Why did conservative critics disdain Liebermann's interest in French Realism?

  • They associated it with Jewish cosmopolitanism

  • They thought it was detrimental to German art

  • They considered it blasphemous

  • They found it lacking in technical skill

Answer

Liebermann's interest in French Realism was disdained by conservative critics because they associated it with Jewish cosmopolitanism. This is because French Realism was seen as a radical and subversive art movement that challenged traditional values and social norms. It was also seen as being associated with the emerging Jewish bourgeoisie, who were seen as being a threat to the traditional social order.
