Writing the Dandy through Art Criticism: Elegance and Civilization inMonsieur, 1920–1924

Abstract

The French monthly Monsieur had a rather short lifespan (1920–1924), but it nevertheless managed to outline a “retour à l’ordre” for the dandy in part through its art critical writing. Monsieur’s critical writing provided a unique space for an empathetic entry (or Einfühlung) into the works of art, which in turn aided the perpetuation of a postwar dandyist masculinity.
