‘In 1846[ce]* the qualities proper to a specifically modern art were discussed by the French writer Baudelaire in his essay on the French Salon. He discerned that colour** would be foremost among these modern qualities, but he still imagined the new art in the context of the Romantic movement. *** In the decades that followed, after 100 years of historicism, the need for modernity was seen to involve not only a new style but contemporary subject matter, and in 1863 Baudelaire praised the draftsman Constantin Guys as “le peintre de la vie moderne” (“the painter of modern life”).
