I am going to rephrase a passage of the big book. Can you pls let me know if my rephrasing is correct or not ?
All of Franc;oise Duparc’s surviving paintings blend portraiture and genre. Her subjects appear to be acquain tances whom she has asked to pose; she has captured both their self-consciousness and the spontaneity of their everyday activities, the depiction of which characterizes genre painting. But genre painting, especially when it portrayed members of the humblest classes, was never popular in eighteenth-century France. The Le Nain brothers and Georges de La Tour, who also chose such themes, were largely ignored. Their present high standing is due to a different, more democratic political climate and to different aesthetic values: we no longer require artists to provide ideal images of humanity for our moral edification but rather regard such idealization as a falsifi cation of the truth. Duparc gives no improving message and discreetly refrains from judging her subjects. In brief, her works neither elevate nor instruct. This restraint largely explains her lack of popular success during her lifetime, even if her talent did not go completely unrecog nized by her eighteenth-century French contemporaries
Rephrasing :
- Franchoise Duparc’s paintings contain portraits of people and genre.
- The subjects of her paintings contain people and various resources by asking them to pose and of whom she has taken various feelings and behaviours of day to day life which characterize genre painting.
- But this type of painting was never popular in 18th century France specially when it depicted most humble people.
- The brothers Nain and Tour were also not noticed when they chose the above subject.
- The brother’s high ranking is due to a more democratic nature and different aesthetic ideas.
- These portraits of humanism to educate and cultivate moral values are no longer needed as they more make the truth look false.
- In this regards Duparc makes no improvements in her work and dosen’t even judge them
- Her works neither encourage nor instruct.
- This limitation was the reason behind Duparc’s lack of success in her time even though her talent was known by artists of her age and time in france.
