Albert Boime

Albert Boime (Sant Louis, 17 de março de 1933 - Los Angeles, 18 de outubro de 2008) foi um historiador de arte americano e autor de mais de 20 livros de história da arte e numerosos artigos acadêmicos. Ele foi professor de história da arte na Universidade da Califórnia, em Los Angeles, por três décadas, até sua morte.^[1]

Boime escreveu mais de 20 livros de história da arte, focando não apenas no estilo e na forma, mas usando um exame psicanalítico dos contextos sociais e políticos da arte, examinando como as obras de arte são representações da classe, economia, poder e estruturas sociais e raciais. atitudes que existem durante a sua criação.

Seu primeiro livro, The Academy and French Painting in the Nineteenth Century , publicado em 1971 pela Phaidon Press, examinou o papel não intencional da conservadora Académie des Beaux-Arts no desenvolvimento dos pintores do século XIX.  Em 1974, o crítico de arte e comentarista Hilton Kramer do The New York Times,^[2] chamou o livro de "o texto indispensável" para uma reconsideração dos méritos dos pintores do Salon, pois o livro demonstrava a teia de conexões na cultura e nas instituições de a época que afetou os gostos e aspirações artísticas da época.^[3]

Sua série de livros, The Social History of Modern Art , analisou a arte francesa de meados do século XVIII até o final do século XIX, fazendo conexões entre a arte e o tema com eventos históricos da época, como a Revolução Francesa e o governo de Napoleão Bonaparte. A série de quatro volumes e 3 000 páginas, publicada ao longo de um período de duas décadas pela University of Chicago Press, inclui Art in an Age of Revolution, 1750–1800 (1987); Art in an Age of Bonapartism, 1800–1815 (1990); Art in an Age of Counterrevolution, 1815–1848 (2004); e Art in an Age of Civil Struggle, 1848–1871 (2007).^[2]
