NOTE: The beautiful plates of the famous Drawing Course Cours de dessin by Bargue and Gérome were made for beginning students of drawing schools and art academies to copy. In this way they could become familiar with the principles of contour light and shade and at the same time develop an appreciation for 'good taste' by looking at examples of great art. The drawings of the first part of the course were made after plaster casts of famous classical and renaissance statues. The series starts with simple forms of isolated body-parts and then offers images of gradually increasing complexity. To help the student to manage the essential forms of a head or torso many plates are divided into two parts. A schematic outline with straight lines and angles stands beside the finished drawing. § The plates of the drawing course are now hard to find. Of the original publication of 197 loose-leaf lithography plates divided into three parts there are only a few complete sets known. Our collection is a part of the first volume: 'Modèles d'après la bosse' Models after casts which consisted of 70 plates. It was published in 1868. The second series completed in 1870 was: 'Modèles d'après les Maîtres de toutes les époques et de toutes les écoles' Models after masters of all periods and all schools. The third series completed in 1873 was: 'Exercices au fusain pour préparer à l'étude de l'académie d'après nature' Charcoal exercises in preparation for drawing the academic nude. The first two sections were meant for schools for design and decorative arts. The third section with live models was used only in art academies. There were no instructions published with the plates that was left to the teachers in the schools. It was common practice in the schools to start with copying prints and drawing from plaster casts of classical statues. As a second stage students copied old masters. In the art academies they then went on to live models. This training was part of the tradition of 19th century neoclassicsm. The imitation of nature was the only goal for artists. Objects and human bodies should be drawn and painted meticulously. Works of art were both realistic and idealistic following the concept of 'good taste'. In France this resulted in smooth and finished works influenced by the standards of the French 'Académie des Beaux-Arts'. This so-called 'Academic Art' came under criticism at the end of the 19th century when the concept of art changed radically. The Drawing Course is the last great document of the 19th century tradition of art education. It was widely used in France and England. § Vincent van Gogh writes about it in his letters he has worked through the whole course at least once. Van Gogh worked very hard on this course because he hoped to gain some income with the sale of his drawings. In a sketchbook owned by the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam there are several pencil drawings made after Bargue's plates. Nowadays the didactic and artistic quality of the course is greatly admired by both amateur and professional artists. § The firm Goupil & Cie was an important publisher of original prints and art reproductions in Paris. They hired skilled engravers and lithographers and used the latest techniques. The firm also developed into a renowned art dealer. The 'Cours de dessin' sold very well for Goupil and loose plates were still sold until the firm was dissolved around 1920. Charles Bargue 1826-1883 was a French draughtsman lithographer and painter who has left a small number of paintings. Jean-Léon Gérome 1824-1904 was a French painter and sculptor an esteemed representative of academic art. The main source for information on the course is: G.M. Ackerman.

Goldsmiths'-Kress 22767. Kress C577. Lowndes 1459. The title of Malthus's final major work is "something of a misnomer as the book was conceived as a series of tracts rather than a comprehensive and systematic treatise. . . . The Principles had only a limited impact at the time and was severely criticized by J. R. McCulloch and David Ricardo; the latter prepared extensive critical notes. But more recently it has received greater recognition largely as a result of the comments by John Maynard Keynes in the 1930s. Keynes argued that Malthus's theory of effective demand provided a scientific explanation of unemployment and that the hundred-year domination of Ricardo over Malthus had been a disaster for the progress of economics. Keynes believed that if economics had followed Malthus instead of being constrained by Ricardo in an artificial groove the world would be a much wiser and richer place." ODNB N. B.
