Thorough, easy to follow, overall a great book

Albert Boime

University Of Chicago Press, 2008

From the European revolutions of 1848 through the Italian independence movement, the American Civil War, and the French Commune, the era Albert Boime explores in this fourth volume of his epic series was, in a word, transformative.

Art and the French Commune
Albert Boime

Princeton University Press, 1997

Fascinating Reexamination of the Roots of Impressionism
Professor Boime's book is quite an eye-opener. The gorgeous and "Modern Art" that we know today as Impressionsim is thrown up against the backdrop of the terrible events of the Paris Commune. Boime's major point, and a fair one, is that the absence of any images of the ...
  
  











  



  
Revelation of Modernism: Responses to Cultural Crises in Fin-de-siècle Painting
Albert Boime

University of Missouri Press, 2008

Boime reappraises specific works by Van Gogh, Seurat, Cézanne, and Gauguin from a perspective more appreciative of the individuals' inner conflicts, offering a new understanding of a period fraught with apocalyptic fears and existential anxieties. Boime rejects popular notions of art for art's sake and rethinks an entire movement to suggest that ...

Albert Boime

The Art of Exclusion: Representing Blacks in the Nineteenth Century
Albert Boime

Smithsonian Institution Press, 1990

Not all exceptional art is of European origin
Having read this book years ago, its focus is not only on the art produced by persons of African origin, but the history of social attitudes toward persons of any color and how it sterotyped persons based on color. It is not just a history of the evolution of Black ...
  
  











  



  
The Academy and French Painting in the 19th Century
Albert Boime

Yale Univ Pr, 1986

landmark research
Boime's argument that the Academy's pedagogical practices were the genesis of the Impressionism that supplanted it is brilliantly explicated. Its subtlety and nuance render other theories of development simplistic. A must read for serious students of the period and ...
