'O'Neill develops the construct of the Ecole de Nice and fleshes out the scene on the French Riviera at a seminal moment in French visual arts. There is no existing study that even vaguely approaches what this book provides.' Katherine Manthorne, The Graduate Center, CUNY, USA 'Scholars of twentieth-century French visual culture and tourism will find O'Neill's Art and Visual Culture on the French Riviera, 1956-1971 an interesting and important new contribution to the fields... I believe the book is an essential and deeply interesting source on the neglected topic of the Ecole de Nice and its diverse artists, and recommend it to historians of contemporary French tourism, art and visual culture.' H-France 'In her excellent study of what was, arguably, a southern artistic revolution, Rosemary O'Neill offers a detailed history of how the Ecole de Nice evolved... O'Neill draws on a vast range of primary sources, many not readily accessible to today's readers: contemporary newspaper and magazine articles, private correspondence, catalogues, archival materials, manifestos, and recorded interviews. In addition, the work is enhanced by the inclusion of interspersed black and white photographs and an inset of thirteen colour plates.' French Studies '... O'Neill's use of her interviews with the artists and critics, and of films, recordings, writings and publications from the period, give her book its distinctive authority and evocative atmosphere.' Modern & Contemporary France
