A Revolution in Taste: Francis Haskell’s Nineteenth Century
St John’s College and the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, 23–24 October 2015

A two-day conference is to be held at St John’s College, Oxford and the Ashmolean Museum to explore the work of art historian Francis Haskell (1928–2000). Writing at the intersection of cultural history, art history and the history of ideas, Haskell made a seminal contribution to the study of the formation of taste in nineteenth-century Britain and Europe.

The conference will revisit terrain mapped out by Haskell in Rediscoveries in Art, namely the transformation of the art world between the 1770s and 1870s, a period when war, revolution, plunder and state-formation brought fundamental changes to the knowledge of and trade in Old Master paintings. Distinguished speakers include scholars and curators from Britain, France and Italy. The conference aims to comprehend the forces which transformed how art was acquired, displayed and interpreted in the nineteenth century. But it will also grapple with the methodological and philosophical issues raised by Haskell’s provocative approach to the history of collecting.

Both days of the conference will be held in the auditorium of St Johns College, Oxford. Delegates at the conference will receive lunch, teas and coffee, and a wine reception at the Ashmolean on Friday 23rd from 18.00 to 19.30 (this event is free although places are limited so it is essential to register). The fee for attending both days is £80 for professionals (£35 for students); the cost of attending for just one day is £45 for professionals (£20 for students). Registration for the conference is open until October 15th. To book, please follow this link.

The conference is organized by Dr Tom Stammers, cultural historian at the University of Durham and visiting Deakin Fellow in Oxford (2014–15). For all inquiries contact Tom directly (t.e.stammers@durham.ac.uk) or write to the conference email address francishaskell2015@gmail.com.

Penser le Rococo (XVIIIe–XXIe siècles) / Reconsidering the Rococo
Université de Lausanne, 5–6 November 2015

Le rococo, en dépit de la méfiance ou de l’ironie qu’il suscite, occupe une place centrale dans l’historiographie. En tant que catégorie stylistique et critique, il structure notre appréhension de l’art du XVIIIe siècle et détermine le regard que l’on porte sur celui-ci. Ce colloque, conçu en écho aux stimulantes recherches de ces vingt dernières années sur le rococo, vise à développer une réflexion épistémologique sur une notion protéiforme. La perspective privilégée pour ce colloque est celle, critique, de l’étude d’une notion devenue catégorie, le rococo, appelant à réfléchir sur son apparition, sa sédimentation, sa diffusion. Quelles sont les premières formulations de ce terme ? Sur quels présupposés se fonde-t-il ? Comment devient-il un canon formel et esthétique ? De quelles sources se nourrit-il ? En fonction de quels enjeux établit-on les frontières et les corpus du rococo ? Comment la situation d’énonciation des exégètes, aux XIXe, XXe et XXIe siècles, a-t-elle orienté la mise en récit de son histoire ? Comment les idées véhiculées dans leurs travaux agissent-elles sur la production tardive d’objets imitant le XVIIIe siècle ? Comment ces revivals agissent-ils en retour sur notre compréhension du rococo ?

Despite the scepticism or irony which it provokes, the notion of the Rococo occupies a central position within the historiography of 18th-century art. It structures our understanding of this epoch and determines the way in which we see it. This symposium, planned as an answer to the stimulating research of the last twenty years on the Rococo, aims at an epistemological reflection on a protean notion which was progressively defined as a style during the 19th century. This symposium therefore favours a critical approach to this notion, urging contributors to reconsider how it emerged, how it was formed and diffused. What were the first manifestations of the Rococo, on what preconceived ideas was it founded, and how did it become a formal and aesthetic canon? Which sources did it draw upon? What ideas and categories have been used to structure it? How were the boundaries of the Rococo established? How has the context in which interpreters have written about the Rococo oriented the formulation of narratives during the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries? How have the ideas upon which their work is founded inflected the production of imitations of 18th-century objects? How have these revivals, in turn, acted upon our understanding of the Rococo?

Asian Gardens in the West
Haus der Universität Düsseldorf and Benrath Palace, Düsseldorf, 1–3 October 2015

Organized by the Department of Japanese Studies, University of Düsseldorf, and the Benrath Palace and Park Foundation

Many people in the West believe that Asian gardens are mystic places indicating a very special and subtle understanding of nature and a refined aestheticism. The symposium traces the history of these notions back to the 18th and 19th centuries and shows how Western and Asian pundits, gardeners and officials together created these visions of Asian gardens. We also ask about current trends in building and interpreting Asian gardens in the West.

