Translated From the French by Peter Willis.
Since the triumphant acceptance of Impressionism and its successors in the early twentieth century, many of the finest paintings in the narrative style beloved of the Victorians and Edwardians have languished in the store-rooms of the world's museums. Dismissed as "official" or "academic" art, as art pompier and even, most woundingly of all, as "Kitsch", a whole current in the history of art, with an evolution of its own, a homogeneous style, and a record of serious imaginative achievement, has waited half a century for a reassessment. This is now beginning, and added impetus is provided in this book by the Yugoslav critic and art historian Aleksa Celebonovic. He studies the paintings in terms of their most remarkable common factor: their uncanny reflection of the behaviour, attitudes, thoughts and fantasies of the class for which they existed. He has consequently given this body of art, for the first time, a description which is not a disparagement: Bourgeois Realism. He reproduces, and examines critically, works painted between about 1860 and the First World War by artists from eleven countries. Among them are a few remembered, if shadowy, figures such as Leighton, Boldini, Tissot, Alma-Tadema, Bouguereau, Werner and Millais, and many talented men and women whose names have long been almost forgotten.
