Professor Andrew Shelton Publishes Article in Art History
Professor Andrew Shelton recently published a new article in the journal Art History (vol. 44, issue 1) called “Ingres, Painter of Men.” The essay makes a case for the historical importance and cultural and psychic complexity of Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres's representations of men, which have tended to be neglected in favor of the painter's much more celebrated and more thoroughly scrutinized representations of women. It focuses on an unfinished portrait of the artist's oldest and dearest friend, Jean-Pierre-François Gilibert.
