Adrian Rifkin is Professor of Visual Culture and Media at Middlesex University. He is the author of Street Noises: Parisian Pleasure 1900-1940 (1993).
"This is an unusually fine and intelligent study, which will prove
compelling to anyone thinking about the nature of modern art and
the situation of the modern artist in 19th and 20th century France.
Rifkin offers the reader an array of brilliant and unexpected
insights--at times focused on Ingres, at others opening out onto
new ways of thinking about modernity and the fabric of modern
artistic culture."
-Alex Potts, University of Reading
