DESCRIPTION:André Dombrowski\n\n“The Impressionist Instant and the Poetics 
 of the Schedule”\n	\n	​Abstract: This lecture will consider the historical c
 onjunction between the industrialization of time and Impressionism\, the a
 rtistic style that made time and especially the instant its pivot. In part
 icular\, I will analyze the so-called “unification of time” in the 1870s t
 o 1890s—the synchronization\, standardization\, and commercialization of p
 recise time that marked the era—and the pressures it put on the speeds of 
 modern depiction. Claude Monet at the Gare Saint-Lazare—one of the crucial
  sites of this transformation—will be the focus.\n	\n	Bio: André Dombrowski’
 s research centers on the arts and material cultures of France and Germany
  in the mid to late nineteenth century\, with an emphasis on the histories
  of science\, politics\, and psychology. He is particularly concerned with
  the social and intellectual rationales behind the emergence of avant-gard
 e painting in the 1860s and 1870s\, including Impressionism. Winner of the
  Phillips Book Prize from the Center for the Study of Modern Art at the Ph
 illips Collection\, he is author of Cézanne\, Murder\, and Modern Life (Un
 iversity of California Press\, 2013). The book analyzes Cézanne’s early sc
 enes of murder and sexual violence through the lens of pre-Freudian defini
 tions of desire and instinct. He has started two new projects: one shorter
  book on the relation between Impressionism and the history of modern time
 -keeping (chapters will focus\, for instance\, on “reaction time” and the 
 birth of Impressionism\, or the advent of “universal time” in 1884 and its
  relationship to the serried order of Seurat’s pointillist technique)\; an
 d a longer study that will situate the innovations of Édouard Manet’s majo
 r 1860s paintings within the Second Empire’s political and juridical cultu
 res.\n	 \n
