Ingres: Beauty So Close to Horror
A recent Ingres exhibition at the Louvre has prompted several new publications. Among them are the comprehensive "Ingres, regards croisés" by Jean-Pierre Cuzin and Dimitri Salmon (Mengès-RMN), the artist's writings and statements on art prefaced by Manuel Jover with a critical anthology (Hermann), and the surprising "Ingres érotique" by Stéphane Guégan (Flammarion). However, none of these scholarly books reveal what Michel Grangeon's keen eye has detected in Ingres's work, as disclosed in the accompanying article.
