Jim NolanHOST
Paul Baudry, 1828 to 1886, though a disciple of Lyne, was not precisely a semi-classicist, and perhaps for that reason was superior to any of the academic painters of his time.
Jim NolanHOST
He was a follower of the old masters in Rome, more than the École de Beaux-Arts.
Jim NolanHOST
The subjects, aside from the many splendid portraits, were almost all classical, allegorical, or mythological.
Jim NolanHOST
He was a fine draftsman, and what is more remarkable in conjunction therewith, a fine colorist.
Mary G. MortonGUEST
I mean, if you were in America, you had to go to Paris.
Mary G. MortonGUEST
You had to, hopefully if you were a male artist, you could get into the École des Beaux-Arts.
Mary G. MortonGUEST
The École des Beaux-Arts didn't let female students in until 1897.
Mary G. MortonGUEST
So Cassatt arrives in 1865, and she has to cobble together her own tutelage from private teachers.
Mary G. MortonGUEST
And then, of course, copying at the Louvre, which is just amazing.

William McLeanHOST
Prior to the Bauhaus, I suppose the schools of architecture were...
William McLeanHOST
Well, the big one was the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris.
William McLeanHOST
That was the model for schools everywhere, including in America.
William McLeanHOST
The method of teaching architecture and allied arts at the École des Beaux-Arts was to copy the classics, to learn from Greek and Roman architecture by sketching, by measuring, by reproducing, and attempting to use those precedents in modern projects.
William McLeanHOST
There was very little attention to experimenting with new materials, new techniques, which were coming along, of course, at the same time as the Bauhaus.
William McLeanHOST
So those two things are not independent.

Micah ChristensenGUEST
And when a traveling Italian artist came through to do decorative work in their cathedral, this son of an undertaker started, who had been drawing the cadavers that his father was working on, kind of spoke up and asked if he could go and travel from cathedral to cathedral with this itinerant Italian journeyman painter whose job it was to mostly fix old murals.
Micah ChristensenGUEST
And he eventually became not only co-teacher at the Académie Julienne with Bouguereau, but he replaced at the École des Beaux-Arts the position of Ernest Meissonier when he left as teacher and he became the director of the art academy in Toulouse.
Micah ChristensenGUEST
So he went from being like, and he also did some of the most important French murals of the last part of the 19th century that everybody knows about today in France.
Micah ChristensenGUEST
So he came from humble origins and he lived through the most turbulent parts of the 19th century and through World War I and died.

Micah ChristensenGUEST
And a lot of people were rewarded under that system.
Micah ChristensenGUEST
And those people immediately rose up in the arts world too.
Micah ChristensenGUEST
And he built things like the Paris Opera House, which richly rewarded a whole bunch of professors that were at the École des Beaux-Arts when Jean-Paul Laurent was there.
Micah ChristensenGUEST
And then there were those who criticized Napoleon III and who almost entirely lost any support or patronage in the system because of their criticism of the emperor.
