(distinction)\|order]] of France established on 2 May 1957 by the [[Ministry of Culture (France)\|Minister of Culture]]. Its supplementary status to the {{lang\|fr\|[[Ordre national du Mérite]]}} was confirmed by [[President of France\|President]] [[Charles de Gaulle]] in 1963. Its purpose is the recognition of significant contributions to the arts, literature, or the propagation of these fields. French recipients must be at least 30 years old, must respect French civil law, and must have "significantly contributed to the enrichment of the French cultural inheritance", according to French government guidelines. Its origin is attributed to the [[Order of Saint Michael]] (established 1 August 1469), as acknowledged by French government sources.<ref name="acte2"/><ref name="archives">[http://www.archivesdefrance.culture.gouv.fr/action-culturelle/celebrations-nationales/2007/arts/creation-de-l-ordre-des-arts-et-des-lettres Archives de France]{{webarchive\|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130416034749/http://www.archivesdefrance.culture.gouv.fr/action-culturelle/celebrations-nationales/2007/arts/creation-de-l-ordre-des-arts-et-des-lettres \|date=2013-04-16 }}</ref><ref name="memodoc">[http://www.memodoc.fr/articles-num-57.html Mémodoc]</ref> Members are not, however, limited to French nationals, nor to those who work in France or in French. Recipients have included, for instance, the [[Austrian]] [[film director]] [[Michael Haneke]] and the [[Chinese literature\|Chinese]] writer [[Han Shaogong]]. Recipients from outside France may be allowed into the Order "without condition of age". ==Background== ~~The Order has three grades, as follows:~~ To be considered for the award, French government guidelines stipulate that citizens of France must be at least thirty years old, respect French civil law, and must have "significantly contributed to the enrichment of the French cultural inheritance". ''Commandeur'' (Commander) - wears the badge on a necklet, up to 20 recipients a year; ''Officier'' (Officer) - wears the badge on a ribbon with [[rosette (decoration)\|rosette]] on the left chest, up to 60 recipients a year; ''Chevalier'' (Knight) - wears the badge on a ribbon on the left chest, up to 200 recipients a year. Membership is not, however, limited to French nationals; recipients include numerous foreign luminaries. Foreign recipients are admitted into the Order "without condition of age". The ''badge'' of the Order is an eight-armed, green-enamelled "asterisk", in [[gilt]] for commanders and officers, in silver for knights; the obverse central disc has the letters "A" and "L" on a white enamelled background, surrounded by a golden ring bearing the words "République Française" (Republic of France}. The reverse central disc features the head of [[Marianne]] on a golden background, surrounded by a golden ring bearing the words "Ordre des Arts et des Lettres". The commander's badge is topped by a gilt twisted ring. The Order has three grades: ~~The ''ribbon'' of the Order is green with four white stripes.~~ '''{{lang\|fr\|Commandeur}}''' (Commander) — medallion worn on a [[necklet]]; up to 20 recipients a year * '''{{lang\|fr\|Officier}}''' (Officer) — medallion worn on a ribbon with [[rosette (decoration)\|rosette]] on left breast; up to 60 recipients a year * '''{{lang\|fr\|Chevalier}}''' (Knight) — medallion worn on a [[ribbon]] on left breast; up to 200 recipients a year The {{lang\|fr\|médaille}} (medallion) of the Order is an eight-pointed, green-enameled [[asterisk]], in [[gilding\|gilt]] for Commanders and Officers and in silver for Knights; the obverse central disc has the letters "A" and "L" on a white-enameled background, surrounded by a golden ring emblazoned with the phrase {{lang\|fr\|République Française}}. The reverse central disc features the head of [[Marianne]] on a golden background, surrounded by a golden ring bearing the words {{lang\|fr\|Ordre des Arts et des Lettres}}. The Commander's badge is topped by a gilt twisted ring. ~~Non-French recipients include:~~ [[John Coolidge Adams]] [[Paul Anka]] [[Lisa Appignanesi]] [[David Bowie]] [[Louis Cha]] [[Michael Cimino]] [[Tony Curtis]] [[Celine Dion\|Céline Dion]] [[Leonardo DiCaprio]] [[Péter Esterházy]] [[William Faulkner]] [[Allen Ginsberg]] [[Michael Haneke]] [[James Joyce]] [[Jessye Norman]] [[Oscar Peterson]] [[Jackson Pollock]] [[Robert Redford]] [[Diana Ross]] [[John Ralston Saul]] [[Danielle Steel]] [[Meryl Streep]] [[Han Shaogong]] [[Uma Thurman]] [[Elfi von Dassanowsky]] [[Bruce Willis]] [[Kazuo Ishiguro]] [[Gamal Al-Ghitani]] The ribbon of the Order is green with four white stripes. ~~[[Category:French literary awards\|Ordre des Arts et des Lettres]]~~ ~~[[Category:Civil decorations of France]]~~ ~~[[Category:Orders and decorations\|Arts]]~~ ==Members of the Order== ~~[[es:Caballero de la Orden de las Artes y Letras]]~~ {{main\|List of members of the Order of Arts and Letters}} ~~[[fr:Ordre des Arts et des Lettres]]~~ [[File:Ray Bradbury 2009.jpg\|thumb\|upright\|[[Ray Bradbury]] wearing the Commander's badge in 2009]] According to the statutes of the Order, French citizens must wait a minimum of 5 years before they are eligible to be upgraded from {{lang\|fr\|Chevalier}} to {{lang\|fr\|Officier}}, or {{lang\|fr\|Officier}} to {{lang\|fr\|Commandeur}}, and must have displayed additional meritorious deeds than just those that originally made them a {{lang\|fr\|Chevalier}}. However, in the statutes, there is a clause saying "{{lang\|fr\|Les Officiers et les Commandeurs de la Légion d'honneur peuvent être directement promus à un grade équivalent dans l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres}}". (Translation: "The officers and commanders of the Legion of Honour can be promoted directly to an equivalent grade in the Order of Arts and Letters".) This means that if someone were to be made {{lang\|fr\|Officier}} of the [[Legion of Honour]], then the next year, that person could be directly made {{lang\|fr\|Officier}} of the Order of Arts and Letters and bypass a nomination as a knight and the five-year rule. ==See also== * [[Ribbons of the French military and civil awards]] * {{lang\|fr\|[[Ordre des arts et des lettres du Québec]]}}, a Quebec order based in part on the {{lang\|fr\|Ordre des Arts et des Lettres}} == References == {{Reflist}} == External links == {{Commons category}} * {{cite web \|title=Nominations dans l'Ordre des Arts et Lettres \|url=http://www.culture.gouv.fr/culture/artsetlettres \|publisher=[[Ministry of Culture (France)]] \|year=2007 \|access-date=6 February 2009 \|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090210084215/http://www.culture.gouv.fr/culture/artsetlettres/ \|archive-date=10 February 2009 \|url-status=dead \|language=fr }} {{French medals}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Ordre Des Arts Et Des Lettres}} [[Category:Awards established in 1957]] [[Category:1957 establishments in France]] [[Category:Civil awards and decorations of France]] [[Category:Recipients of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres\| ]] [[Category:Orders of merit]]
