A review by franfernandezarce
The Painter of Modern Life by Charles Baudelaire
baudelaire's poetry intimidates me in a way not most poets do but i was pleasantly surprised to see this short essay collection to be easy to follow and clear on its arguments. definitely a recommendable introduction to basics aesthetics, particularly the first titular essay.
content read:
1. "the painter of modern life"
3. " from the salon of 1859"
3.1. "the modern artist"
3.2. "the modern public and photography"
i skipped the second essay, "the life and work of eugene delacroix" since my knowledge of french art history is non-existent.
