Ingres and his Critics

Viac o knihe

Focusing on the period from Ingres' 1834 renunciation of the Salon to his influential 1855 retrospective, this book explores his critical writing and journalism within the dynamic mid-nineteenth century Paris art scene. It highlights how Ingres navigated his career by balancing his Academy connections with innovative presentation methods, such as single-artist exhibitions and illustrated monographs, ultimately distancing himself from the contentious artistic establishment of the time.
