| Summary |
In this volume are assembled all of Baudelaire's important accounts of art-exhibitions held in Paris between 1845 and 1862 : the three Salons, of which we wrote extended reviews; the Exposition Universalle, on which only three of a projected set of articles were written and published, owing to some kind of dispute with his editor - the first of these however contains a major statement of his critical method; a special exhibition held at the Bazar Bonne-Nouvelle in 1846, which gave him the opportunity to expound his views on David and his School; and the article 'Painters and Etchers', of 1862, which includes the only reference to Manet published by Baudelaire, as well as an enthusiastic welcome to Whistler. Taken together with it's companion-volume, The Painter of Modern Life (Phaidon, 1964), Art in Paris 1845-1862 covers the whole of Baudelaire's preoccupation with the visual arts of his time. His greatness as a power has long been acknowledged in this country. His rights to the title of 'first aesthetician of his age', which has often been accorded him, are now available for our consideration |
