The Avant-Garde again

23-24 March 2002

Burwalls

University of Bristol

A weekend conference organised by the

Centre for the Study of Visual and Literary Cultures in France

 

This interdisciplinary conference will revisit and reassess the French avant-garde from the Romantic era to Surrealism. Visual and literary versions of avant-gardism will be brought together historically and through theory. The period 1880-1920 will be highlighted, but the time-scale will run from David to de Kooning. Papers will address forms of the avant-garde, including its gendering, and figures such as Champfleury, Baudelaire, George Moore, Zola, Cézanne, Apollinaire. In addition to papers, there will be ample opportunity for open discussion.
