The Soci�t� des Trois in the Nineteenth Century: The Translocal Artistic Union of Whistler Fantin-Latour and Legros

This book reframes the formative years of three significant artists: Henri Fantin-Latour, Alphonse Legros, and James Mc Neill Whistler. The trio’s coming together as the Société des trois occurred during the emergence of the artistic avant-garde-a movement toward individualism and self-expression. Though their oeuvres appear dissimilar, it is imperative that the three artists’ early work and letters be viewed in light of the Société, as it informed many of their decisions in both London and Paris. Each artist actively cultivated a translocal presence, creating artistic networks that transcended national borders. Thus, this book will serve as a comprehensive resource on the development, production, implications, and eventual end of the Société.Additional ISBNs9781138503151, 9781351272926, 1138503150, 1351272926The Société des Trois in the Nineteenth Century: The Translocal Artistic Union of Whistler, Fantin-Latour, and Legros 1st Edition is written by Melissa Berry and published by Routledge.
