Ingres Then and Now is an innovative study of one of the bestknown Frenchartists of the nineteenth century Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres. Adam Rifkinreevaluates Ingres work in the context of a variety of literary musical andvisual cultures which are normally seen as alien to him.Rifkin offers insightful interpretations of Ingres early work and follows theartists image in the popular cultures of the twentieth century. ApproachingIngres paintings as symptomatic of the commodity cultures of nineteenthcentury Paris he draws the artist away from his familiar association with theAcademy and the Salon and instead situates Ingres in the world of the ParisianArcades. Finally the book examines Ingres importance for the great French artcritic Jean Cassou and makes a bold contemporary gay appropriation of hiswork.Ingres Then and Now transforms the popular image we have of Ingres. Rifkinargues that the figure of the artist is neither fixed in time or placethereis neither an essential man named Ingres nor a singular body of his workbutrather is an effect of many complex and overlapping historical forces. Lavishlyillustrated with over 50 images this compelling study will transform ourunderstanding of Ingres and his cultural impact. «
