- Abstract (en)
- The intense interest in the rococo and 18th c. French culture which spread through English painters and their critics in the 1890s merged with the contemporary fascination for Bergson's philosophy to produce an aesthetics of interiority, sensuousness and the fictive creations of memory which dominated painting. Takes the case of landscape to explore the ways that painters inhabited and reported on this otherworldly universe. The identities of painters like Charles Conder, Philip Wilson Steer and other English landscapists, or of a critic like George Moore, are revealed as constructed through the alternative spaces of sensibility and recourse to interior states which this art created.
