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.
