Degeneration In The Great French Masters (1922) - Jean Carrere - Bog

Degeneration In The Great French Masters (1922) is a book written by Jean Carrere that explores the concept of degeneration in the works of some of the greatest French artists of the 19th century. The book is divided into chapters that focus on specific artists such as Gustave Flaubert, Charles Baudelaire, and Paul Verlaine, among others. Carrere examines how their works reflect the societal and cultural changes that were taking place during their time, and how these changes affected the artists' creative output. He argues that the concept of degeneration was a prevalent theme in their works, and that it reflects their anxieties about the changing world around them. Carrere's analysis is informed by the theories of the time on degeneration, which were concerned with the idea that modern society was causing physical and mental decline in individuals. The book provides a fascinating insight into the artistic and intellectual climate of 19th century France, and offers a unique perspective on the works of some of its most celebrated artists.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
