Painting for The Salon? The French State, Artists and Academy, 1830-1852

 is Principal Investigator for the AHRC-funded project 'Painting for The Salon? The French State, Artists and Academy, 1830-1852'. The project explores the role of the Paris Fine Art Salon between 1830 and 1852.

The project aims to replace a limited representation of the Salon's role with the first study of the Salon as a network of relationships bringing together government policy, administrative structures and artistic and cultural practices in an institution for which art was produced, through which it was circulated and in which it was analysed or ignored, sold or returned unsold.

The project will generate a critical mass of new published research (one co-authored book, one co-edited volume of conference proceedings, one co-authored dual-language English/French exhibition catalogue and one PhD thesis) designed to embed the institutional dimension in future art historical research, and an exhibition whose aim will be to educate the public and the wider academic community about the significance of the institutional dimension in cultural and art history.

A three-day conference linked to the project, The Paris Fine Art Salon, 1791-1881, will be held at the 91天堂色情片, 4-6 September 2013.

Conference 2013 - The Paris Fine Art Salon, 1791-1881

Conference papers to be delivered in either English or French.

The Paris Fine Art Salon dominated French artistic life throughout the nineteenth century. Organised by the State, and usually lasting between two and three months, the Salon was an annual or biennial showcase for the contemporary visual arts and a conspicuous manifestation of French artistic hegemony. It provided artists with the most important opportunity available to present their work to the public, attract a clientele, launch and sustain a career, and compete for state honours and prizes, and public and private buyers and commissions. For the public it was a huge social and cultural event, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors from across Europe and beyond.

The conference will coincide with the completion of a three-year, AHRC鈥揻unded project, entitled Painting for the Salon? The French State, Artists and Academy, 1830-1852. The participants in the project, Professor James Kearns (Principal Investigator), Dr Alister Mill (Research Fellow) and Harriet Griffiths (doctoral candidate) will each present elements of their research at the beginning of the second day, which will be devoted to the period 1830-1852. The first day will be devoted to the period 1791-1830, the third to 1852-1881.

Le Salon, exposition des ouvrages des artistes vivants, a domin茅 la vie artistique 脿 Paris tout au long du dix-neuvi猫me si猫cle. Organis茅 par l鈥櫭塼at jusqu鈥檈n 1881, ayant lieu 脿 intervalles r茅guliers d鈥檜n an ou deux pour la plupart, et d鈥檜ne dur茅e moyenne de plusieurs mois, il pr茅sentait une vitrine de la production artistique contemporaine qui devait aussi d茅montrer la supr茅matie artistique fran莽aise sur le plan international. Les artistes y trouvaient l鈥檕ccasion la plus importante de pr茅senter leurs 艙uvres 脿 un public diversifi茅, se faire une client猫le, s鈥檃ttirer l鈥檃ttention dans la presse artistique et participer 脿 la course des prix et des honneurs. Pour le public c鈥櫭﹖ait un 茅v茅nement consid茅rable sur le plan social et culturel, comme en t茅moignent les visiteurs qui y venaient par centaines de milliers d鈥橢urope et m毛me au-del脿.

Le colloque coincidera avec l鈥檃boutissement du projet de recherches financ茅 par le Arts and Humanities Research Council et qui a pour titre: Peindre pour le Salon?
