It considers flesh and skin in art theory, image making and medical discourse in seventeenth to nineteenth-century France. Describing a gradual shift between the early modern and the modern period, it argues that what artists made when imitating human nakedness was not always the same. Initially understood in terms of the body's substance, of flesh tones and body colour, it became increasingly a matter of skin, skin colour and surfaces. Each chapter is dedicated to a different notion of skin and its colour, from flesh tones via a membrane imbued with nervous energy to hermetic borderline. Looking in particular at works by Fragonard, David, Girodet, Benoist and Ingres, the focus is on portraits, as facial skin is a special arena for testing painterly skills and a site where the body and the image become equally expressive.--$cSource other than Library of Congress. 410 0$aRethinking art's histories. 606 $aSkin$xPsychological aspects$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01120112 606 $aSkin in art$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01120144 606 $aHuman skin color in art$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00963469 606 $aArt, French$xThemes, motives$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00816297 606 $aAnatomy, Artistic$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00808452 606 $aAnatomy, Artistic 606 $aArt, French$xThemes, motives 606 $aSkin$xPsychological aspects 606 $aHuman skin color in art 606 $aSkin in art 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSkin$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aSkin in art. 615 0$aHuman skin color in art. 615 0$aArt, French$xThemes, motives. 615 0$aAnatomy, Artistic. 615 0$aAnatomy, Artistic. 615 0$aArt, French$xThemes, motives. 615 0$aSkin$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aHuman skin color in art. 615 0$aSkin in art. 676 $a709.944 700 $aFend$b Mechthild$01026809 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910480352003321 996 $aFleshing out surfaces$92441932 997 $aUNINA LEADER 00876nam a22002411i 4500 001 991003903449707536 005 20030926094657.0 008 031111s1985 gw |||||||||||||||||ger 035 $ab12490659-39ule_inst 035 $aARCHE-052392$9ExL 040 $aDip.to Lingue$bita$cA.t.i.
