Pascal-Adolphe-Jean Dagnan-Bouveret (1852-1929) was among a group
of the most creative students of Jean Leon Gerome, the leading
French academic painter of his day. A well-established naturalist
painter and an artist acknowledged worldwide during the latter half
of the nineteenth-century, Dagnan-Bouveret used contemporary themes
and techniques to modernize the academic tradition in an attempt to
meet the aesthetic changes initiated by the Impressionists.
Displaying real diversity, he created photographically accurate
compositions inspired by daily life. His best-known pieces within
this genre were mesmerizing mystical-religious compositions.
Accolades at the 1900 Paris Exposition Universelle and induction
into the French Institute not only assured the status of his work,
they also furthered his position as the upholder of the academic
tradition at a time when it was coming under renewed attack by the
modernists. The Dahesh Museum in New York will offer the first
monographic exhibition of Dagnan-Bouveret's work from September
through December 2002. This lavishly illustrated catalog, with both
color and black-and-white illustrations, will accompany the
exhibit. Against the Modern pays special attention to the evolution
of this artist's work, and brings to the public gaze the real
diversity, accessibility-and surprising modernity-that has made
Dagnan-Bouveret's work of lasting value.
