Cultural historyb> - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It overlaps in its approaches with the French movements of histoire des mentalités (Philippe Poirrier, 2004) and the so-called new historyb>.
Cultural historyb>, is a literal translation of the German term Kulturgeschichte and at least in its common definition since the 1970s, often combines the approaches of anthropology and historyb> to look at popular cultural traditions and cultural interpretations of historical experience.
An area where new-style cultural historyb> is often pointed to as being almost a paradigm is the 'revisionist' historyb> of the French Revolution, dated somewhere since François Furet's massively influential 1978 essay Interpreting the French Revolution.

In some contexts, especially journalistic speech, intellectual refers to academics, generally in the humanities, especially philosophy, who speak about various issues of social or political import.
The German poet Stefan George is an example of an intellectual who rejected and despised both the academic and too public roles for an artist, and yet was highly influential.

Rule Britannia? Historyb> Painting in 18th-Century Britain - Questia Online Library

The dearth of historyb> painting is one of the most remarkable aspects of any survey of British painting between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries and yet art historians have devoted little attention to this phenomenon.
Of course, historyb> paintings have almost always been difficult to sell - a form of commercial suicide for both artist and picture dealer alike - and we have only to glance at some past commentaries for confirmation.
Some years earlier, James Ralph, a prominent writer for the political opposition and would-be historian, raised the question of why English artists rarely ventured beyond portraiture to historyb> painting in an essay published in the Weekly Register: `Sir James...

Although today, the genre is practically nonexistent, up until the latter years of the nineteenth century, the highest level of prestige a painter could hope to attain was the exalted art of painting historyb>.
I've been as guilty as any other modern day artist and writer in disparaging the pretentious role of historyb> painting in art, but believe me, whatever the pompous propaganda faults we might find with this type of work, the historyb> painter really earned his money.
Around 1780, shortly after the close of America's richest source of historyb> begging to be painted, the "handful" of American painters capable of rising to the demands of this calling amounted to John Trumbull, Thomas Sully, Gilbert Stuart, John Singleton Copley, and Benjamin West.

Art Bulletin, The: L'affaire Greuze and the sublime of historyb> painting

(6) Although admitted (agree) into the academy as a genre painter, Greuze had the audacity to submit a historyb> painting as his long-awaited official reception piece, (7) thereby attempting to elevate his academic ranking from genre painter to the more highly esteemed category of historyb> painter without the prior sanction of his senior colleagues.
The practical and theoretical consequences of this new, affective, and experientially based ideal for ambitious painting would lead to a blurring of the boundaries that had previously distinguished historyb> painter from genre painter and, ultimately, a fatal undermining of the traditional hierarchy of genres altogether.
They admitted him as a genre painter on the basis of his previous, popular, and critically acclaimed work in that category, infuriating the temperamental artist and leading him to cease exhibiting at the Salon altogether for the rest of the century.

Cultural Historyb>

One of the first major actions of the new cultural policy was the destruction of all literature and pieces of art that were ideologically unfit for the new regime.
In literature and the arts, different trends emerged, representing both echoes of contemporary European styles and efforts at the modification of the peasant, cultural thinking, mostly in the spirit of national romanticism; sometimes the relations between these two trends were antagonistic, sometimes a fusion was attempted.
They were not only concerned with problems in cultural life, such as censorship and the state monopoly of publishing, or the diminishing possibilities of using the Estonian language in the public sphere.

Lorenzo Lotto Biography / Biography of Lorenzo Lotto Biography Biography

As a historyb> painter, Lotto often presented new and elaborate inventions.
Lorenzo Lotto was born in Venice, and his early work has a decidedly crisp and clear character that shows the influence of the Venetian painters Gentile and Giovanni Bellini, although it also reflects the lyricism of Giorgione and, in the treatment of landscape, the influence of German painters and printmakers, notably Albrecht Dürer.
Lotto was a wanderer and evidently improvident, for though he was celebrated as a painter by his contemporaries he was poor.

Jean Baptiste Greuze Biography / Biography of Jean Baptiste Greuze Biography Biography

Ambitious to become a member of the academy as a historyb> painter, which was a higher rank, he was so angered by his admission as only a genre painter that he refused to show his paintings at the academy's exhibitions (the Salons).
The French painter Jean Baptiste Greuze (1725-1805) was most famous for his sentimental genre scenes of peasant life.
Greuze's pretentiously moralizing rustic dramas constituted a reaction against rococo frivolity in art; by appealing to emotion they were also a revolt against the emphasis placed upon reason and science by the philosophers of the Enlightenment, the intellectual movement that pervaded the first half of the 18th century.

However, the Surrealists themselves have objected to the study of surrealism as an era in art historyb>, claiming that it oversimplifies the complexity of the movement (which is not an artistic movement), misrepresents the relationship of surrealism to aesthetics, and falsely characterizes ongoing surrealism as a finished, historically encapsulated era.
