This volume is the first to explore fashion as a critical aspect of modernity, one that paralleled and many times converged with the development of Impressionism, starting in the 1860s and continuing through the next two decades, when fashion attracted the foremost writers and artists of the day. Although they have depicted fashionable subjects throughout history, for many artists and writers, including Charles Baudelaire, Stéphane Mallarmé, Émile Zola, Gustave Caillebotte, Edgar Degas, Édouard Manet, Claude Monet, Berthe Morisot, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir, fashion became integral to the search for new literary and visual expression. In a series of essays that examine fashion and its social, cultural, and artistic context during some of the most important years of the Impressionist era—years that also gave birth to the modern fashion industry—a group of fifteen scholars, drawn from five interdisciplinary fields, examine approximately 140 Impressionist-era artworks, including those by dedicated fashion portraitists, in light of the rise of the department store, new working methods for designing clothing, and new social and technological changes that led to the democratization of fashion and, simultaneously, its ascendance as a vehicle for modernity.

{PRETITLE} Impressionism, Fashion, and Modernity {POSTTITLE}
This is the catalogue that accompanies the exhibition of the same name at the Musee d'Orsay in Paris until January 2013 and which will then be at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art (February to May) and finally at the Art Institute of Chicago (June to September), its primary organizer. While acknowledging the work of previous scholars who have examined the place of clothing in nineteenth-century culture, the museum directors tell us that this is the first major exhibition to focus on the role of fashion in the paintings of the Impressionists and their contemporaries. The catalogue is a big book (336 large pages) with reproductions of eighty major figure paintings and some sixty additional canvases, pictures of fashion plates, photographs of period costumes and accessories and of shops and the new department stores, caricatures and popular prints, etc., etc.,--the jacket text says there are 478 color illustrations. Recognized experts from the fields of art history, photography, fashion studies, and literature present thirteen essays on topics ranging from "Fashion en Plain Air" and "Fashion and Intimate Portraits" to "Shops versus Department Stores" and "Fashion and the Press"--i.e., some of the essays are quite directly related to painting while others deal with more tangential aspects of the fashion industry.
This beautiful book which explores the influence of fashion in impressionist painting is a catalogue of an exhibit which I just saw and loved at the Metropolitan Museum. The book contains beautiful reproductions of over eighty major paintings from the early 1860s to late 1880s as well as several prints and fashion plates, and representive examples of women's and men's clothing and accessories. Complementing the works are a series of interdisciplinary essays written by art, fashion, photography, literary, and architectural historians. They discuss a wide range of topics including the importance of fashion trends in portrait and plein air paintings, the fashion making process, the Parisian cityscape and lifestyle, the changing retail environment, fashion and the press, and the rise in popularity in fashion photography. There is even a chapter devoted to male subject matter which is often neglected in most impressionist art literature. Scattered throughout are complete commentaries on some of the most important paintings in the exhibition including Claude Monet's "Camille" and "Women in the Garden", Edouard Manet's "La Parisienne" and "Nana", Edgar Degas's " The Millinery Shop", Gustave Caillebotte's "Paris Street;Rainy Day ", James Tissot's "The Circle of the Rue Royale", and Auguste Renoir's "Madame Georges Charpentier and Her Children." The catalogue also highlights masterworks by Mary Cassatt("In the Loge"), James McNeill Whistler("Portrait of Theodore Duret"), Berthe Morisot("The Sisters"), Frederic Bazille ("Family Reunion"), Georges Seurat(" A Sunday on the Grande Jatte"), Albert Bartholome("In the Conservatory"),and Charles Carolus-Duran("The Lady With the Glove").
