Drawing on Freudian theories of sexuality and Kant's conception of
the beautiful, French art historian Hubert Damisch considers
artists as diverse as Raphael, Picasso, Watteau, and Manet to
demonstrate that beauty has always been connected to ideas of
sexual difference and pleasure. Damisch's tale begins with the
judgment of Paris, in which Paris awards Venus the golden apple and
thus forever links beauty with desire. The casting of this decision
as a mistake--in which desire is rewarded over wisdom and
strength--is then linked to theories of the unconscious and
psychological drives. In his quest for an exposition of the
beautiful in its relation to visual pleasure, Damisch employs what
he terms "analytic iconology," following the revisions and
repetitions of the motif of the judgment through art history,
philosophy, aesthetics, and psychoanalysis. This translation brings
an important figure of the French art historical tradition to
Anglo-American audiences.
