All of Adolphe-William Bouguereau's work is available online so it is easy to see the range of his style and subjects. Elizabeth Bouguereau's work is also accessible - including the painting in the Exeter Historical Society which we might try to visit, either singly or as a group. We will place their work in its original context to find out why the Impressionists disliked him. He was the epitome of the Salon artist that the modernists, both disliked yet envied for his success. His art dealer was Durand-Ruel who nurtured Monet and other modernist painters who teased each other about 'drawing like Bouguereau'. Does Elizabeth Gardner Bouguereau need a separate discussion as women artists faced an uphill battle to succeed? William Bouguereau is being rediscovered, though, as museums are broadening their approach to nineteenth century French art to include the figural artists in the classical style, i.e., Bouguereau and his ilk. It will be fun and hopefully challenging for the class to decide what to do about the Bouguereau.
