Abstract
Reviews:
NCFS, 2015: 'Avec cette édition, Claire Moran offre un fascinant panorama de l’effervescence créatrice dont le monde du théâtre fut l’objet en ouvrant ses lieux de création à des artistes du visuel. La richesse des articles aurait permis de faire une bibliographie utile qui aurait complété ce volume dont la lecture nous fait vivre l’ébullition intellectuelle provoquée par les nombreuses collaborations artistiques entre 1830 et 1910.'
This collection of essays explores the relationship between art, literature and the stage in France and Belgium from 1830-1910. It is the first book to bring together scholarship on this neglected area of study and provides a unique sample of current research within this rich interdisciplinary field.
The rise in popular theatre, the beginnings of a ‘society of spectacle’, the emergence of the print media, the development of stage direction and set design and the crisis in pictorial and literary representation created a dynamic cultural climate in nineteenth-century Brussels and Paris, wherein the interface between writing, painting and dramatic representation thrived. The chapters in this volume chart different facets of this phenomenon, from the art of performing assumed by writers and the collaborations between artists and theatre directors to the theatrical motifs which infiltrated visual art and the increasingly ‘dramatic’ relationship between painting and spectator at the end of the century.
The book is divided into three sections. The first section, entitled ‘Cultures of Performance’, includes studies on the role of theatre in nineteenth-century life and art; the second section, ‘Exchanges’, considers interactions and collaborations between artists and dramatists, while the third section ‘Aesthetics’ includes chapters on the formal relationship between theatre and modern visual art.
The book includes an introduction and chapter by the author.
