Это был важный стиль во Франции до конца 19 века. Он также оказал сильное влияние на архитектуру в Соединенных Штатах из-за многих выдающихся американских архитекторов, которые учились в Школе изящных искусств, в том числе Генри Хобсона Ричардсона , Джона Галена Ховарда , Дэниела Бернхэма и Луи Салливана .

История [ править ]

Стиль Beaux-Arts развился из французского классицизма стиля Людовика XIV , а затем французского неоклассицизма, начиная со стиля Людовика XV и стиля Людовика XVI . Французскими архитектурными стилями до Французской революции управляла Королевская академия архитектуры (1671–1793), а затем, после Французской революции, Секция архитектуры Академии изящных искусств . Академия проводила конкурс на Гран-при Рима в области архитектуры, который давал победителям возможность изучить классическую архитектуру античности в Риме. [2]

The formal neoclassicism of the old regime was challenged by four teachers at the Academy, Joseph-Louis Duc, Félix Duban, Henri Labrouste and Léon Vaudoyer, who had studied at the French Academy in Rome at the end of the 1820s. They wanted to break away from the strict formality of the old style by introducing new models of architecture from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Their goal was to create an authentic French style based on French models. Their work was aided beginning in 1837 by the creation of the Commission of Historic Monuments, headed by the writer and historian Prosper Mérimée, and by the great interest in the Middle Ages caused by the publication in 1831 of Горбун из Нотр-Дама Виктора Гюго. Их заявленное намерение состояло в том, чтобы «запечатлеть в нашей архитектуре подлинно национальный характер». [3]

Стиль, называемый на английском языке Beaux-Arts, достиг пика своего развития во время Второй империи (1852–1870) и последующей Третьей республики . Стиль обучения, который привел к созданию архитектуры Beaux-Arts, продолжался без особых перерывов до 1968 года [2].

The Beaux-Arts style heavily influenced the architecture of the United States in the period from 1880 to 1920.[4] In contrast, many European architects of the period 1860–1914 outside France gravitated away from Beaux-Arts and towards their own national academic centers. Owing to the cultural politics of the late 19th century, British architects of Imperial classicism followed a somewhat more independent course, a development culminating in Sir Edwin Lutyens's New Delhi government buildings.[citation needed]

Training[edit]

Обучение Beaux-Arts подчеркивало основные примеры имперской римской архитектуры между Августом и императорами Севера , итальянского Возрождения и, в частности, французского и итальянского барокко , но затем обучение могло быть применено к более широкому спектру моделей: кватроченто флорентийским дворцовым фасадам или Французская поздняя готика . Американские архитекторы поколения Beaux-Arts часто возвращались к греческим моделям, у которых была сильная местная история в период американского греческого возрождения.начала 19 века. Впервые репертуар фотографий дополнился тщательными масштабными рисунками и визуализацией деталей на месте.

При обучении изящному искусству широко использовались аграфы , застежки, соединяющие одну архитектурную деталь с другой; взаимопроникновению форм, привычке барокко; к «говорящей архитектуре» ( architecture parlante ), в которой предполагаемая уместность символизма могла быть доведена до буквальных крайностей.

При обучении Beaux-Arts особое внимание уделялось созданию быстрых концептуальных эскизов, хорошо завершенных перспективных презентационных рисунков, пристальному вниманию к программе и тщательной детализации. Соображения, связанные с участком, включали социальный и городской контекст. [5]

Все стажеры- архитекторы прошли обязательные этапы - изучение античных моделей, построение аналосов , анализ, воспроизводящий греческие или римские модели, «карманные» исследования и другие стандартные этапы - в долгом конкурсе на несколько желанных мест в Академии Франции. Рим (расположенный на вилле Медичи ) с традиционными требованиями по отправке через определенные промежутки времени презентационных рисунков называется посланником Рима .

Характеристики [ править ]

  • Украшение здания Beaux-Arts с изображениями римских богинь Помоны и Дианы . Обратите внимание на натурализм поз и рустованность каменной кладки.

  • Alternating male and female mascarons decorate keystones on the San Francisco City Hall

Beaux-Arts architecture depended on sculptural decoration along conservative modern lines, employing French and Italian Baroque and Rococo formulas combined with an impressionistic finish and realism. In the façade shown above, Diana grasps the cornice she sits on in a natural action typical of Beaux-Arts integration of sculpture with architecture.

