The Phaidon Ingres
Faison Jr., S. Lane | October 16, 1954 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the book "The Paintings of J.A.D Ingres," by the author Georges Wildenstein. The present volume as a whole does not measure up to the standard previously set in these monographs. Its one hundred and twenty glossy pages are less adequate than at first they appear to be. Value contrasts have been forced, with a consequent loss in halftone ranges. For Ingres this means a fatal diminution of the plastic power of his taut forms. Although the catalogue of Ingres work in oil is an admirably professional job, it has its limitations.
