Weingarden reframes our understanding of Haussmannization, the demolition and rebuilding of the city into a modern metropolis, as witnessed by nineteenth-century Parisians, while also shedding new light on writers' responses, particularly those of Charles Baudelaire, and of visual artists like �douard Manet, who contemplated and theorized this modernity and its impact. Using a unique word-and-image methodology, the author illustrates the development of ironic parody as a pictorial device that represents the rupture, fragmentation, and transmutation experienced by the artists and their viewers, revealing how art historians can utilize nineteenth-century neuropsychological practices and current neuroscience methods to reconstruct the lived, embodied experiences of nineteenth-century Paris.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of interest to students and scholars working in art history, modern art, urban studies and neuropsychology.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46931317325975,"sku":"9781138337503","price":12867.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781138337503.webp?v=1771612476","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/a-neuroarthistory-of-the-painters-of-modern-life-embodying-baudelairean-modernity-9781138337503","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