Slightly overscaled details, bold sculptural supporting consoles, rich deep cornices, swags and sculptural enrichments in the most bravura finish the client could afford gave employment to several generations of architectural modellers and carvers of Italian and Central European backgrounds. A sense of appropriate idiom at the craftsman level supported the design teams of the first truly modern architectural offices.

Characteristics of Beaux-Arts architecture included:

  • Flat roof[4]
  • Rusticated and raised first story[4]
  • Hierarchy of spaces, from "noble spaces"—grand entrances and staircases—to utilitarian ones
  • Arched windows[4]
  • Arched and pedimented doors[4]
  • Classical details:[4] references to a synthesis of historicist styles and a tendency to eclecticism; fluently in a number of "manners"
  • Symmetry[4]
  • Statuary,[4] sculpture (bas-relief panels, figural sculptures, sculptural groups), murals, mosaics, and other artwork, all coordinated in theme to assert the identity of the building
  • Classical architectural details:[4] balustrades, pilasters, festoons, cartouches, acroteria, with a prominent display of richly detailed clasps (agrafes), brackets and supporting consoles
  • Subtle polychromy

Beaux-Arts architecture by country[edit]

Europe[edit]

Belgium[edit]

  • Royal Museum for Central Africa, Tervuren

  • Main triumphal arch with one of the two side buildings of the Cinquantenaire, Brussels

  • Overview from the Royal Palace of Laeken, Brussels

  • Panoramic view of the Royal Galleries of Ostend

  • Herenhuis Vandenbroeck at the Avenue Molière and Avenue Brugmann.

Even though the style was not used as much as in neighbouring country France, some examples of Beaux-Arts buildings can still be found in Belgium. The most prominent of these examples is the Royal Museum for Central Africa in Tervuren, but the complexes and triumphal arch of the Cinquantenaire in Brussels and expansions of the Palace of Laeken in Brussels and Royal Galleries of Ostend also carry the Beaux-Arts style, created by the French architect Charles Girault. Furthermore, various large Beaux-Arts buildings can also be found in Brussels at the Molière Avenue. As an old student of the École des Beaux-Arts and as a designer of the Petit Palais, Girault was the figurehead of the Beaux-Arts around the 20th century. After the death of Alphonse Balat, he became the new and favourite architect of Leopold II of Belgium. Since Leopold was the grandson of Louis Philippe I of France, he loved this specific building style which is similar to and has its roots in the architecture that has been realized in the 17th and 18th century for the French crown.

  • Museum of Natural History, Paris by Louis-Jules André (1877–1889)

  • The Grand Palais. Paris (1897–1900)

The Beaux-Arts style in France in the 19th century was initiated by four young architects trained at the École des Beaux-Arts, architects; Joseph-Louis Duc, Félix Duban, Henri Labrouste and Léon Vaudoyer, who had first studied Roman and Greek architecture at the Villa Medici in Rome, then in the 1820s began the systematic study of other historic architectural styles, including French architecture of the Middle Ages and Renaissance. They instituted teaching about a variety of architectural styles at the École des Beaux-Arts, and installed fragments of Renaissance and Medieval buildings in the courtyard of the school so students could draw and copy them. Each of them also designed new non-classical buildings in Paris inspired by a variety of different historic styles: Labrouste built the Sainte-Geneviève Library (1844–50), Duc designed the new Palais de Justice and Court of Cassation on the Île-de-la-Cité (1852–68), Vaudroyer designed the Conservatoire national des arts et métiers (1838–67), and Duban designed the new buildings of the École des Beaux-Arts. Together, these buildings, drawing upon Renaissance, Gothic and Romanesque and other non-classical styles, broke the monopoly of neoclassical architecture in Paris.[6]

Germany[edit]

  • Bode Museum, Berlin

  • Laeiszhalle, Hamburg

Germany is one of the countries where the Beaux-Arts style was well received, along with Baroque Revival architecture. The style was especially popular and most prominently featured in the now non-existent region of Prussia during the German Empire. The best example of Beaux-Arts buildings in Germany today are the Bode Museum in Berlin, and the Laeiszhalle and Hochschule für Musik und Theater Hamburg in Hamburg.

