	Hierarchy of genres - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A hierarchy of genres is any formalization which ranks different types of genres in an art-form in terms of their value.
		The most well known set of hierarchies are those held by academies in Europe between the 17th century and the modern era, and of these the hierarchy for the genres of painting held by the Académie française which held a central role in Academic art.
		Claude Lorrain practised a genre called the ideal landscape, where a composition would be loosely based on nature and dotted with classical ruins as a setting for a biblical or historical theme.

	Genres
		Genre is a French term derived from the Latin genus, generis, meaning "type," "sort," or "kind." It designates the literary form or type into which works are classified according to what they have in common, either in their formal structures or in their treatment of subject matter, or both.
		While the number of genres and their subdivisions has proliferated since classical times, the division of the literary domain into three major genres (by Plato, Aristotle, and, later, Horace), is still useful.
		There was also a tendency to rank the genres in a hierarchy, usually with epic or tragedy at the top, and shorter forms, such as the epigram and the subdivisions of the lyric, at the bottom.

		The elevation of Chardin to full membership of the Royal Academy of Paintings and Sculpture in 1728 coupled with his position as Treasurer, the officer responsible for the hanging of the pictures exhibited at the Salon, marks a turning point in the history of French painting.
		Hitherto, the 'hierarchy of genres' had been considered immutable and, indeed, the Academic authorities struggled to maintain the primacy of history painting throughout the remainder of the century.
		Nonetheless, it was Chardin's extraordinary faculty which accorded him the prominence he enjoyed during his lifetime and the fame that has largely eclipsed the talents of artists such as Desportes and Oudry, still life painters in the grand decorative tradition.

		The genres, or types of painting, were codified in the seventeenth century by the French Royal Academy.
		In descending order of importance the genres were History, Portrait, Genre, Landscape, and Still life.
		This league table, known as the hierarchy of the genres, was based on the notion of man the measure of all things - landscape and still life were the lowest because they did not involve human subject matter.

		However, all genres were represented in the Académie where it was also possible to have a brilliant career even as a still-life painter, Chardin being a prime example of this.
		The genre question was of utmost importance for those painters who were difficult to classify.
		Watteau, inventor of a new genre was thus admitted as painter of "fêtes galantes".

		One of the most enduring characteristics of Post-Medieval art was the rigid hierarchy of genres.
		One of the 'missions' of modernism we are often told, was to subvert this hierarchy.
		We may feel free from this hierarchy, since the 1960s 'anything goes' has been a favourite cliché connected to contemporary art, but many artists, often those considered very avant-garde and controversial, return to the traditional genres.

		Even though painters constantly went beyond the limits of their assigned speciality, the hierarchy of genres remained an essential criterion in eighteenth-century painting.
		Jean-Antoine Watteau was the only one to invent a short-lived genre known as the fête galante.
		The genres were graded in order of importance, starting at the top: history painting, the portrait, genre painting, still-life and landscape.

		By the late 1770s, Vigee Le Brun's goal was to be admitted to the Academie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture, not as a portraitist, but as a painter of history, then ranked uppermost in the hierarchy of genres.
		There were already women Academicians, but their numbers were limited, and they were almost all practitioners of the so-called inferior genres of portraiture and still-life.
		The Director of the Academie, Jean Baptiste Marie Pierre, stubbornly opposed Mme Le Brun's candidacy on the grounds that her husband was a picture dealer and that the bylaws of the Acad6mie forbade its members any contact with the art trade.

	Classical Net Review - Rózsa - Orchestral Music
		He had the misfortune to compose non-serial, non-minimalist film scores, for the most part, and to be a compatriot of Bartók.
		In the late nineteenth century, for example, opera and the tone poem were accorded a higher place than the "abstract" forms of symphony and sonata.
		I suspect that Rózsa enjoyed writing for this film genre the most - fewer compromises of his normal mode of expression and less a matter of "thinking oneself back" or of adhering to someone else's dramatic agenda.

	Love is not Love
		Although modern scholars reading through the hundreds of amorous sonnets of the 1590’s might be predisposed to believe, as some have claimed, that the form exhausted itself,2 it should be obvious that this explanation is bizarre, especially given the durability of other much-used literary types like the epigram and song.
		Largely because of his prestige as a martyred culture-hero, Sidney raised the status of sonnets in the hierarchy of genres within the literary system of his time and virtually authorized poets of different social classes to undertake the composition of amorous sequences.
		In the case of English sonnet sequences, it is not sufficient to consider their formal properties or their places either in the canon of particular authors or in the literary history of sonnet collections from Dante and Petrarch through the High Renaissance.

	Landscape (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		In the hierarchy of genres, landscape was the lowest category.
		Though few painters adopted it professionally, many, even the greatest, like Largillière, Oudry, Boucher, Fragonard or David, tried their hand at it in private, in sketches or drawings.
		Landscape according to the strictest definition of the term was the speciality of Allegrain, Houel, Lacroix de Marseille, Moreau the Elder, Vernet and Valenciennes and should be associated with the architectural views executed by De Machy, Lallemand and Hubert Robert.

	COLT 350
		Beginning with a review of the canonical, officially-sanctioned views of theater that were propounded and disseminated by the powerful elites of the French and Spanish Academies, we will consider how writers such as Spanish Lope de Vega and the French comedic genius Molière redefined the genre, changing its rules, and broadening its claims to legitimacy.
		Generally, before Lope and Molière, comedy was understood as a poor relation, a dramatic form based on the classical plays of Terence and Plautus, and dictated by the rules set out in Aristotle’s Poetics, but always subordinate to tragedy in a strictly-conceived hierarchy of genres (the seventeenth-century was all about hierarchies, after all).
		Driven partly by pragmatism–the public pays, Lope observed, so you give them what they want–and partly by their understanding of the tremendous literary potential of the comedic, and the tragic-comedic, plot, each of these writers struck powerful chords in the viewing public, thus widening the literary and cultural space for the appreciation of comedy.

	JAIC 1994, Volume 33, Number 2, Article 5 (pp. 131 to 140)
		Why was so much of the early history of conservation entirely focused on the treatment of paintings?
		From Leon Baptista Alberti in the 15th century through Sir Joshua Reynolds in the 18th century, painting was considered “the queen of the arts.” Reynolds discussed a hierarchy of genres within painting that persisted at least through the first half of the 19th century.
		However, members of the other specialty groups may be pleased to note that as new art history methods are revising many of the hierarchies of the canons of art history—including the amateur status of women artists—the supremacy of paintings conservation is also under measurable revision.
