This is the central site for a long-term project to research, examine, and respond to the radical collective of writers, theorists, architects, and visual artists who operated in Paris between 1829 and 1835 under the names of the Jeunes France & the Bouzingo, and through them to build a critical understanding of French Romanticist subculture through the historical lens of a continuing politically vigilant Anglophone avant-garde.

Newly Available Images by Louis Boulanger!

Thanks to Matt Ames & a generous partnership with Philosophy INC, I have gained access to a book scanner, and will be posting the fruits of my labour over the next several days.

To start, here are 38 images by Louis Boulanger, the Frenetic Romanticist artist and co-founder of the Bouzingo, most of them never before available online:

Presently this pdf will be split into separate .jpegs which will be made available through the Bouzingo Gallery tab.

There is short biography of Boulanger and a translated sonnet written by him downloadable under the Biographies tab of this website.

Look for a new Boulanger anthology from the mOnocle-Lash Revenants series by the end of the year; it will be the first book dedicated to him since 1925, in the book (now in the public domain) from which these images are taken. These come from the copy in the Revenants Archive:

Louis Boulanger: Le Peintre Poête, by Aristide Marie. 1925. Sole Edition. Floury, Paris.
