Topic: Academicism


  
  Academic art - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Academic art is a style of painting and sculpture produced under the influence of European academies or universities.
In this context it is often called "academism", "academicism", "art pompier", and "eclecticism", and sometimes linked with "historicism" and "syncretism".
The art influenced by academies and universities in general is also called "academic art".

 [No title]
Ross is an unabashed promoter of nineteenth century Academicism, and a worshiper of William Bouguereau, perhaps the preeminent French Academic painter of the nineteenth century.
But his Hitlerian assertions that all that came thereafter was "degenerate" smacks of the same cultural prejudice that he accuses his Modern Art villains of perpetrating against Bouguereau, Meissonier, Gerome, Lord Leighton and the other nineteenth century academic icons whom he so adores.
The key element in art history which Ross fails to see, or refuses to acknowledge, is that Modern Art was an inevitable, logical progression from tired Academicism, which had to run its course and culminated in the technical perfection of Bouguereau.

Totally at a loss when confronted by so many transient and contradictory models, students tend toward the least constraining, the most rapid.
If it were permissible to be radical, it could be stated that the abandonment of Academicism [perspective, anatomy, etc.] results in the abandonment of the teaching of fine arts.
Academicism, thanks to its strict rules, was necessarily pedagogical, and therefore transmissible.

Descended from a noble family, Déodat de Séverac studied first in Toulouse, later moving to Paris to study under Vincent d'Indy at the Schola Cantorum, a rival to the academicism of the Conservatoire.

Piano music by Séverac is often pictorial, as in his Chant de la terre (Song of the Earth), described as a Georgic, with his depiction of a rustic idyll, or the festive pieces in En Languedoc.

 Poetry Snark
She is certainly a part of the new academicism -- she's the darling of the smart establishment.
The old academicism was about old white guys defending the values of New Criticism and old formalism.
They don’t do drugs or break laws, but they think of themselves as outside the mainstream: smart rebels whose idea of resistance to middle class values is reading Deleuze and turning over in their minds the idea that they are “nomads.” We’re talking poets like Donald Revell, Cole Swenson, Mary Jo Bang, and Susan Howe.

His tendency to emphasize the structure of a work had great importance during the 1930s and 1940s as a forerunner of the revival of Paraguayan art, which until then had been dominated by a 19th-century type of naturalism.
The paintings of Bestard and those of Wolf Bandurek prepared the ground for the break with academicism that took place in the 1950s.
While Bandurek drew attention to the expressive content of paintings, Bestard’s contribution was to formal values.

Their playing is up to the very high standards of the series thus far, and features impeccable phrasing, optimal balances, and a truly enlivening sense of rhythm.
This last quality not only gives the finales a welcome jolt of energy and minimizes any suspicion of academicism in the often busy contrapuntal writing, but it also carries the listener through both of the long opening movements, in which the "moderato" stipulation might otherwise offer a temptation to allow the music to bog down.
In truth, these works are excellently proportioned: Cherubini compensates for the broad beginnings by writing relatively brief, aria-like slow movements and highly developed scherzos and finales.

To his Professor MIREA’s dismay, he used to defy the classical «academical»; group that were dominating at that time.
