Watteau and the Cultural Politics of Eighteenth-Century France
Plax, Julie Anne (University of Arizona)
Julie-Anne Plax examines several categories of Watteau's paintings - theatrical, military, fêtes, and the art dealer. Arguing that Watteau consistently applied coherent strategies of representation aimed at subverting high art, in this 2000 book she shows how his paintings toyed ironically with conventions and genres.
