Abstract (en)

Examines issues of liberal versus manual art, design versus execution, the role of craft in Rococo art, and the relationship of art education to liberty in 18th c. France, as reflected in evidence from the lawsuit initiated in 1766 to settle a dispute between artists and craftsmen within the Paris guild of master painters and sculptors (the Communauté de peintres et de sculpteurs) concerning the administration of the guild's academy, the Académie de S. Luc. Also examines the intervention of the Académie royale de peintres et de sculpteurs and their efforts to gain control over artistic training and exhibition in Paris and to restrict the guild to its manual and entrepreneurial members.
