On Thursday’s class, we took a look at a number of different works that were specifically for the domestic sphere. They fell into a number of new genres and some of the genres we discussed were genre, landscape, and still life. Although the works were not all from the same time period, it shows the progression away from contracted artworks to the use of art dealers and clientele. There was much more freedom in the work that could be produced because the artist would be searched out for a specific style or niche they did very well. With the increased freedom, there was also increased competition and specialization because the artists had to set themselves apart in order to get attention on the scene. An interesting outcome was the collecting of a specific work for an artist instead of a scene or subject matter, like “A Monet” or “A Van Gogh”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
