From the publisher’s website:
Paris 1900 (in Spanish) is a collection of eight essays, edited by Pedro Ortega, about different relevant cultural manifestations in the City of Light in the period approximately between 1880 and 1920. That short period of time illuminated novelties such as cinema, saw the birth of the Art Nouveau, the works of Auguste Rodin and produced spectacular displays thanks to the Universal Exhibition. Music is also present, with Satie and Wagner. And, of course, fashion. We also explore a relevant character in the dissemination of symbolist art, Joséphin Péladan, a Rosicrucian, dramatist and lover of art. This book is born from the first edition of the seminar series ”A look at the end of the century” organized by the Autonomous University of Madrid and Heresy and Beauty Culture. This series began with the aim of highlighting the cities that were relevant at the end of the century and of course, the first of its milestones was the city of Paris. For this, we have professors from various Spanish universities as well as a foreign speaker. The course closed with a session at the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, where Professor Guillermo Solana presented us with a lecture on Renoir and a visit to the artist’s exhibition that took place in the museum.
