The World in Paint: Modern Art and Visuality in England, 1848-1914

The World in Paint: Modern Art and Visuality in England, 1848-1914
Paintings of a "kept woman" sitting in her lover's lap, of the Lady of Shalott, of Merlin the magician, of an explosive, abstract pattern--some rendered in meticulous detail, others only sketched--appear side by side in David Peters Corbett's book on English art. The sharp differences in style abradale book impressionism world and in subject matter are striking abradale book impressionism world and significant, but they are not presented in any of the usual ways. They are not seen as markers of a progressive development, expressions of strong personalities, or signs of English artists' inability or reluctance to master French Impressionism. All these familiar narratives are abandoned in Corbett's book, which, in their stead, proposes a new way of looking at English painting from the Pre-Raphaelites to Wyndham Lewis abradale book impressionism world and the Vorticists. An award-winning art historian, Corbett contends that from 1848 to 1914, English artists confronted a world in which the rise of science abradale book impressionism world and decline in religion deprived painting of many of its traditional functions abradale book impressionism world and powers. Yet these same changes, according to Corbett, presented the possibility that painting could become a crucial means of mediating the widely decried materialism of industrial society. It could expose the values that had been lost, reveal hidden spiritual abradale book impressionism world and emotional resources, or, alternatively, welcome abradale book impressionism world and champion the dynamics of modernism. Corbett makes persuasive use of a wide range of sources, including contemporary art criticism, artists' letters, literature, and, not surprisingly, the torrent of publicity touched off by the Whistler versus Ruskin trial of 1877. But what gives his book originality is its incisive discussion of aesthetic issues that art historians, intent on social history,have generally overlooked. Corbett puts readers in contact with debates about visual experience, the handling of paint, codes of beauty, abradale book impressionism world and questions of meaning. Many of Corbett's points entail close analysis of art.
