For many, these four words instantly conjure late nineteenth-century Paris and the garish colors of Toulouse-Lautrec's iconic posters. More recently, the Eiffel Tower's nightly show of sparkling electric lights has come to exemplify our fantasies of Parisian nightlife. Though we reflect longingly on such scenes, in Illuminated Paris, Hollis Clayson shows that there's more to these clich s than meets the eye. In this richly illustrated book, she traces the dramatic evolution of lighting in Paris and how artists responded to the shifting visual and cultural scenes that resulted from these technologies. While older gas lighting produced a haze of orange, new electric lighting was hardly an improvement: the glare of experimental arc lights - themselves dangerous - left figures looking pale and ghoulish. As Clayson shows, artists' representations of these new colors and shapes reveal turn-of-the-century concerns about modernization as electric lighting came to represent the harsh glare of rapidly accelerating social change. At the same time, in part thanks to American artists visiting the city, these works of art also produced our enduring romantic view of Parisian glamour and its Belle poque. 651 0 $a Paris (France) $v In art. 650 0 $a Lighting, Architectural and decorative, in art. 650 0 $a Art, Modern $y 19th century. 650 7 $a ART / History / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Art, Modern. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00816615 650 7 $a Lighting, Architectural and decorative, in art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00998676 651 7 $a France $z Paris. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205283 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217030343.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190806074917.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AF165F34B81211E9A4E5754297128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
