Focusing on the language of food and consumption as they were used by such prominent critics as Baudelaire and Zola, she writes new histories for familiar works by Manet, Monet, Caillebotte, and Pissarro and creates fresh possibilities for experiencing and interpreting them. Examining the culinary metaphors that the most influential critics used to express their attraction or disgust toward painting, Deutsch rethinks French modern-life painting in relation to the visceral reactions that these works evoked in their earliest publics. Writers posed viewing as analogous to ingestion and used comparisons to food to describe the appearance of paint and the painter?s process. The food metaphors they chose were aligned with specific female types, such as red meat for sexualized female flesh, confections for fashionably made-up women, and hearty vegetables for agricultural laborers. These culinary figures of speech, Deutsch argues, provide important insights into both the fabrication of the feminine and the construction of masculinity in nineteenth-century France. Consuming Painting exposes the social politics at stake in the deeply gendered metaphors of sense and sensation.Original and convincing, Consuming Painting upends traditional narratives of the sensory reception of modern painting. This trailblazing book is essential reading for specialists in nineteenth-century art and criticism, gender studies, and modernism. 606 $aArt criticism$zFrance$zParis$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aImpressionism (Art)$zFrance$zParis 606 $aMetaphor in art criticism$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aPainting, French$zFrance$zParis$y19th century 606 $aART / History / Modern (late 19th Century to 1945)$2bisacsh 615 0$aArt criticism$xHistory 615 0$aImpressionism (Art) 615 0$aMetaphor in art criticism$xHistory 615 0$aPainting, French 615 7$aART / History / Modern (late 19th Century to 1945). 676 $a759.409/034 700 $aDeutsch$b Allison, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01827356 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911009166503321 996 $aConsuming Painting$94395524 997 $aUNINA
