    About this ebook

    Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

    #1 I had little exposure to visual art as a child. I do remember, though, the day that my lack of knowledge of Claude Monet moved from a bedroom wall to the greater world. We had visited a Monet exhibition at the de Young Museum in San Francisco, and my father and I had laughed at his paintings.

    #2 I grew up thinking that Monet was a dull painter, and that he was just decorating items that would make great gifts for my mother. But I was wrong: the Impressionists were actually subversive badasses who transformed visual art forever.

    #3 The nineteenth century was a tumultuous time in visual culture, and art was no exception. The first half of the century was dominated by Romanticism, which was all swoony and obsessed with portraying the extremes of human emotion and natural grandeur. The second half of the century was dominated by Realism, which depicted the real world.

    #4 The Academy in Moscow was the center of Academic art, which was based on the intense study of Classical Greco-Roman sculpture and inspired by the idealization of the human form. Artists were encouraged to think grandly in their subject matter.

      The Panopticon: John Updike’s Apartment Stories

      Mar 9, 2018

      Has there, in American letters, at least, ever been a better noticer than John Updike?  By “noticer,” I don’t mean “writer of detail,” exactly.  There are many writers whose use of detail I find more narratively effective:  Saul Bellow, Joan Didion,

We had visited a Monet exhibition at the de Young Museum in San Francisco, and my father and I had laughed at his paintings.

      #2

      I grew up thinking that Monet was a dull painter, and that he was just decorating items that would make great gifts for my mother. But I was wrong: the Impressionists were actually subversive badasses who transformed visual art forever.

      #3

      The nineteenth century was a tumultuous time in visual culture, and art was no exception. The first half of the century was dominated by Romanticism, which was all swoony and obsessed with portraying the extremes of human emotion and natural grandeur. The second half of the century was dominated by Realism, which depicted the real world.

      #4

      The Academy in Moscow was the center of Academic art, which was based on the intense study of Classical Greco-Roman sculpture and inspired by the idealization of the human form. Artists were encouraged to think grandly in their subject matter.

      #5

      Monet was a painter who was born in France in 1840. He spent most of his childhood in the Normandy port town of Le Havre, and he wanted to be a great artist. He moved to Paris and studied at the Académie Suisse, which was more advanced and cool than the Académie des Beaux-Arts.

      #6

      Modern Paris was a paradise for artists, and the students at the Academy were among the most talented. They would go on painting trips together, and often paint side by side in a quiet country lane or a breezy seaside village.

      #7

      The artists of the Impressionist movement were committed to beauty, and they were not afraid to show it. They painted the modern world and brought a fresh and new approach to art. But they struggled to get into the Salon, where official exhibitions were held.

      #8

      Monet was a failure at the Salon, and he was constantly being rejected. He was extremely heartbroken, and he often tried to commit suicide. By the early 1870s, he and his friends were at their wit’s end, frustrated by having to play the Salon game and submit themselves to criticism time and time again with little or no return.

      #9

      In 1873,
