Desire and Excess: The Nineteenth-Century Culture of Art
Jonah Siegel
Offering a look at the creative power of institutions, this book explores the rise of the modern idea of the artist in the 19th century, a period that also witnessed the emergence of the museum and the professional critic. Drawing upon neoclassical art and theory, it aims to bring to life the artistic passions and anxieties of an entire era.
