The meaning of a painted portrait and even its subject may be far
more complex than expected, Tamar Garb reveals in this book. She
charts for the first time the history of French female portraiture
from its heyday in the early nineteenth century to its demise in
the early twentieth century, showing how these paintings illuminate
evolving social attitudes and aesthetic concerns in France over the
course of the century. The author builds the discussion around six
canonic works by Ingres, Manet, Cassatt, Cezanne, Picasso, and
Matisse, beginning with Ingres's idealized portrait of Mme de
Sennones and ending with Matisse's elegiac last portrait of his
wife. During the hundred years that separate these works, the
female portrait went from being the ideal genre for the expression
of painting's capacity to describe and embellish "nature," to the
prime locus of its refusal to do so. Picasso's Cubism, and
specifically "Ma Jolie," provides the fulcrum of this shift.
