"Seeking to bring Gallic sophistication and worldly elegance into their galleries and drawing rooms, wealthy Americans of the late 19th and early 20th centuries collected the work of William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1825-1905) in record numbers. This revelatory volume offers an in-depth exploration of Bouguereau's overwhelming popularity in turn-of-the-century America and the ways that his work...widely known from reviews, exhibitions, and inexpensive reproductions...resonated with the American public. While also lauded by the French artistic establishment and a dominant presence at the Parisian Salons, Bouguereau achieved his greatest success selling his idealized and polished paintings to a voracious American market. In this book, the authors discuss how the artist's sensual classical maidens, Raphaelesque Madonnas, and pristine peasant children embodied the tastes of American Gilded Age patrons, and how Bouguereau's canvases persuasively functioned as freshly painted Old Masters for collectors flush with new money"...
Note:
"This book is published in conjunction with the exhibition Bouguereau and America, presented at the Milwaukee Art Museum from February 15-May 12, 2019; Memphis Brooks Museum of Art, June 22-September 22, 2019; San Diego Museum of Art, November 9, 2019-March 15, 2020.". - Includes bibliographical references and index
