Watteau and the Cultural Politics of Eighteenth-Century France Book

In Watteau and the Cultural Politics of Eighteenth-Century France, Julie-Anne Plax engages in an interdisciplinary examination of several categories of Watteau's paintings theatrical, military, fetes, and the art dealer. Arguing that Watteau consistently applied coherent strategies of representation aimed at subverting high art, she shows how his paintings toyed ironically with conventions and genres and confounded traditional categories. Plax connects these strategies to broader cultural themes and political issues that Watteau's art addressed throughout his career, thereby revealing the substantial unity of his oeuvre.Read More
