Full textThe 1867 world fair of Paris permitted to study a certain French craze towards industrial exhibitions. The following groups contributed to the event: industrials - for commercial and strategic reasons, the Government - promoting its economic policy subsequently to the free trade agreement of 1860 between Great Britain and France, the elite -intending to improve product designs and reinforce professional training. The organisation benefited from the experience of Frederic Le Play, head of the Imperial Commission, who contributed to major evolutions. These included pavilions, greater autonomy for exhibitors, working class concerns and the advent of large scale entertainment. The exhibition was an organisational success with mixed results. The French industry had been modernised and France was always the leading nation in arts and crafts. Nevertheless the USA and German states had shown to make rapid progress; Socil concerns of the paternalists had sadely little impact on workers

Full textThe 1900 Paris World’s Fair represented, for the artists of the Art Nouveau movement, an encounter unique by its international audience. Though this event was overlooked for a long time, it was nevertheless a moment of confrontation and the occasion, for some countries, to showcase their stylistic modernity. The first part of the dissertation endeavours to understand the reasons of the Art Nouveau presence at the Fair and gives an overview of the buildings and the decorative art objects which can be linked to this style. It examines the artistic, but also political and commercial stakes of Art Nouveau for each country. The second part examines the critical reception of Art Nouveau by its contemporaries, observing their diverse or even antagonistic reactions, according to the artists or the nationalities. Indeed, alternately cosmopolitan and nationalist, Art Nouveau was then far from being perceived as a homogeneous movement, and the Fair sparked a series of debates that contributed as much to define it as to discredit it. Finally, the third part studies the long-term consequences of the Fair: by analyzing the repercussions on the artists’ careers, the admission of Art Nouveau in European museums, the following exhibitions and the continued artistic debate, this part aims at assessing the place of the Fair in the history of Art Nouveau. A volume of annexes gathers maps and general views of the Fair, along with a catalogue of more than 800 entries, illustrating the Art nouveau works exhibited in decorative arts and architecture

Full textAccording to a widely-accepted idea, debussy's work was deeply influenced by javanese music at the universal exhibition of 1889. After closer study, it can be noted that no thorough analysis of that supposedly obvious statement has ever been done. In a first part this work aims at bringing the evidence of that influence. In a second part we leave debussy in order to show that, in his wake, a fair number of french composers paid a particular attention to gamelan music. Although it has never been. Demonstrated, debussy's admiration for java has been acknowledged for a long time. However this is rarely mentioned as far as ravel is concerned. Though it does not affect his music in such a drastic way, yet the gamelan influence is omnipresent in laideronnette imperatrice des pagodes. We have devoted a few pages to the study of this work and attempted to demonstrate that a lot of musical parameters pertain to extra-european techniques. If java left a mark on the minds of debussy and ravel, from the 1930's trench artists rather started looking toward bali. This new trend can be explained because of certain number of reasons - both political and esthetic - into which we have given some insight. We deal with works of messiaen, jolivet, varese, boulez, dutilleux, mache, eloy, aperghis. We have not in the least attempted to set up a complete catalogue of trench composers connected with balinese music. We have chosen to study the materials used by each of them in order to single out the elements pertaining to indonesian techniques. Althought our approach is not of an ethnomusicological nature, we have thought appropriate to include further information particularly a chapter on the instruments, illustrated by photographs that we have taken in java and bali

Full textThe year 1900 marks the theoretical end of the 19th century, the last years of which still too often translate in people’s mind to irreversibly opposing Academism and Avant-garde. While the first one is sometimes synonymous of artistic sclerosis and ageing painters, the latter is still considered nowadays as a victim of the Fine Arts official system, finding its salvation only in parallel networks operated by galleries and art dealers. The study of painting exhibitions which took place in Paris during the year 1900 tends to go back on this presupposition. The shows are put together by different structures such as the Universal Exposition, the Salon of the Société des Artistes français or independent art dealers, yet a thorough analysis of their organization and content brings to light the various footbridges that exist between the official and the mercantile spheres at the turn of the century. It is thus by confronting the entirety of the Parisian painting exhibitions in the year 1900 that this thesis offers to render the complexity of the Parisian artistic world of the time, the multiple faces taken on by the pictorial French school, and above all the permeability between Academism, modernity and Avant-garde

Full textCoubertin wished to organize the first games of the modern era in Paris in 1900, within the framework of, or in connection with, the World Fair. But from January 1894, Alfred Picard, the World Fair General Commissioner, rejected his proposal, rather choosing to organize physical exercises and sport competitions, thus depriving Coubertin of the supports who would have allowed him to organize Olympic Games. Therefore the only solution left for the IOC President was to keep up appearances, in order to ensure the survival of the rising Olympic movement. He made it so well that the myth of the 1900 Olympic Games still goes on, a myth preserved by the IOC itself. The purpose of this thesis is to separate fact from fiction about the so-called 1900 “Olympic Games” which n fact never occurred

Full textThe purpose of this thesis is to retrace the history of the transnational exchange between Ecuador and France from 1875 to 1929. This was a period of scientific, cultural and political exchange that determined the structure of the practices for collecting Indigenous objects, and the beginning of the museum phenomenon in these two nations. The historiographic survey of various archival and museum collections in Ecuador and France has made it possible to shed light on the nascent stages of the formation of school, municipal and ethnographic collections by different agencies (travelers, scientists, or diplomats) that were operating in the name of science, their homeland, and the new capitalist dynamics. These social networks that developed between the scholars of these two nations made it possible to distinguish between actors that were considered secondary (namely the landscape architect Édouard André or the huaquero éclairé Alcides Destruge), to identify “lost” collections (such as the collections of Auguste Cousin, Dominique-Vivant Denon, and the Trésor de Cuenca), and to analyze the influence between Ecuador and France during the stages in which the school, municipal and ethnographic museums were being set up. Thus, the artefacts that were collected are considered as documental sources that contributed to order the development of global science and the construction of modern nation-states. The Franco-Ecuadorian elites that were motivated by their economic, political and nationalist interests were responsible for presenting national material culture through the prism of the colonial discourse at international exhibitions in Paris. The new museums that were subsequently created would convey this image of an exotic country (savage and Incan) that will be presented as an objective representation of Western modernity until the following century

Full textThis Ph. D. dissertation investigates images of Native Americans displayed at the Paris Salons and in the Fine Art sections of the Great Exhibitions of 1855, 1868, 1878, 1889 and 1900. My analysis starts with the first outbreak of the theme at the 1781 Salon and ends following its gradual dismissal at the beginning of the First World War. The body of artworks I analyze documents three main campaigns of representation marked by the history of Native Americans and Whites relations. These representations reveal an artistic figure both attractive and repulsive at the same time. The rhetoric of the disappearance of the “Noble Indian” alternates with degrading images of the “Savage Indians”. Our study reveals the origins of collective imagination and racial stereotypes that originate representations of “Indians”. But this iconography is also based on artists’ itinerancies and their migration to the West in order to meet their models. The artistic production of this small group of French and American artists can not be reduced exclusively to the two aesthetic patterns previously discussed. Their travels on the North American territory and their attention to Native American Art encourage new artistic horizons at the Paris venues. This thesis is also an opportunity to study the image of the Native American “Others” displayed in the competitive Fine Art sections of the Great Exhibitions. It brings out a discourse promoting the figure of the “Indian” to build an American art with its own aesthetic in response to French artistic influences
