| Gustave
III research programme |
03/2004 |
 Gustave III research programme is a
major line in the Académie Desprez's activities. Focusing on the
sovereign's life and works, on his thoughts and actions, the
programme aims to renew the approach of the "Gustave III
phenomenon" in his complex relationship to the arts of his
time.
The research programme is particularly
concerned with the longly neglected study of the sovereign's
journeys to Paris. The study focuses on the influence these
journeys had on the arts not only in Sweden but also in France.
Gustave III's character in his relation
to the work of art is protean. Beyond the royal expected role, as
a commission giver, Gustave III is, turn to turn, actor, author,
poet and stage director. Like Louis XIV, he organises artistic
life around the everlasting turmoil created by his incredible
energy.
The Patron / Artist relationship is
nevertheless interesting in a todays approach: his beeing a
patron and his practicing as an amateur make Gustave almost an artist, so deep is his influence in the completed
works. His name
is indissociatable from the names of at least twenty major
artists of his time.
In the future, the programme will enable
us to draw a panorama comprehending directions both versatile
(litterature, music, theatre, painting, danse) and stimulating
for todays man for they are rich of contemporary perspectives.
