Book excerpt: French Sculpture Following the Franco-Prussian War, 1870-80 investigates the role played by the trope of the 'strong woman, fallen man' in re-establishing morale among the French people following the Franco-Prussian War. The study explores how certain French sculptors - including Falgui?, Merci?Barrias, and Rodin - presented this recent history of defeat in commemorative monuments that increasingly dominated public space across France during the final decades of the nineteenth century. Though it focuses on French nationalism and the commemoration of war (or, as is the case with the French following the Franco-Prussian War, the commemoration of defeat), this volume also examines shifts in gender roles in the latter half of the nineteenth century, and the impact of military defeat on relations between the sexes. The book probes the aesthetic discourse of the period concerning the merits of traditional allegorical sculpture versus new-fangled realist sculpture in depicting modern life. Drawing on extensive archival research, Michael Dorsch gives a voice to the sculptures he discusses, restoring these often ignored works to their proper place in history.

Book excerpt: L'extraordinaire abondance de sculptures françaises aux Etats-Unis est révélatrice d'un goût spécifique pour ce domaine de l'art français, mais aussi de la grande proximité des relations historiques et artistiques franco-américaines. Les Etats-Unis sont le pays en-dehors de la France qui compte le plus grand nombre de sculptures françaises et ces dernières y représentent de très loin l'essentiel des sculptures étrangères.Une fois rassemblées, combinées, reliées, elles tissent l'histoire d'un goût. Leur étude permet de déceler des tendances et des périodes, d'identifier des personnalités de marchands, collectionneurs et conservateurs, et de comprendre les canaux d'approvisionnement de ce commerce transatlantique, du lieu de production au lieu de consommation, du lieu de création au lieu d'appréciation.Le propos de cet ouvrage est de donner vie et signification à ces oeuvres en les replaçant dans leur contexte américain.Une première partie souligne le rôle éminemment politique et officiel, outil de message politique lorsqu'il s'agit de célébrer les héros de l'Indépendance américaine, ou de propagande commerciale et industrielle lorsque la France se montre dans le cadre des expositions universelles. Dès sa naissance, les sculpteurs français ont été associés au développement de la nation américaine et de sa société.La deuxième partie est consacrée à la part que prirent les sculpteurs français dans le décor urbain américain, ainsi que dans l'art des parcs et jardins. Ils contribuèrent largement à l'introduction du style Art déco en sculpture ornementale.La troisième partie célèbre la sculpture comme objet de collection, recherchée non plus pour le personnage qu'elle représente, ni pour son rôle de complément de l'architecture, mais véritablement comme objet dont la beauté formelle est l'atout premier.La quatrième et dernière partie est consacrée au sculpteur Auguste Rodin. Rodin était tout à la fois : il représentait l'art d'aujourd'hui, celui du Salon auquel il en
