Cubism is an early-20th-century avant-garde art movement that revolutionized European painting and sculpture, and inspired related movements in music, literature and architecture. Cubism has been considered the most influential art movement of the 20th century. The term is broadly used in association with a wide variety of art produced in Paris (Montmartre and Montparnasse) or near Paris (Puteaux) during the 1910s and throughout the 1920s.

Delacroix's iconic Liberty leading the People, celebrating the second French Revolution of 1830, is totally different from the neoclassic depiction of Liberty painted by Vallain in 1793..  Romanticism blossomed with Delacroix in art, with Baudelaire and Victor Hugo in literature and Berlioz in music - to name but four; and by the middle of the nineteenth century it had won the day.

# data[].attributes.body
Between 1890 and the First World War, artistic life in France was moving forward as never before. By 1890, moving on from Impressionism, Pissarro had begun to experiment with the way he rendered light and colour, by breaking them up into their constituent  colours. Gauguin was one of these inventors of New Art... In fact he experimented his art in Brittany, by founding the Ecole de Pont-Aven!

Impressionism - the beginning of modern art

# data[].attributes.body
More radically than any artists before them in France, Monet and the Impressionists took painting in a new direction, and they did so at a time when society was changing fast.. Impressionism was not a school, not even a cohesive group of artists all working together: it was a label attached to a fraternity of a dozen or so radical artists most of whom exhibited their paintings together in Paris between 1874 and 1886. Most were French, but not all.
Resolutely modern, they seized the opportunity to paint not just landscapes and people, but all aspects of the changing society in which they lived.
Monet was one of the first artists to find inspiration in street scenes and railway stations...
the Impressionists painted not just light, but the way it played on surfaces, on water, on snow, through haze and clouds and steam, on leaves and on walls.

19th c.Naturalism and realism - landscape and life

# data[].attributes.body
It was the Industrial Revolution in Britain that opened the floodgates to landscape art.

Millet and Courbet saw themselves as Realists,  the term used by Courbet to define his work in the introduction to an 1855 exhibition in Paris.
As landscape artists ("naturalists") they would often put nature - cliffs, stags, waterfalls -  at the heart of their works.  But there is no idealising of nature. It is real, and sometimes dark and menacing.
After all, at a time when the large majority of the population of France still lived a rural life and tilled the land, nature, the outdoors, was primarily a workplace, not a place for leisure. Life was outdoors, so were death and life.
Many artist found Courbet's realism disgusting but a young up and coming realist who greatly admired Courbet, was Edouard Manet. Best known today as one of the Impressionists, Manet was more exactly a realist who was greatly admired by the younger Impressionists, but never actually exhibited in the Impressionist exhibitionsThrough this lineage, Courbet and Manet have come to be recognised as the founding fathers of modern art.

It was under François 1, king of France from 1515 to 1547, that  Renaissance art and architecture first blossomed in France. Shortly after coming to the throne, François, a cultured and intelligent monarch, invited the elderly Leonardo da Vinci to come and work in France.
The most magnificent examples of early French Renaissance architecture are the royal château at Chambord, in the Loire valley, and the rebuilding of the royal palace at Fontainebleau south of Paris.

Since we are used to have a strong unitary power, we expect it to find solutions to most of our problems. That makes a big difference between the economies in France and in the USA.
For instance, in France people pay 48% of the GDP in taxes while people pay 27,1% of the GDP in taxes in the USA.
That means half of wealth is redistributed in France, in order to reduce economic and social inequality. In the USA many people trust more the individual responsibility to do so.

People have been painting "in France" since prehistory. The magnificent cave paintings at le Chauvet in the Ardèche - dating from around 30,000 BC, are among the world's oldest, far older than other fine examples of Paleolithic art in caves at Pech Merle, near Cahors, or Lascaux.
The drawings of Manny's wife and child's death in the film Ice Age were clearly inspired by these cave paintings...

How to use a knife and fork correctly?
First of all, remember that the fork is placed on the left of the plate and the knife on the right.
1. If you have more than one fork, the one on the outside is the fork for the salad and the one on the inside is the fork for the main course. The fork for the main course is wider than the fork for the salad.
2. To cut food, hold the knife in your right hand. The index finger should be almost straight and placed on the base of the top of the knife, i.e. the part opposite the blade. The other four fingers are wrapped around the handle. While keeping your index finger on top of the knife, place your thumb parallel to the handle. The tip of the handle should touch the palm of your hand.
3. Hold the fork in your left hand. The teeth of the fork are in front of you, pointing down. The index finger is stretched and placed on the back of the fork head, making sure to move it away far enough not to touch the food. The other four fingers are wrapped around the handle.
And don't forget!!
4. Bend your wrists so that your index fingers point down towards the plate.
5. Bring small pieces of food to your mouth with the fork....
Ho, and finally:
Don't put your elbows too far apart! Stand up straight, never speak with your mouth full...
And NEVER never put your elbows on the table.

