The Guggenheim/Royal Academy collaboration '1900: Art at the Crossroads' focused problematically on this moment

The Guggenheim/Royal Academy collaboration '1900: Art at the Crossroads' focused problematically on this moment. The show's method was to enact a revised version of the 'Décannale' exhibition at Paris's 'Exposition Universelle' of 1900. In light of the Millennium Dome, the Tate Modern, the London Eye and other recently opened cultural landmarks, it's fascinating to consider the structures put up to mark the dawn of the last century: leaving aside Bankside, perhaps, one has to conclude that the Belle Epoque did it a whole lot better. What would New Labour give for the 50 million visitors to the 'Exposition Universelle' in 1900?

Magazine article Artforum International. 1900: Art at the Crossroads. At the dawn of the new millennium, Robert Rosenblum, the art historian, critic, and Guggenheim curator, characteristically looks forward by looking backward. 1900: Art at the Crossroads," an exhibition of 250 paintings and sculptures (curated by Rosenblum with Mary Anne Stevens, Norman Rosenthal, Ann Dumas, and Vivien Greene) opening at London's Royal Academy of Arts in mid-January, takes a fresh look at the art that was produced in the years immediately before and after the 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris, the largest the.

Robert Rosenblum is a true scholar in the world of art history. Throughout my undergraduate years, I had looked to his writings for guidance and to gain an understanding of the subject matter. Overall, it is a fine book. Superb Book! By Thriftbooks. com User, May 13, 2000

The 1900: Art at the Crossroads Exhibition In 2000 Rosenblum curated the exhibition, 1900: Art at the Crossroads.

The 1900: Art at the Crossroads Exhibition In 2000 Rosenblum curated the exhibition, 1900: Art at the Crossroads. This show contained nearly 150 paintings from Japan, Africa, Australia, Western Europe and the Americas, and included works by the Modern "masters" Cézanne, Picasso and Kandinsky. Never had such a seemingly random hodgepodge of turn-of-the-century styles been displayed side by side.

To begin with, the extensive biographical sketches comprise a book in themselves, invaluable to the general reader to whom many of the names will be unfamiliar and useful, as well to the less than expert art history student.
Robert Rosenblum's extensive introduction is up to his usual high standards and provides some feel for the conflicting approaches to art, as traditional approaches vie with a variety of of competitors, at a point in history in which, what many consider to be Modern Art, is being pointed toward, but has not yet been given form (as viewed by the official Museum of Modern Art-NYC conceptualization published in various documents on their re-evaluation before entering their greatly enlarged quarters, something over a decade ago). What gives his essay and the organization of artists in the book its special value is the balanced treatment of the many competing art forms represented in this World's Fair (Exposition) in which the work of many nation's appeared (although French art did predominate by a large margin). Apparently all paintings and sculpture has been included in the book, allowing one to make, at least, minimal judgments as to whether the New Century did see better rather than just different art. To be clear, on the point, however, none of that New Art was represented, only some of the artists who later developed such approaches. Thus we find examples of Mondrian, Matisse and the brilliant young Picasso, among others, still working very much in the style of the 19th Century. Ensor, Munch, Vuillard, Bonnard, Klimt, are among those who have already matured the style in which they will work for decades to come, while mature Impressionists and Academics display talents that may be relatively less valued in the 20th Century, but easily support the argument (if one wanted to make one) that they have enduring value despite changing fashions.
There are many pictures, all in color, but not the same size. The full page ones look quite good, and there are many, many of them. The numerous half page ones do not match them in quality, a fair number being only adequate to giving one a general impression of the work. On the criteria for size, I can recall no discussion.
As one reviewer quite rightly pointed out, at the price for which good copies are available, it is a book no general reader interested in the art of the recent past should be without. Serious art history majors in colleges will also find it an admirable resource for finding talented artists to write upon whom other students are ignoring.

1900: Art At The Crossroads is certainly a book worthy of any art lover's library. The book itself is substantial: the hundreds of paintings and hundreds of historical photographs are printed on stock the quality of which can be felt immediately. Many of the paintings are reproduced at an adequate size with some filling the page and beyond. The color and sharpness is excellent.

The turn of the century was a very dynamic time in the art world with much work worldwide being produced in a wide variety of styles and mediums. This book captures the essence of the period while giving the reader just enough historical information centered around the World's Fair in Paris. Keep in mind that many of these reproductions are not necessarily the actual paintings exhibited at the Fair but a painting or sculpture of similar subject, style and medium.

Considering the high quality construction of this book it is astounding that it can still be found for such a low, affordable price. I got my copy for under $20 and it shares a shelf with my top favorite art books.

Haven't had a chance to read it carefully, but at first glance it
is one of the most beautiful and most comprehensive art books
that I own. I can hardly wait to dive in at greater depth.

A great historial scope on a key period of art. In works like this, we manage to understand the aesthetic liaisons between countries and artists that created Modernism as a whole

Aria

Robert Rosenblum's "1900: Art At The Crossroads" is a gem of a book. This exhibition catalogue contains more than 300 color plates and approximately 200 additional illustrations of paintings and sculpture from a benchmark period in art history. The year nineteen hundred, the beginning of the 20th century, ushered in a period when art was truly at a crossroads. It was, at once, the beginning and the end of an era - the culmination of 19th century art and the beginning of a revolution. Salon artists, the academic realists, Rouault, Sargent, Whistler, and Homer, etc., were at their peak and their work was widely acclaimed. And painters, newly arrived on the scene, from Impressionists, Post-Impressionists to those who had yet to find a label for their work, like Cezanne, Matisse, Mondrian, Picasso, Kandinsky, Klimt and Gaugin, were beginning to discover new methods, new ideas, to express what they saw and felt. They learned from tradition and sought to escape it. These artists would go on to change the way the Western world looked at art

This compilation, the companion volume to a major international exhibit, provides an extraordinary visual history of that period. The quality of the reproductions, especially the color plates, is superb. Work by lesser known artists are displayed here, as well as paintings and sculptures by those whose names we recognize immediately. The book is organized into categories according to subject, i.e., bathers, nudes, self-portraits, still life and landscapes. This method of organization, similar to the concepts established by the French Academy in the 17th century, makes for some fascinating comparisons, i.e., an abstracted Degas nude alongside a classical nude by Carolus-Duran. Robert Rosenblum and Mary Anne Stevens purposely included a wide range of work completed at approximately the same time to reflect change - the wide variety of styles and techniques employed at this period by different artists.

This is a beautiful book and a brilliant study of a pivotal point in European art history. There is a 70 page section of artists' biographies at the catalogue's conclusion.
