Book Description
Unlike much of the writing on rococo artists of the eighteenth century, Jean-Marc Nattier's (1685-1766) work has remained largely understudied. The French painter, who was notably associated with portraiture of the first half of the century, has historically been seen as the creator of simple mythological creations for the elite women of Louis XV's court. Although this may be the case, he did in fact contribute to a surge in portraiture that followed the tradition of allegorical styles of the past. Nattier was known for this style, artfully turning his sitters into Greek and Roman gods or goddesses placed within the theatrical worlds of mythological settings. This led to his longstanding position as one the leading portraitists within the world of the Parisian high society and court--a place where one's image and representation to the public were not always meant to stay true to reality. Much like the allegorical depictions of Louis XIV and XV as Apollo, or Madame de Pompadour as Venus, these characteristics would be transferred from mythology and applied to reality through images. The creation of an identity and image of oneself was a critical component of eighteenth-century French society. Influence from courtly deportment, theatre, and class differentiation, produced ideal situations of class ambiguity that were continually dealt with in all social settings. I would propose that Jean-Marc Nattier's oeuvre served as the grounds by which we might consider how aristocratic traditions in portraiture were transferred from the elite to the merchant class.

Book Description
In The Portrait Bust and French Cultural Politics in the Eighteenth Century, Ronit Milano probes the rich and complex aesthetic and intellectual charge of a remarkably concise art form, and explores its role as a powerful agent of epistemological change during one of the most seismic moments in French history. The pre-Revolutionary portrait bust was inextricably tied to the formation of modern selfhood and to the construction of individual identity during the Enlightenment, while positioning both sitters and viewers as part of a collective of individuals who together formed French society. In analyzing the contribution of the portrait bust to the construction of interiority and the formulation of new gender roles and political ideals, this book touches upon a set of concerns that constitute the very core of our modernity.

Book Description
The Sister Chapel (1974-78) was an important collaborative installation that materialized at the height of the women?s art movement. Conceived as a nonhierarchical, secular commemoration of female role models, The Sister Chapel consisted of an eighteen-foot abstract ceiling that hung above a circular arrangement of eleven monumental canvases, each depicting the standing figure of a heroic woman. The choice of subject was left entirely to the creator of each work. As a result, the paintings formed a visually cohesive group without compromising the individuality of the artists. Contemporary and historical women, deities, and conceptual figures were portrayed by distinguished New York painters-Alice Neel, May Stevens, and Sylvia Sleigh-as well as their accomplished but less prominent colleagues. Among the role models depicted were Artemisia Gentileschi, Frida Kahlo, Betty Friedan, Joan of Arc, and a female incarnation of God. Although last exhibited in 1980, The Sister Chapel has lingered in the minds of art historians who continue to note its significance as an exemplar of feminist collaboration. Based on previously-unpublished archival materials and featuring dozens of rarely-seen works of art, this comprehensive study details the fascinating history of The Sister Chapel, its constituent paintings, and its ambitious creators.
