The period, which gave rise to such luminaries as Karl Marx and Charles Darwin, was also characterized by civic upheaval, quantum leaps in science and technology, and the increasing secularization of intellectual pursuits and ordinary life. In a sweeping narrative that adds critical depth to a key epoch in modern art's history, Art in an Age of Civil Struggle shows how this turbulent social environment served as an incubator for the mid-nineteenth century's most important artists and writers. Tracing the various movements of realism through the major metropolitan centers of Europe and America, Boime strikingly evokes the milieus that shaped the lives and works of Gustave Courbet, Edouard Manet, Émile Zola, Honoré Daumier, Walt Whitman, Abraham Lincoln, and the earliest photographers, among countless others. In doing so, he spearheads a powerful new way of reassessing how art emerges from the welter of cultural and political events and the artist's struggle to interpret his surroundings. Boime supports this multifaceted approach with a wealth of illustrations and written sources that demonstrate the intimate links between visual culture and social change. Culminating at the transition to impressionism, Art in an Age of Civil Struggle makes historical sense of a movement that paved the way for avant-garde aesthetics and, more broadly, of how a particular style emerges at a particular moment. 410 0$aSocial History of Modern Art 606 $aArt, European$y19th century 606 $aArt and society$zEurope$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aArt and revolutions$zEurope$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aRealism in art$zEurope 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aArt, European 615 0$aArt and society$xHistory 615 0$aArt and revolutions$xHistory 615 0$aRealism in art 676 $a709.03/4 700 $aBoime$b Albert$0484167 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453762103321 996 $aArt in an age of civil struggle, 1848-1871$91980387 997 $aUNINA
