Description
A Night Class, circa 1881. The artist himself described his painting of a night class: "Under smoldering electric lights, a model in historical costume poses for eager, ambitious art students. A few of them might have real talent, some could become commercial artists, but most, unfortunately, have no future in art at all." Although trained in a conservative academic style, Vibert here pokes fun at his own artistic tradition. Vibert was fond of caricaturing the pretentious elements of 19th-century French society. The work was shown at the 1881 Salon exhibition. Creator Muhammad Rizavi Hindi (Indian, active mid-1700s), attributed to. (Photo by Heritage Arts/Heritage Images via Getty Images)
