Peinture et société, par Pierre Francastel, Gallimard
€35.00
Published in 1965 in Gallimard's "Idées-Arts" series, Painting and Society bears the subtitle: "Birth and Destruction of a Pictorial Space from the Renaissance to Cubism".
In this influential work, Pierre Francastel argues that painting cannot be understood independently from the society that produced it. From the Renaissance to the emergence of Cubism, he explores the relationships between artistic forms, social structures, historical transformations and ways of seeing the world.
Illustrated with numerous black-and-white reproductions, the book remains one of the major works of twentieth-century sociology of art.

About the author :
Pierre Francastel was one of the pioneers of the sociology of art. He profoundly renewed art history by examining artworks as expressions of broader social and cultural realities rather than as purely aesthetic creations.
Why this book is unusual :
Instead of focusing solely on artists and styles, Francastel investigates how societies shape visual representation and how changes in painting reflect changes in the way people understand the world.
