Nina Lübbren's research activity
More about: Rural Artists' Colonies in Europe - "Toilers of the Sea" - North to South - Breakfast at Monet's
Lübbren's research examines the ramifications of developments within the representation of tourism, geographies and modernities for painting and painters of nineteenth-century Europe.
Fresh concerns addressed include the impact of a new class of non-professional art dealers on the art market and art practices of 19th century artists, the intersection of tourism and visual representation, the function of place-myths for the development of landscape painting, and new patterns of interaction among artists, between artists and locals, and between artists and rural regions in the late 19th century. Aims are to rewrite the history of 19th century landscape art. Objectives are to shed new light on the history of 19th century painting practices in the countryside.
The wider specific context of the output is located within the history of 19th century painting, connecting to the seminal work of T.J. Clark, R. Herbert, G. Pollock and F. Orton. Lübbren's work is at once more focused and more broadly conceived than these authors' texts: she focus on rural artists' colonies and specific practices in specific non-urban locations, but at the same time, looks at all of Europe and not just at France. Lübbren was the first person to study European artists' colonies from a critical perspective; most other studies were non-scholarly. She has expanded on the work done on tourism and art by Herbert, Pollock and Orton into a more rigorous, theoretical framework.
