Förlagets beskrivning
This book is a reassessment of the role of Ingres studies in the writing of
nineteenth-century art history. The title Fingering Ingres refers to a remark
of Jean Cassou, the French art critic, political militant and founding director
of the Musee National d'Art Moderne, in which he wrote of Ingres' 'caressing'
his materials with the tip of his 'finger-nail'. The volume pays tribute to
Ingres' historiographical enigma in bringing together a set of essays that
scratch at and perhaps puncture the surface of his received framings. Ranging from the scrupulous study of Ingres' incapacity to allow himself a
finished oeuvre, to the artificial construction of his conflict with Delacroix,
to a radical re-thinking of his role in cultural modernity, the essays pick out
the textures of a crucial mytheme of nineteenth-century French art. Combining
scholarship from different generations of the contemporary critical, social and
semiotic histories of art,Fingering Ingres offers a freshly virtuoso and
deconstructive approach to the art-historical genre of the artist's
monograph. The volume pays tribute to Ingres' historiographical enigma. The essays
range from the scrupulous study of Ingres' incapacity to allow himself a
finished oeuvre, to the artificial construction of his conflict with Delacroix,
to a radical re-thinking of his role in cultural modernity.
