Necklines - The Art of Jacques-Louis David after the Terror

Lajer-Burcharth, Eva
1999 (First Edition). Yale University Press , New Haven

This original book examines the French artist David and his personal crises in the context of the larger cultural and social formations emerging in France after the Reign of Terror in the late 1700's. It offers a fascinating new perspective on both his paintings and on French artistic culture and is in fact a feminist work on the highest level: incisive, provocative, complex, and convincing. Well illustrated with both black and white and colour photographs.
