The Politics of Aesthetic Judgment

By Barbara R. Walters

The Politics of Aesthetic Judgment examines Impressionism in the context of the changing worldview and institutional structures for art in fin-de-si cle France. These changes are empirically connected to new patronage groups for art, especially third generation European Jews for whom group identity became salient during the Dreyfus Affair, and Americans, whose social aspirations resisted emulation of an earlier aristocracy.
