RECENZIE CONFERINȚĂ – ACADEMIA CA OGLINDĂ A SCHIMBĂRII: 125 DE ANI DE ARTE ȘI ȘTIINȚE UMANISTE
CONFERENCE REVIEW – THE ACADEMY AS A MIRROR OF CHANGE: 125 YEARS OF ARTS AND HUMANITIES

Summary/Abstract: The conference was opened by Antoine Picon (architectural historian), who compared the French Beaux Arts – state-financed since the founding of the Academy of Painting and Sculpture in Paris and of the Academy of Architecture in Paris in 1671 – with the French Academy in Rome in 1666 and the Prix de Rome (awarded for architecture since 1720). The Architecture Diploma existed in France only from the end of the 19th century, as until then the principle that artists needed no diploma had been followed. By contrast, the American Academy in Rome (AAR) is privately financed. In reinterpreting the Beaux Arts, the same point is reached, namely elitism, but there are also differences, for example in the building plan. Fellows in architecture have been ap-pointed since 1894.
