"Depuis les années 1960, les oeuvres en forme de musées fictifs, de collections et d'archives se multiplient. Les artistes sélectionnent, prélèvent, inventorient, enregistrent, classent, documentent, cataloguent, exhibent des matériaux déjà constitués. [...] Ce livre s'attache à saisir ce que ces oeuvres "font" aux institutions qui les appréhendent. Porteuses d'un imaginaire institutionnel, elles réactivent des formes hétérodoxes de préservation et de diffusion de l'art que les artistes ont inventées dès le XIXe siècle. Elles contribuent à instaurer de nouveaux modes de transmission des oeuvres et à renouveler les rapports entre les artistes et leurs intermédiaires." [Source : 4e de couv.]

In the mid-eighteenth century, English gentlemen filled their houses with copies and casts of classical statuary while the following generation preferred authentic antique originals. By charting this changing preference within a broader study of material culture, Joan Coutu examines the evolving articulation of the English gentleman. Then and Now consists of four case studies of mid-century collections. Three were amassed by young aristocrats - the Marquis of Rockingham, the Duke of Richmond, and the Earl of Huntingdon - who, consistent with their social standing, were touted as natural political leaders. Their collections evoke the concept of gentlemanly virtue through example, offering archetypes to encourage men toward acts of public virtue. As the aristocrats matured in the politically fractious realm of the 1760s, such virtue could become politicized. A fourth study focuses on Thomas Hollis, who used his collection to proselytize his own unique political ideology. Framed by studies of collecting practices earlier and later in the century, Coutu also explores the fluid temporal relationship with the classical past as the century progressed, firmly situating the discussion within the contemporaneous emerging field of aesthetics. Broadening the focus beyond published texts to include aesthetic conversations among the artists and the aristocracy in Italy and England, Then and Now shows how an aesthetic canon emerged - embodied in the Apollo Belvedere, the Venus de’ Medici, and the like - which shaped the Grand Manner of art.

The animateur d'art and his multiples roles. Pluridisciplinary research of these disregarded cultural mediators of the 19th and 20th centuries00This book gathers new studies, which enlighten the role of the animateur d'art in the development of the arts. The animateur d'art actively participates in the defense of the arts and in the stimulation of the artistic creation in a certain period. He is a key figure positioning himself as a mediator between the different art worlds as well as between the different agents of the cultural environment. His work also consists in building bridges between the artists and his own cultural environment in order to ease the reception of the works and to promote art movements. The authors who contributed to this publication offer a first portrait of this cultural actor who influenced the art scenes from the 19th century to the present.
