Summary "L'art ochloctratique: salons de 1882 & de 1883" by Joséphin Péladan is a critical examination of contemporary art and aesthetics written in the late 19th century. The work reflects the author's views on the decline of artistic values in his time, opposing the materialism he perceives in modern art. Throughout the text, Péladan engages with various artistic movements and critiques key figures, emphasizing the spiritual and moral dimensions of art over mere technical skill. The opening of the work sets a grand tone, as Péladan addresses a distinguished woman, Madame Clémentine H. Couve, expressing admiration and respect. He discusses the historical evolution of art, contrasting the glorified past of the Renaissance, where figures like the pope and artists thrived in a culture of beauty and meaning, with the present state of art, which he views as chaotic and lacking in depth. He laments the loss of spiritual ideals in contemporary artistic expressions, suggesting that true art must transcend material representation to convey profound truths. This introduction lays the groundwork for Péladan's further critiques and reflections on the exhibitions of 1882 and 1883, promising a thought-provoking exploration of artistic values.
