He founded the landmark Paris theatre company, the Théâtre de l'Œuvre, which produced experimental work by French Symbolist writers and painters at the end of the nineteenth century. Like his contemporary, theatre pioneer André Antoine, he gave the French premieres of works by the leading Scandinavian playwrights Henrik Ibsen, August Strindberg, and Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson. Early career In 1887, at age 17, Lugné-Poe and friend Georges Bourdon created an amateur theatre group called le Cercle des Escholiers, which sought to perform "unpublished or, at the very least, little-known works." As he prepared to audition for the Paris Conservatory, he changed his name from Lugné to "Lugné-Poe" in homage to Edgar Allan Poe. While the Conservatory rejected his audition in fall 1887, they accepted him in fall 1888; days late ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Théâtre De L'Œuvre
The Théâtre de l'Œuvre () is a Paris theatre on the Right Bank, located at 3, Cité Monthiers, entrance 55, rue de Clichy, in the 9° arrondissement. It is commonly conflated and confused with the late-nineteenth-century theater company named Théâtre de l'Œuvre (or simply, L'Œuvre), founded by actor-director-producer Lugné-Poe, Aurélien Lugné-Poe, who would not take control of this performance space until 1919. His company is best known for its earlier phase of existence, before it acquired this theatre venue. From 1893 to 1899, in various Parisian theatres, Lugné-Poe premiered modernist plays by foreign dramatists (Ibsen, Strindberg, Hauptmann, Bjørnson, Wilde), as well as new work by French Symbolists, most notoriously Alfred Jarry’s nihilistic farce ''Ubu Roi'', which opened in 1896 at Nouveau-Théâtre (today, Théâtre de Paris, 15, rue Blanche). It is best to discuss the surviving theater building and Lugné-Poe's several-phase theater production company separa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Romy Golan
Romy Golan is an art historian and professor in the Ph.D. program in art history at The Graduate Center, CUNY. Her research focuses on modern European art, particularly French and Italian painting of the interwar and postwar period. Education and career Golan completed her Ph.D. at the Courtauld Institute of Art, London in 1989. Before joining the faculty of The Graduate Center in 1998, Golan taught at Vassar College (1987–2002) and Yale University (1993–1998). Golan’s first book, ''Modernity and Nostalgia: Art and Politics in France between the Wars'' (1995) posits a number of reversals between avant-garde and rearguard. In a challenge to traditional scholarship on interwar France, Golan argued that neo-traditional ''belle peinture'' and modernist painting, cosmopolitanism and xenophobia, in fact often shared the same stage. In ''Muralnomad: The Paradox of Wall Painting, Europe 1927-1957'' (2009), Golan explored the transmediality of the mural image. The book looks at ...

(2018). ''Perrine's Literature: Structure, Sound and Sense, Third Edition''. Cengage Learning. pp. 286-7: "A literary symbol is something that means more than what it suggests on the surface.
