Maker of Myth

Gauguin

Although the women of the Union were often quite conservative politically, socially, and stylistically, says Garb, they believed that women had a special gift that would enhance France's cultural reputation and maintain the uplifting moral-cultural position that seemed in jeopardy at the turn of the century. Focusing on the developments that made the prominence of the organisation possible, Garb discusses the growth of the women's movement, educational reforms, institutional changes in the art world, and critical debates and contemporary scientific thought.

Esta obra analiza la historia de la pintura francesa en el siglo XIX tratando de definir qué es moderno de aquella pintura y en qué radica, relacionándolo con las transformaciones de París -especialmente bajo los auspicios del barón Haussman-, con la mentalidad y usos de la burguesía del momento, y con la capacidad de esa pintura de reflejar todos los cambios que se estaban produciendo en el entorno y en la sociedad.
