Gauguin and Rimbaud scorned him, his academic contemporaries discussed him, and Nietzsche admired him. Although philosophers, historians and literary experts are showing renewed interest in Hippolyte Taine (1828-1893), art historians devote little time to the writings they hastily judge determinist. The presentations in this book prompt us to explore the contradictions – real or apparent – in thoughts on art and its history in the 19th century, and the challenges facing art history today.
Texts by Hippolyte Taine published for the first time in French.
