Nowhere has this been so clearly articulated as in France after World War II. Indeed, the 1950s and 1960s in France were awash in a sociological fascination with the transformed rhythms and accoutrements of daily lived experience. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Art of the Everyday\u003c\/i\u003e features essays by prominent writers on the topic of the quotidian in philosophy, cinema, theater, photography, and other visual arts of postwar France. In particular, a number of younger artists practicing today--such as Joël Bartoloméo, Rebecca Bournigault, Claude Closky, Frédéric Coupet, Valerie Jouve, Philippe Mairesse, Jean-Luc Moulène, and Rainer Oldendorf--find inspiration in the stuff of everyday life, rejecting an outmoded reverence for \u003ci\u003ele grand goût\u003c\/i\u003e. For them, the sophisticated urbanity of the nineteenth-century \u003ci\u003eflâneur\u003c\/i\u003e has mutated into a city dweller well-acquainted with the often unpleasant requirements of city life.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA panorama of an important aspect of postwar French culture, \u003ci\u003eThe Art of the Everyday \u003c\/i\u003ebrings to light the work of a new generation of contemporary French artists viewed through the lens of daily experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 146\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.62 x 9.31 x 6.34 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 01, 1997\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47457499775229,"sku":"9780814731086","price":199.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/U3lZclhuNS9YSVBRd0M3MG4zeVdUQT09.webp?v=1777237935","url":"https:\/\/booktolia.com\/products\/the-art-of-the-everyday-the-quotidian-in-postwar-french-culture-hardcover","provider":"booktolia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
