《莫奈的瞬间：印象派与十九世纪时间技术的现代化纽带》

 

这是一部令人震撼的著作，深入探索了克劳德·莫奈（1840-1926）——法国印象派创始人及世界上最知名的画家之一——的作品与十九世纪定义现代性的时间技术之间至关重要的联系。安德烈·多姆布罗夫斯基揭示了莫奈在十九世纪末时间技术背景下对瞬间性的颂扬。

 

莫奈的印象派风格展现了对现代时间压力的敏锐洞察，但迄今为止，学者们尚未深入研究影响印象派主要风格转变的时间与计时技术历史。本书认为，对瞬间性的迷恋是对当时新出现的、刻板且标准化的时间文化的拒绝。《莫奈的瞬间》追溯了莫奈艺术风格的演变，这种演变与当时时间形态本身发生的巨大转变息息相关。

 

在每一章中，多姆布罗夫斯基都聚焦于莫奈一系列作品与特定时间技术或时间体验之间的联系，同时提供了当时评论家对印象派的反应。本书基于卓越的研究与分析，为莫奈的关键画作提供了新的解读，并从全新视角审视了十九世纪末的艺术、社会与现代时间观念。

 

A stunning exploration of the vital links between Claude Monet’s Impressionism and the time technologies that helped define modernity in the nineteenth century

 

Monet’s Minutes is a revelatory account charting the relationship between the works of Claude Monet (1840–1926)—founder of French Impressionism and one of the world’s best-known painters—and the modern experience of time. André Dombrowski illuminates Monet’s celebration of instantaneity in the context of the late nineteenth-century time technologies that underwrote it.

 

Monet’s version of Impressionism demonstrated an acute awareness of the particularly modern pressures of time, but until now scholars have not examined the histories and technologies of time and timekeeping that informed Impressionism’s major stylistic shifts. Arguing that the fascination with instantaneity rejected the dulling cultures of newly routinized and standardized time, Monet’s Minutes traces the evolution of Monet’s art to what were then seismic shifts in the shape of time itself.

 

In each chapter, Dombrowski focuses on the connections between a set of Monet’s works and a specific technology or experience of time, while providing the voices of period critics responding to Impressionism. Grounded in exceptional research and analyses, this book offers new interpretations of key paintings by Monet and a fresh perspective on late nineteenth-century art, society, and modern temporality.
