Caillebotte, The Floor Scrapers, 1875
The Floor Scrapers is such a different depiction of manual labor then say Courbet's painting of the Stonebreakers.발음듣기
Dr. Summers: Courbet's Stonebreakers shows two men working outside, breaking stones in the heat and this is Courbet's homage to the working [tour].발음듣기
On the other hand you have Caillebotte who is painting three men inside this gorgeous room already.발음듣기
What's interesting about this is that with Courbet's image of the Stonebreakers, the men are anonymous.발음듣기
They're inside, you would expect the stonebreakers to be possibly half nude but they're not, they're fully dressed.발음듣기
As opposed to these men who are half nude and in this kind of kneeling position, scraping forward towards the artist.발음듣기
Simultaneously, eroticizing the male body through the lighting and the highlighting of the muscles on the arms and backs which match the curvy linear lines on the raw iron just outside the window.발음듣기
So he's centralizing the worker as opposed to what we could read Courbet is honoring or heroisizing the worker.발음듣기
Dr. Summers: During the 1800s, homosexuality was invented as an identity, before then it was just an act.발음듣기
Interestingly enough within the visual arts, the male nude roughly at the same time periods begins to disappear almost completely in replace of the female nude.발음듣기
I think that someone like Caillebotte who's been questioned by many as being same sex oriented would paint such images.발음듣기
He didn't have to worry about selling his images because he came from a wealthy family and so he could paint what he wanted to.발음듣기
Dr. Giuntini: I think there are definitely class issues at play here because Caillebotte has painted these three men from a slightly superior position, he's looking down on them, and they are so eroticized.발음듣기
Dr. Summers: During this time period there was this self fashioning of the self by many men with money or who pretended they have money.발음듣기
Many people who enacted this kind of lifestyle that many would call decadent even in France during that time.발음듣기
Wearing expensive suits, etcetera and the [finer] and the dandier kind of examples of this figure.발음듣기
What's interesting is that they were drawn to the working class male body, not the aristocratic body but the body of the working poor but that plays out here I think visually.발음듣기
Where you have Caillebotte painting these men in this scene of labor that glorify the body of the male.발음듣기
