2010126249Bern Switzerland: Peter Lang 2010. Softbound. VG one corner looks like it may have hit the floor; may have marks from ex-art-library. Light blue / color pictorial wraps xiii 682pp 171 BW plates. Text is in French. This is Volume 3 in "The Workshop: Art History and Museum Studies" series. The national representations the artistic identities and the international cultural exchanges are at the heart of this book. On the occasion of each of the five universal exhibitions organized in Paris in the second half of the 19th century 1855 1867 1878 1889 and 1900 the author envisaged France and Switzerland in their respective position of nation inviting and nation invited. A minor state on the chessboard and cultural policy in Europe at that time Switzerland represents a case mark of allegiance to the regard of the scene and of parisian artistic institutions. The Swiss holdings highlight the issues which then concerned all the European countries: the enlistment of the arts in the service of national identities investment in culture of countries the competition of political models the power relationships between center and periphery the booming of private market for the art or even the affirmation of artistic modernity. Thanks to the broad perspective that it has adopted for its subject the author proposes an inspiring model for the study still in its infancy today of the national participations in international cultural events.
