dbpedia-owl:abstract
  • Paul-Armand Silvestre war ein französischer Schriftsteller und Literaturkritiker. Silvestre studierte an der École polytechnique mit der Absicht, später in der Armee Karriere zu machen. Dieses Studium konnte er 1859 abschließen, doch seine Laufbahn als Offizier ging nicht in Erfüllung. 1870 bekam er eine Anstellung im Finanzministerium und konnte dort derart erfolgreich reüssieren, dass er 1896 in die Ehrenlegion aufgenommen wurde. Im gleichen Jahr berief man Silvestre zum „Inspecteur des Beaux-Arts“. Zu dieser Zeit war er bereits mit einigen namhaften Vertretern der Parnassiens befreundet. Spätestens als Alphonse Lemerre ihn zur Mitarbeit an der später berühmt gewordenen Anthologie Le Parnasse contemporain aufforderte, war er einer von diesen. Acht Wochen vor seinem 64. Geburtstag starb Paul-Armand Silvestre nach kurzer Krankheit am 19. Februar 1901 in Toulouse.

He studied at the École polytechnique with the intention of entering the army, but in 1870 he entered the department of finance. He had a successful official career, was decorated with the Legion of Honour in 1886, and in 1892 was made inspector of fine arts. Armand Silvestre made his entry into literature as a poet, and was reckoned among the Parnassians. His volumes of verse include: Rimes neuves et vieilles (1866), to which George Sand wrote a preface Les Renaissances (1870) La Chanson des heures (1878) Le Chemin des étoiles (1885), etc. The poet was also a contributor to Gil Blas and other Parisian journals, distinguishing himself by the licence he permitted himself. To these "absences" from poetry, as Henri Chantavoine calls them, belong the seven volumes of La Vie pour rire (1881-1883), Contes pantagruéliques et galants (1884), Le Livre des joyeusetés (1884), Gauloiseries nouvelles (1888), &c. For the stage he wrote in many different manners: Sapho (1881), a drama Henry VIII (1883), with Léonce Detroyat, music by Saint-Saëns; and the Drames sacres (1893), religious pictures after 14th- and 15th-century Italian painters, with music by Gounod. An account of his varied and somewhat incongruous production is hardly complete without mention of his art criticism. Le Nu au Salon (1888-1892), in five volumes, with numerous illustrations, was followed by other volumes of the same type. He died at Toulouse on the 19th of February 1901.
