from:Ackland Art Museum category:Arts and Entertainment posted:July 1st, 2009

Situating the Self in Nineteenth Century Europe and America investigates the changing notions of selfhood that emerged over the course of the long nineteenth century (1789 - 1914). This time period was marked by tremendous political and social upheaval, including such milestones as the French Revolution, growing industrialization, and the onset of the First World War. As these events profoundly transformed Europe and America, interest in individualism and subjectivity grew. Situating the Self in Nineteenth Century Europe and America includes portraits, landscapes, and representations of the human figure that explore the various ways selfhood was presented and framed during this period. Artists whose work appears include Camille Pissarro, Henri Rousseau, Eugene Delacroix, Auguste Rodin, Gustave Courbet, and a newly acquired painting by Jean-Louis Le Barbier Le Jeune (at left), among many others.