The first American architect to attend the École des Beaux-Arts was Richard Morris Hunt, between 1846 and 1855, followed by Henry Hobson Richardson in 1860. They were followed by an entire generation. Richardson absorbed Beaux-Arts lessons in massing and spatial planning, then applied them to Romanesque architectural models that were not characteristic of the Beaux-Arts repertory. His Beaux-Arts training taught him to transcend slavish copying and recreate in the essential fully digested and idiomatic manner of his models. Richardson evolved a highly personal style (Richardsonian Romanesque) freed of historicism that was influential in early Modernism.[9]

The "White City" of the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893 in Chicago was a triumph of the movement and a major impetus for the short-lived City Beautiful movement in the United States.[10] Beaux-Arts city planning, with its Baroque insistence on vistas punctuated by symmetry, eye-catching monuments, axial avenues, uniform cornice heights, a harmonious "ensemble," and a somewhat theatrical nobility and accessible charm, embraced ideals that the ensuing Modernist movement decried or just dismissed.[11] The first American university to institute a Beaux-Arts curriculum is the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1893, when the French architect Constant-Désiré Despradelle was brought to MIT to teach. The Beaux-Arts curriculum was subsequently begun at Columbia University, the University of Pennsylvania, and elsewhere.[12] From 1916, the Beaux-Arts Institute of Design in New York City schooled architects, painters, and sculptors to work as active collaborators.

Numerous American university campuses were designed in the Beaux-Arts, notably: Columbia University, (commissioned in 1896), designed by McKim, Mead & White; the University of California, Berkeley (commissioned in 1898), designed by John Galen Howard; the United States Naval Academy (built 1901–1908), designed by Ernest Flagg; the campus of MIT (commissioned in 1913), designed by William W. Bosworth; Emory University and Carnegie Mellon University (commissioned in 1908 and 1904, respectively),[13] both designed by Henry Hornbostel; and the University of Texas (commissioned in 1931), designed by Paul Philippe Cret.

While the style of Beaux-Art buildings was adapted from historical models, the construction used the most modern available technology. The Grand Palais in Paris (1897–1900) had a modern iron frame inside; the classical columns were purely for decoration. The 1914–1916 construction of the Carolands Chateau south of San Francisco was built to withstand earthquakes, following the devastating 1906 San Francisco earthquake. The noted Spanish structural engineer Rafael Guastavino (1842–1908), famous for his vaultings, known as Guastavino tile work, designed vaults in dozens of Beaux-Arts buildings in Boston, New York, and elsewhere. Beaux-Arts architecture also brought a civic face to railroads. Chicago's Union Station, Detroit's Michigan Central Station, Jacksonville's Union Terminal, Grand Central Terminal and the original Pennsylvania Station in New York, and Washington, DC's Union Station are famous American examples of this style. Cincinnati has a number of notable Beaux-Arts style buildings, including the Hamilton County Memorial Building in the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood, and the former East End Carnegie library in the Columbia-Tusculum neighborhood. An ecclesiastical variant on the Beaux-Arts style is Minneapolis' Basilica of St. Mary,[14] the first basilica in the United States, which was designed by Franco-American architect Emmanuel Louis Masqueray (1861–1917) and opened in 1914, and a Freemason temple variant, the Plainfield Masonic Temple, in Plainfield, New Jersey, designed by John E. Minott in 1927. The main branch of the New York Public Library is another prominent example. Another prominent U.S. example of the style is the largest academic dormitory in the world, Bancroft Hall at the abovementioned United States Naval Academy.[15] The tallest railway station in the world at the time of completion, Michigan Central Station in Detroit, was also designed in the style.[16]

Beaux-Arts architects in the United States[edit]

In the late 1800s, during the years when Beaux-Arts architecture was at a peak in France, Americans were one of the largest groups of foreigners in Paris. Many of them were architects and students of architecture who brought this style back to America.[17] The following individuals, students of the École des Beaux-Arts, are identified as creating work characteristic of the Beaux-Arts style within the United States:

  • Otto Eugene Adams
  • William A. Boring
  • William W. Bosworth
