 Photography as Art
In 1862 French artists proclaimed that photography, ""never result[ed] in works which could…ever be compared with those works which are the fruits of intelligence and the study of art.’" (London/Upton, Photography, 360) A German newspaper proclaimed it ""blasphemy.’" (Davis, Fine Art, 10) People did not generally dislike photography but its early artistic aspirations were discouraged.
Alfred Stieglitz said, "It is not art in the professionalized sense about which I care, but that which is created sacredly, as a result of a deep inner experience, with all of oneself, and that becomes 'art' in time." (photoquotes.com) Photography is an extremely evocative medium.
Their art was important in promoting themes and stories for the Church and in immortalizing prominent figures of the day such as the Medici's.

 ArtLex's E-Em page
In the arts, although effort — the exertion of energy — is essential, it is less tangible than the end result.
When effort is particularly apparent, art critics and historians dwell on those exertions, and might speculate on them when they are not apparent.
Although conceptual art might seem to be an exception to this rule, ultimately the quality of what any artist has done relies on that which can be seen in the work itself — its making, its production, its success.

 ART / 4 / 2DAY
For someone that held so much influence and power over artists and the art scene in Paris, these overt displays of affection (whether from the artist or the patrons commissioning it) were as much about fear as it was about friendship.
Philippe Burty, a close friend of the artist, was one of the more progressive art critics of his era; he was a particularly strong early supporter of the Impressionists.
His many articles in the Gazette des Beaux-Arts (for which he was an art critic from 1859), La République Française, and other journals directed attention to innovations and new developments in the fine and decorative arts.

A leading exponent of Art Nouveau, Klimt is considered one of the greatest decorative painters of the 20th century.
His depictions of the femme fatale and his drawings treating the theme of female sexuality have assured him a place in the history of erotic art.
He is remembered for his role in the formation of the Vienna Secession, the radical group of Austrian artists of which he became the first president in 1897 (see SECESSION, §3), and also for the frequent scandals and protests that marked his later career.

 Emile Auguste Carolus-Duran - AMAM
Philippe Burty (1830-1890) was one of the more progressive art critics and writers of his generation.
Burty coined the term "japonisme" and wrote several articles on the contemporary taste for Japanese art and culture in France.
The influence of court portraits by Velásquez, Goya, or Titian, for example, is evident in the elegant compositions and stately poses of Carolus-Duran's society portraits.

In 1862 he studied art in Paris, where he met Alfred Sisley, Frederic Bazille and Claude Monet.
His initial paintings were influenced by the artistry of Eugene Delacroix and his close friend Monet who helped Renoir found the Impressionism movement.
Although Renoir had his first exhibit of paintings in 1864 he did not gain any real recognition for another ten years due to the turmoil in Paris as a result of the Franco-Prussian War.

 1862 Antique Pyrograph (Pokerwork) by Ball Hughes
Ball Hughes was without controversy a genius, as is evidenced by his well-known group of the Widow Wadman and Uncle Toby, and the fine statue of Bowditch, both I think in the Art Museum.
He was cut down in the prime of life, yet not by the hand of death.
It was like "a giant cracking nuts." We have never had in Boston natural powers for art superior to his.

 Conference Center
Characteristically, the figures in Klimt's paintings are treated more or less naturalistically, but embellished - in the background or their clothing for example - with richly decorative patterns, creating a highly distinctive style of extraordinarily lush sensuality.
I'm going to start with some earlier works, and hopefully, as this topic grows longer, we will be able to compare his paintings, appreciate their versatility, but also his progress as an artist.
Though Klimt was highly successful early in his career as a painter of sumptuous decorative schemes, he was drawn to avant-garde art, and this wall painting clearly shows the influence that Impressionism, Symbolism and Art Nouveau had on him.

 Paul Cezanne - Biography and Art Prints.
In 1862 the artist traveled to Paris, enrolling in the Atelier Suisse where he painted alongside Pissaro, Renoir, Sisley and Degas.
He believed art should be "a harmony which runs parallel with nature." Cezanne sought to reduce nature to three shapes: the cylinder, cone and sphere, rendering these shapes in skillfully modeled patches of color.
An extensive retrospective of the artist's work was exhibited in 1996 at the Grand Palais, Paris, the Tate Gallery, London, and Philadelphia Museum of Art.

 Powell's Books - Body: Exploring the Human Body in Western Art from 1862 to the Present by Edmund Capon
This lavishly illustrated book concerns the body in western art from the nineteenth century to the present day, and features essays by contemporary art critics on questions related to this topic.
As a provocative primer on developments in the various traditions and anti-traditions of figurative art, the book has a wealth of examples — from Courbet's naturalism to Gober's installations of disembodied legs.
From the ghost-like figures in the paintings of Francis Bacon to today's performance art, this study traces links in a legacy which seems to be striving to eliminate all separation between renditions of the body and an artist's own corporeality.

 THE PHILLIPS COLLECTION | Luncheon of the Boating Party
In 1860-61, Renoir began his formal art training, studying in the studio of Charles Gleyre and entering the Ecole des Beaux-Arts (School of Fine Arts) in 1862.
Many art historians believe that Luncheon of the Boating Party, begun in the summer of 1880, may have been Renoir's response to a challenge from the famous writer and critic Emile Zola (1840-1902) in a June review of the official Salon exhibition of that year.
Renoir's reverence for the history of art, particularly the paintings in the Louvre, provided a source of inspiration throughout his career.
