- Quim Bigas<\/a>\u00a0\u201cWhen Thomas Couture painted The Romans of the Decadence he delivered the greatest sermon in paint ever rendered, and created the greatest ethical (not religious) decoration in the world\u2026.Couture chose this subject to preach not only to his own people \u2013 who at that time needed it badly \u2013 but to all mankind and in an enduring form, so that every good citizen of every country would, every time he saw this picture and pondered over it, recoil from going too far on the paths of selfishness and immorality. Therefore no more socially lifting subject could possibly have been chosen, since the ever present social danger in every community is, that we may forget the fundamental truth announced above, namely, that civilization in the last analysis means a getting away from the animal, and that we might slide back into the sensuality which insured the end of Rome. This conception of the subject is one of the most lofty and at the same time original in the history of art\u2026.As was shown in the November issue of the magazine: there are three kinds of beautiful lines \u2013 picturesque and angular lines, which jostle our eyes; graceful, serpentine lines, which cradle our eyes; and sublime pyramidal lines which lift the eyes heavenward. All these elements of beauty are employed in this great creation of Couture\u2019s with a skill worthy of all praise\u2026.From the standpoint of expression note first that, instead of choosing vulgar and brutalized faces \u2013 as one silly modernist suggested that he should have done \u2013 he chose patricians, and represented them as handsome men and beautiful women. This makes the degeneracy all the more poignant, as it shows that in those decadent days even the finest of the race were degenerate\u2026 Couture could have made his men and women much more drunk and slobbering-over with animalism. But that would not have been patrician. Patricians rarely so far forget themselves as to become beastly, at least not in public\u2026.In short, this sermon to mankind is preached so completely, so clearly, gently, poetically; its symbolism is so easily read by any man of intelligence, that the title The Romans of the Decadence is all that is necessary to enable one to grasp quickly the full meaning.\u201d\n\nApril 3 at 10:37pm<\/abbr><\/a>\u00a0\u00b7<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
