	ARC ARTicles - Biography of William Bouguereau - Damien Bartoli, edited by Fred Ross - Page 1/4
		Bouguereau’s re-appreciation can rather accurately be traced from about 1979 when his prices at auction quadrupled that year alone, and then was further catapulted by the 1984 retrospective that traveled from the Petite Palais in Paris, to the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts in Canada and finally to the Wadsworth Athenaeum in Hartford.
		Bouguereau achieves emotional power in his work second to none, and for the themes he loved, beyond any other in art history.
		Bouguereau and his colleagues of the Salon and the Institute of France were rapidly labeled as reactionaries in the face of this growing cult of the new, found first in Impressionism and Post Impressionism, but soon to take a far darker and destructive turn.

		Bouguereau subsequently exhibited Love Wounded (1859), The Day of the Dead (at Bordeaux), The First Discord (1861, in the Club at Limoges), The Return from the Fields (a picture in which Thophile Gau tier recognized a pure feeling for the antique), A Fawn.
		Bouguereaus pictures, highly appreciated by the general public, have been severely criticized by the partisans of a freer and fresher style of art, who have reproached him with being too content to revive the formulas and subjects of the antique.
		At the Paris Exhibition of 1867 Bouguereau took a third-class medal, in 1878 a medal of honor, and the same again in the Salon of 1885.

		Bouguereau would draw [these faces] quickly, in a four-hour session; he would then keep them by his side while working on the figures to which they belonged in the painting they were part of, and for which he had composed a well-balanced sketch beforehand.
		For Bouguereau the drawing of the cartoon was an integral step in the evolution of a composition in which he made critical adjustments in gesture and contour.

	William Bouguereau - Wikipédia
		William Bouguereau (30 novembre, 1825 - 19 août, 1905), né et mort à La Rochelle était un peintre français de style académique.
		Bouguereau a également utilisé son influence pour permettre l'accès des femmes à beaucoup d'institutions artistiques en France, y compris l'Académie Française.
		Après 1920, Bouguereau a souffert d'une énorme perte d'estime, que d'aucuns estiment due à une campagne de diffamation orchestrée par le nouvel "establishment" de critiques d'art, qui ne lui pardonnaient pas sa farouche résistance aux impressionnistes.

		Bouguereau's vast repertory of playful and poetic images cannot help but appeal to those who are fascinated with nature's appearances and with the celebration of human sentiment frankly and unabashedly expressed.
		Bouguereau's alchemical transformations, in which objects, costumes, and the like are removed from the realm of the familiar and transplanted in a distant, archetypal and poetic world, continued a practice with a long academic tradition perhaps most famously articulated by Poussin.
		Bouguereau's collection of photographs was extensive and included prints by many of the best known photographers of his time as well as by lesser-knowns.

		Bouguereau continued to exhibit paintings (some of which had been painted in Rome) at the Salon, where they were received by the public with great favor.

	MyStudios- Bouguereau Shepherdess
		Bouguereau's shepherdesses and mothers are almost always barefoot; Millet's wear sabots, the wooden shoes of the peasants.
		The bare feet of Bouguereau's figures underscore the fact that they are not real peasants, as Millet's were seen to be, so the urban viewer need in no way feel responsible for the peasants' hard lives.
		Bouguereau would have denied such an interpretation, insisting that he painted the human figure because it was the most beautiful subject to paint.

	William A. Bouguereau (1825 - 1905) - Rehs Galleries, Inc.
		Early in his career, William Bouguereau was a young artist dealing with the uncertainty of the quality of his work within the critical Parisian art scene, anxious over the issues of training and his professional ability.
		Bouguereau was born in La Rochelle on November 30, 1825, the second of four children.
		During this period Bouguereau continued as a very active teacher at the Académie Julian where he was especially sought after by young women who valued his teaching experience and his ability to work with them in establishing professional artistic careers.

	Bouguereau-A Girl in Peasant Costume
		His delicate use of line and subtle shading around the subject’s face as well as his attention to the various folds of drapery are in sharp contrast to the sketchiness with which he renders the wall on which she sits—it is clear where his priorities lie.
		For Bouguereau, these drawings and paintings were about the idealization of forms—he would draw from life but remove all the imperfections.
		In the leap from drawing study to painting, Bouguereau made a number of changes; the young woman is now in a landscape instead of sitting on a nondescript wall, but the most apparent change is in the expression and age of the model.

		Bouguereau was an academic painter, a technically superb follower of 19th century schmaltz.
		I was very disappointed in your statement regarding William Bouguereau's art that his depiction of men was stereotypical, dark, either Arab or Jewish features, their hairy bestiality suggesting an un-evolved and brutish state.
		Bouguereau's paintings are like perfect answers to boring old questions that have already been answered.

		This is probably due less to the rather decorous naughtiness of the subject matter and the glossy finish of the painting than to the sense of gaiety and arcadian delight which the nymphs have evoked in many of their admirers.

		Biography The career of William Bouguereau, unlike that of his contemporaries, the then avant-garde Impressionists, was one of ever-increasing success without significant setback.
		Outside of a few very rare commissions in his youth, Bouguereau always refused to be dictated to regarding his subject matter and one can truly say that he only painted what pleased him, including the numerous portraits, which represent another interesting aspect of his oeuvre.
		Certainly, Bouguereau truly loved women, but then again, that calumny doesn’t stand up to examination and the nude represents less than 10% of his oeuvre.

		Bouguereau entered the Йcole des Beaux-Arts in 1846 and was awarded the Prix de Rome in 1850.
		Upon his return to France from four years' study in Italy, he attracted a wide following with his mythological and allegorical paintings, although his portrait paintings are perhaps held in higher esteem today.
		Modern critics tend to assess Bouguereau as a painter who sacrificed boldness of technique and originality of outlook for a highly polished but conventional treatment of the human form.

		Religious imagery was a constant theme in Bouguereau's oeuvre.
