Summary |
"This book examines the critical writing and journalistic reportage on Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, from the time of his renunciation of the Salon in 1834 until his large retrospective at the 1855 Universal Exposition. This massive body of writing demonstrates how the artist negotiated the contradictory forces dominating the rapidly evolving art world of mid-nineteenth-century Paris. While continuing to enjoy the benefits of his affiliation with the Academy, Ingres employed certain modes of presentation - most notably the single-artist exhibition and illustrated monograph - that effectively distanced his work and public persona from the increasingly embattled world of artistic officialdom, implicating them instead in the burgeoning modernist ideal of self-generating creative genius |
|
The resulting fluctuation in Ingres's critical profile - between imperious chef d'ecole and persecuted artiste maudit - provides a new context in which to consider the formal qualities of his work, which likewise vacillate between academic banality and modernist bizzarerie."--BOOK JACKET |
