Críticas:

"Mainardi has filled a sorry gap in the field....Mainardi provides valuable information and insight concerning the state art system....can expand and enhance our general conception of the later nineteenth-century art world." Alisa Luxenberg, Art Journal "The scholarship is impeccable, with an extremely impressive command of primary and secondary sources alike. Considering the often complicated nature of the subject matter, the style is refreshingly direct and readable. Mainardi packs an enormous amount of information and sophisticated analysis into this volume. It will be a major resource for scholars studying the cultural climate of the early Third Republic." Robert Jay, Nineteenth-Century French Studies ."..important and provocative book....Mainardi's intriguing book invites further exploration of the complex ways in which divergent audiences and artist communities conceptualized the relationship between art and the marketplace." Rachel N. Klein, American Historical Review

Reseña del editor:

The End of the Salon examines the cultural forces that contributed to the demise of the most important exhibition centre for art in Europe and America in the late nineteenth century. Tracing the history of the salon from the French Revolution, when it was taken away from the Academy and opened to all artists, to the 1880s, Patricia Mainardi shows that its contradictory purposes, as didactic exhibition venue and art market place, resulted in its collapse. She also situates the salon within the shifting currents of art movements, from modern to traditional, and the evolving politics of the Third Republic, when France definitively chose a republican over a monarchic form of government. The book, which was originally published in 1993, demonstrates how all artists were forced to function within the framework of the social, economic and cultural changes then taking place and how art and social history are inextricably linked.
