Résumé
Published in 1909, the little known work, Peintres de Race, written by Marius-Ary Leblond, the pseudonym of Georges Athénas and Aimé Merlo, proves to be symptomatic of the ideological positions taken by a element of the criticism of modernist art in the beginning of the 20th century. Going beyond just the nationalist and colonialist pronouncements associated with Leblond, this collection of portraits of painters demonstrates all the ambiguity and complexity of the propos and the positions of these authors. This article aims at showing how race asserts itself as a major, persistent criterion in the analysis of modern art.
