it is less well known to the general public. The exhibition presents more than sixty of Lugt's most beautiful eighteenth- and nineteenth-century French drawings, including sheets by masters of the French School such as Watteau, Boucher, Fragonard, David, Ingres, and Degas.

The Joseloff Gallery at the University of Hartford

The exhibition juxtaposes artworks from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, mostly drawn from the Museum’s collection, with works by contemporary artists, many of whom pay direct homage to Romantic and academic traditions, while others use irony and humor to celebrate the genre in today’s world. To discuss the links and crossovers, Dr. J. David Farmer, Dahesh’s Director of Exhibitions, will join in a panel discussion on drawing—then and now.

Becoming An Artist: The Academy in 19th-Century France

26 February–>

New York, Dahesh Museum of Art and Syracuse University at Lubin House / Palitz Gallery at 11 East 61st Street

Becoming An Artist revisits the rigorous, competitive system of art education in 19th-century France that produced academic masters like Gérôme and Bouguereau, while influencing American artists and American institutions created to train them. The exhibition also offers viewers a rare opportunity to think about how contemporary artists are trained, and what has been gained or lost as the century rolled forward

Facing the Late Victorians : Portraits of Writers and Artists from the Mark Samuels Lasner Collection

5 March-5 June 2010

Tampa, Florida Henry B. Plant Museum

When the Tampa Bay Hotel opened in 1891, Hotel guests were reading Robert Louis Stevenson, Thomas Hardy, and George Eliot and talking about the latest paintings by James McNeill Whistler and John Singer Sargent. They congregated on the veranda and in the Grand Salon to recite the poems of Alfred Lord Tennyson and chuckled with amusement at Oscar Wilde’s witticisms. These celebrities and their works were part of their lives. Today, Museum guests will laugh and gossip as they explore the world made relevant by these famous artists and writers.

The Henry B. Plant Museum presents an exhibition that examines noted Victorians through portraits.  Facing the Late Victorians: Portraits of Writers and Artists from the Mark Samuels Lasner Collection will provide the opportunity for visitors to come face to face with famous British poets, painters, novelists, playwrights and illustrators.

This exhibition will take audiences back more than one hundred years to explore a phenomenon that will seem astonishingly modern and familiar. Like the world we know now, Britain at the end of the nineteenth century was a nation filled with images. Whether circulating by means of posters, books, newspapers, magazines, cards, and advertisements, or hanging on the walls of art galleries and of private homes, images were everywhere. As is true today, what people most wanted to see then were images of faces and bodies, especially those of celebrities. A visual industry arose in the late Victorian period to satisfy the demand for portraits in every medium and to reproduce these on a mass scale. Pictures of monarchs and stage performers, of course, were in great demand; more surprisingly, so were portraits of what we might call cultural celebrities—that is, writers and artists. Figures such as Oscar Wilde, Robert Louis Stevenson, Aubrey Beardsley, James McNeill Whistler, W. B. Yeats, ‘George Eliot,’ and the feminist ‘New Women’ writers were as famous for the way they looked and dressed as for anything they created. 

Writers and artists trafficked in commodities, and they became commodities. Their portraits also provided material for other workers in this industry, such as caricaturists, who knew that the public took just as great a delight in seeing its cultural heroes skewered as idealized. These caricature artists, in turn, became celebrities themselves thanks to the ‘New Journalism,’ which was eager to circulate unflattering images of the same poets and painters it made famous. 

Facing the Late Victorians features portraits of dozens of well-known figures such as George Bernard Shaw, J. M. Barrie, H. G. Wells, Arthur Conan Doyle, Thomas Hardy, Henry James, and John Singer Sargent, who dominated the world of the arts, along with pioneering children’s book authors and illustrators, such as E. Nesbit and Kate Greenaway. Many of these are rarely seen images, such as Max Beerbohm’s savage caricature of Oscar Wilde’s head, which seems to decay before our eyes faster than did Dorian Gray’s face. But the show ranges widely to include photographs and drawings of many lesser lights whose work was important in advancing British art and literature—once celebrated writers such as the feminist novelist Olive Schreiner and the Catholic poet Alice Meynell, as well as the artists Ida Nettleship and William Rothenstein.  

Of special note is a rare etching  of famous actress Sarah Bernhardt, who gave her farewell performance at the Tampa Bay Hotel’s casino in 1906.

The show draws its sixty items from the Mark Samuels Lasner Collection, on loan to the University of Delaware Library. Margaret D. Stetz, the exhibition’s curator, is the Mae and Robert Carter Professor of Women’s Studies and Professor of Humanities at the University of Delaware.
