Reconsidering Gérôme
Edited by Scott Allan and Mary Morton

The essays written for this volume examine the work of Jean-Léon Gérôme (1824–1904) in light of a renewed interest in the artist. Because of the shifting popular and critical tastes that followed the emergence of Impressionism and Modernism, art historians tended to bypass his work for much of the twentieth century. The essays published here reflect a variety of fresh new perspectives as well as a critical counterpoint to standard textbook treatments of Gérôme's career. ($27.50 paperback)
