The Luxembourg Nation and the Arts around 1900
"A country with no artistic aspirations is a country dying of anaemia"
Around 1900, despite the absence of a museum and a fine arts school, Luxembourg witnessed a growing awareness of the importance of 'national' artistic creation, a subject reflected in the exhibition Vu Lilien a Linnen. It is through constant dialogue with foreign influences that this art scene was built. A new legal framework and new institutions nonetheless played an important role, complementing that of private patrons. The lecture presents the particular context of this era when, thanks to the rise of the steel industry, the State had for the first time the means to pursue a national policy, including in the fields of art and education.