Japanese gardens come to mind as a prime example of Asian gardens in the West as they are one of the strongest symbols for Japan. Their long-lasting fashion started in the second half of the 19th century because Japanese governments used gardens to represent the country at world’s fairs, albeit with no clear comprehension of the concept of a ‘Japanese garden’. Only through the international appreciation did the Japanese begin to fully understand the merit of gardens for self-representation. As a consequence Japanese garden experts created a canonized idea of the aesthetic arrangement of Japanese gardens.

However, Japanese gardens are not the only example of the spatial staging of a national Asian identity. Already in the 18th century, Chinese garden art had become fashionable in Europe. Yet Chinese gardeners and garden experts were only very marginally involved in this vogue. Western garden enthusiasts—mostly aristocrats—built Chinese gardens following accounts of Asia which were written by Jesuits and merchants. In the last three to four decades many Chinese gardens have been built in North America and Europe once again.

As leading Asian countries, China and Japan are role models for self-representation through cultural diplomacy. Thus Chinese and Japanese gardens incite other Asian countries as well as Western garden experts to build Korean, Indonesian and Indian gardens.

L’architecture et l’urbanisme des ingénieurs, 1650–1850: Paris, province et capitales européennes
Versailles, Bibliothèque municipale Galerie des Affaires étrangères, 10 October 2015

Louis-Nicolas Van Blarenberghe, Vue de l’accident survenu en 1759 sur le chantier de l’Hôtel des Affaires étrangères et de la Marine à Versailles, 1759, BMV, ©Pierrick Daul

Les années 1980 furent propices à l’étude du travail des ingénieurs : en 1981, Anne Blanchard publiait un Dictionnaire des ingénieurs militaires actifs en France entre 1691 et 1791, témoignant par son volume de l’importance de leur activité, tandis qu’en 1988, Antoine Picon, dans son ouvrage Architectes et ingénieurs au siècle des Lumières, accordait enfin aux ingénieurs des Ponts l’attention qu’ils méritaient et examinait leur formation et leurs méthodes de travail au regard de celles des architectes de l’Académie royale d’architecture.

Au-delà des programmes attendus, fortifications, ouvrages hydrauliques, ponts et routes, les ingénieurs, militaires et des Ponts et Chaussées, honorèrent des commandes dans le domaine de l’architecture publique monumentale, de l’architecture religieuse et hospitalière, mais aussi dans celui de l’architecture domestique et de l’art des jardins.

L’historiographie fait la part belle aux architectes dans les embellissements de la capitale, mais l’action des ingénieurs en matière d’architecture et d’urbanisme reste à évaluer. Cette seconde journée sera l’occasion de présenter les limites de cette opposition architecte/ingénieur et d’initier un travail systématique sur l’activité de ces derniers du règne de Louis XIV à l’aube du Second Empire.

Après une première rencontre dédiée à l’habitat (8 novembre 2014), la seconde journée sera consacrée plus particulièrement au projet urbain et à l’architecture publique monumentale, à Paris, en province et dans les capitales européennes. Une troisième rencontre se déroulera au printemps 2016.

Journée d’études organisée par Basile Baudez, Alexia Lebeurre et Dominique Massounie avec le concours des Universités Bordeaux-Montaigne, Paris-Ouest-Nanterre, Paris-Sorbonne, de la Ville de Versailles et du GHAMU.

Du ‘portrait du roi’ aux portraits du Régent: Philippe II d’Orléans, entre pouvoir et légitimité
Université Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne, 23 September 2015

À l’occasion du tricentenaire de l’avènement de la Régence en septembre 2015, cette journée d’étude est consacrée à la figure de Philippe II d’Orléans (1674–1723). Elle interroge l’image du Régent comme objet de tensions entre représentation politique du pouvoir et quête de légitimité dynastique.

La ‘régence absolue’ fait le lien entre le long règne de Louis XIV et celui, encore naissant, de Louis XV. Existe-t-il un portrait politique du Régent qui s’appuie sur l’iconographie du corps sacré du roi, que ce soit celle de son illustre aïeul comme de celle du jeune souverain mineur ? A contrario, quel rôle a pu jouer la question anthropologique dans la représentation de Philippe d’Orléans qui ne détient aucun pouvoir de droit divin ?

Les organisateurs souhaitent s’appuyer sur cette dualité pour développer une réflexion propre à l’histoire de l’art, dans le cadre spécifique de la représentation visuelle. La question des portraits du Régent sera abordée selon l’angle anthropologique, politique, de la diffusion et de la métaphore.
