The remarkable naturalism of John Constable's paintings has always been acknowledged, and his 'vivid and timeless' (as he called them) oil sketches have been celebrated since the 1890s as precursors of Impressionism, modernism and photographic composition. He remains a powerful influence on contemporary artists, and was famously Lucian Freud's favourite painter. He was also hailed in 1866 as the first painter whose 'art is purely and thoroughly English', and his studio oil paintings have helped to define our idea of the English countryside. Published to accompany a major V&A exhibition, this book evaluates these aspects of Constable's work, placing the artist's naturalism and studio work in the context of his wider practice - in particular his talent for copying, and extensive print collection. A companion volume to John Constable: Oil Sketches from the Victoria and Albert Museum (page6, V&A, 2011), this book shows how the artist's reverence for the Old Masters is not incompatible with his revolutionary handling of paint: where others competed with the Masters, Constable assimilated their ideas and values to imbue his own naturalistic vision with dynamism.

L'ambition de cet ouvrage et de l'exposition (riche de plus de deux cents ouvres) qu'il accompagne, est d'abord de proposer une réflexion autour des grands thèmes qui structurent la pensée allemande de 1800 à 1939. Nous est ainsi offert, pour la première fois en France, un panorama de la création artistique allemande sur une durée relativement longue - plus d'un siècle. Les courants artistiques, du classicisme weimarien, des Nazaréens à Otto Dix, en passant par Hans von Marées, Adolf von Hildebrand ou Franz von Stuck, mais aussi du romantisme d'un Caspar David Friedrich à la "nouvelle objectivité", seront ainsi replacées dans le contexte intellectuel de leur création et confrontés aux écrits des grands penseurs au premier rang desquels Goethe. Cette approche est importante pour le public français qui connaît peu l'art allemand. Elle permet de saisir comment l'art a joué un rôle déterminant dans le développement du concept allemand de "Kultur", à un moment historique capital où l'Allemagne cherche à construire son unité et son identité nationale. La notion de "Kultur", concept hérité de la philosophie des Lumières, est apparue comme la plus susceptible de constituer le terreau sur lequel inventer une tradition allemande moderne. Si l'occupation napoléonienne a pu favoriser la prise de conscience de cette unité, fournissant l'arrière-plan politique aux premières expérimentations romantiques, la montée du nazisme, à l'autre bout du parcours chronologique, a mis en évidence la dimension tragique de ce concept, sans pour autant réussir à l'anéantir.