In the Middle Ages, Guillaume Tirel Taillevent, a court chef, wrote Le Viandier, one of the earliest recipe collections of Medieval France. In the 17th century, La Varenne and the notable chef of Napoleon and other dignitaries, Marie-Antoine Carême, moved toward fewer spices and more liberal usage of herbs and creamy ingredients, signaling the beginning of modern cuisine. Cheese and wine are a major part of the cuisine, playing different roles regionally and nationally, with many variations and appellation d’originecontrôlée (AOC) (regulated appellation) laws.

They were so numerous that Armorica became Brittany, the Breton land... Since that period the Breton language has been spoken, even if less and less people use it as a first language now.

Federalism is a type of government in which the power is divided between the national government and other governmental units.
Vs. in France
We have (in contrast)  a unitary government, in which a central authority holds the power. This central authority is embodied by our President, M. Macron and our PM, Mr Philippe.

In the USA as in France, we live in a democracy, which means that we respect the separation of powers, according to Montesquieu's principle:

Ben Franklin has been living for 9 years in France (from 1776 to 1785) as the American Ambassador. Then the French are crazy about Franklin. The ladies wear dresses called "Lightning conductor" in honour of the inventor of the lightning rod.
All over Paris, we see hats, gloves, tobacco jokes "à la Benjamin Franklin".

Parisians mourn his departure in 1785 and, when he died in 1790, not only did the Constituent Assembly interrupt its debates as a sign of mourning, but a huge tribute is paid to him from rue du Louvre to Halle aux Bleds (now the Bourse du Commerce), where 5,000 people listen to the tributes of the king's representatives, the city of Paris and the printing workers.

Let us finish with Versailles, where Benjamin Franklin dared to appear before the Court without a wig and where Louis XVI welcomed his successor, Thomas Jefferson, saying "Ah, you are the one replacing Dr. Franklin". Jefferson replied, "Majesty, no one can replace Dr. Franklin. I'm only his successor!"

To conclude, we can do no better than to quote Mirabeau, who greeted his memory in the Assembly by saying "Benjamin Franklin, the genius who freed America and poured on Europe from the streams of light. The wise man, whom two worlds demand".

Subject to much misapprehension on the American side. The United States liberated Paris in the second world war, with the help of the heavy lifting being performed by the Red Army in the east, and the intern Résistance in France.

A kind of renewal of the joint Franco-American vows of commitment to the ideal of liberty. When the statue was conceived, both sides had rather botched the project. The United States had just fought a heinous war over its peculiar institution. France had an emperor again. With the fall of the second empire in 1870, France thought fit to mark the occasion with a gift to its old republican counterpart. Édouard René de Laboulaye, a historian of America and an anti-slavery activist, organized it; Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi sculptured it; Gustav Eiffel engineered it; and the French public paid for it. The Americans built the pedestal. It was dedicated in October 1886.

When will someone return from France with a work of social observation as piercing as the one Alexis de Tocqueville produced after his trip to the States in the 1830s?  De Tocqueville was dispatched to report on American prisons and came back with a report on the American character. He is especially beloved of American politicians, who famously love to quote him. President Bill Clinton was partial to the line, “America is great because she is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, she will cease to be great.” In keeping with the grand tradition of quoting De Tocqueville, De Tocqueville never actually wrote that.

What would the United States be like if they spoke French in Omaha? The question is moot, because the trans-continental United States would probably not exist if Thomas Jefferson had not bought the entire middle bit from Napoleon in 1803, in what the Library of Congress modestly refers to as “the greatest real estate deal in history”. Jefferson got everything from the Mississippi River to the Rocky Mountains for a cool $15m (about $.04/acre), doubling the size of the young country and decisively opening the west. Napoleon was the ultimate motivated seller — he had a war to wage against Britain. To this day you can hear Creole French in New Orleans, although not in St Louis, which is named, of course, for the crusading French king.

The French fought in the Continental army alongside the colonies against the British. In turn, the Americans were early supporters of the first French republic. A Frenchman drew the plan for America’s capital city. An American helped draft the French Declaration of Rights. The French gave America Rousseau and Lafayette. The Americans gave France the Thomases Paine and Jefferson. There’s a reason that Obama’s first stop with Hollande was a visit to Monticello, Jefferson’s estate in Virginia.
