Critical Mediators: Locating the Art Press

posted on 2023-06-07, 20:11 authored by Meaghan ClarkeMeaghan Clarke
The art press was fundamental to the development of Victorian art, and it documented changing patterns and transnational connections for exhibitions in the nineteenth century. The press acted as a delivery system, mediating and shaping art for an increasingly diverse reading and viewing public. The modern art world had shifted to encompass increasingly cosmopolitan urban centers, facilitating a progressively more mobile and transnational artistic exchange. Art writers formulated new critical trajectories during this period as they traveled between metropolitan centers, from London to Paris, The Hague, Munich, Rome, and beyond. In this essay I examine art writers’ mobility and the significance of international travel in their art criticism. I will focus on the overlapping categories and spaces inhabited by women journalists who wrote about artists with established reputations in Europe and consider their inhabited spaces in conjunction with their contributions to the ever-expanding art historical literature.
