Zusatztext "This fascinating book takes a new look at the artist, arguing his success in redefining 'Frenchness' through his ability to translate the nation into visual form that rendered it legible, all the while keeping away from nationalist rhetoric." --EuropeNow "Dandona has done a masterful job of identifying and interpreting archival materials, and she demonstrates consummate skill at interpreting the art works not only through documentation and historical context, but also through careful looking. ...It’s a 'must-read' for anyone interested in late nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century French culture." --Nineteenth-Century Art Worldwide Informationen zum Autor Jessica M. Dandona is Associate Professor of Liberal Arts at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. She earned her PhD in the History of Art from the University of California at Berkeley. Recent publications include contributions to Picturing Evolution and Extinction (2016) and to Place and Locality in Modern France (2014).
