More than that of any other modern people French art is a national expression. It epitomizes very definitely the national æsthetic judgment and feeling, and if its manifestations are even more varied than are elsewhere to be met with, they share a certain character that is very salient. Of almost any French picture or statue of any modern epoch one's first thought is that it is French. The national quite overshadows the personal quality. In the field of the fine arts, as in nearly every other in which the French genius shows itself, the results are evident of an intellectual co-operation which insures the development of a common standard and tends to subordinate idiosyncrasy. The fine arts, as well as every other department of mental activity, reveal the effect of that social instinct which is so much more powerful in France than it is anywhere else, or has ever been elsewhere, except possibly in the case of the Athenian republic. Add to this influence that of the intellectual as distinguished from the sensuous instinct, and one has, I think, the key to this salient characteristic of French art which strikes one so sharply and always as so plainly French. As one walks through the French rooms at the Louvre, through the galleries of the Luxembourg, through the unending rooms of the Salon he is impressed by the splendid competence everywhere displayed, the high standard of culture universally attested, by the overwhelming evidence that France stands at the head of the modern world æsthetically—but not less, I think, does one feel the absence of imagination, opportunity, of spirituality, of poetry in a word. The French themselves feel something of this. At the great Exposition of 1889 no pictures were so much admired by them as the English, in which appeared, even to an excessive degree, just the qualities in which French art is lacking, and which less than those of any other school showed traces of the now all but universal influence of French art. The most distinct and durable impression left by any exhibition of French pictures is that the French æsthetic genius is at once admirably artistic and extremely little poetic.

Marshall Watson’s first book reveals how to make traditional interiors fresh. Known for his meticulously researched, European-inspired style, Marshall Watson creates interiors that are rich in texture, detail, and simple luxuries. In his first book, Watson shares his finest work, demonstrating that while each of these homes is as unique as its owner, they all adhere to principles that transform a mere series of spaces into a genuine, coherent home: warmth; light; peace; comfort; balance; proportion; livability; and last but not least, appropriateness. Whether in an Italianate villa in Los Cabos or a family idyll on a Swedish island, a Gramercy Park apartment that blends shimmer and restraint, or a Newport Beach cottage warmed by walls finished in egg-yolk yellow, Watson explains how he translated each family’s lifestyle and aspirations, the house’s history, and the surrounding environment into a highly original form of elegance—and how anyone can discover his or her own. Beautifully photographed with lavish images of Watson’s work, this inspiring book is a must-have for interior design lovers.

How did the statues of ancient Greece wind up dictating art history in the West? How did the material culture of the Greeks and Romans come to be seen as "classical" and as "art"? What does "classical art" mean across time and place? In this ambitious, richly illustrated book, art historian and classicist Caroline Vout provides an original history of how classical art has been continuously redefined over the millennia as it has found itself in new contexts and cultures. All of this raises the question of classical art's future. What we call classical art did not simply appear in ancient Rome, or in the Renaissance, or in the eighteenth-century Academy. Endlessly repackaged and revered or rebuked, Greek and Roman artifacts have gathered an amazing array of values, both positive and negative, in each new historical period, even as these objects themselves have reshaped their surroundings. Vout shows how this process began in antiquity, as Greeks of the Hellenistic period transformed the art of fifth-century Greece, and continued through the Roman empire, Constantinople, European court societies, the neoclassical English country house, and the nineteenth century, up to the modern museum. A unique exploration of how each period of Western culture has transformed Greek and Roman antiquities and in turn been transformed by them, this book revolutionizes our understanding of what classical art has meant and continues to mean.

Brand new full-color edition with 49 reproductions of classic masterpieces. Adapted from his Scammon Lectures at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1911, Kenyon Cox lays the groundwork of a rational perspective of art history for painters and art connoisseurs seeking to learn the key elements that instilled life and nobility in the paintings of the great masters, from the Quattrocento to the Rococo. Cox explains how the strict naturalism taught at the later French Academy, though technically advanced, failed to capture the expressive vigor found in the paintings of earlier masters, and how the confusion of aesthetic cross currents reacting against the Academy in the nineteenth century deviated into the jejune theories of modern art.This edition features 49 full color reproductions of masterpieces by Giotto, Leonardo da Vinci, Pietro Perugino, Raphael, Sandro Botticelli, Michelangelo Buonarroti, Titian, Tintoretto, Peter Paul Rubens, Hans Holbein the Younger, Giorgione, Rembrandt van Rijn, Jean-Baptiste Greuze, William Hogarth, Nicolas Poussin, Diego Velázquez, Paolo Veronese, Antonio da Correggio, Jan van Eyck, Andrea Mantegna, Anthony van Dyck, Eugène Delacroix, Lawrence Alma-Tadema, Kenyon Cox, Jean-François Millet, Alfred Stevens, Emanuel Leutze, Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, Winslow Homer, Jean-Honoré Fragonard, Jacques-Louis David, Pierre-Paul Prud'hon, Pierre Puvis de Chavannes, Jules Dupré, and Jean-Antoine Watteau.
