Summary "Masters in Art, Part 79, Volume 7, July, 1906: Ingres by Ingres et al." is an illustrated monograph from a series dedicated to renowned artists, composed in the early 20th century. This publication centers on the influential French painter Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, discussing his life and artistic achievements while showcasing his iconic works. The likely topic of the book delves into Ingres' unique style, particularly his characteristics of form, line, and his departures from the conventions of his time. The monograph is a detailed exploration of Ingres' artistic journey, beginning with his early influences and education, particularly under the tutelage of Jacques-Louis David. It outlines notable works such as "OEdipus and the Sphinx," "La Source," and "The Apotheosis of Homer," alongside critiques from contemporaries, which highlight the tension between Ingres' classicist approach and the rising romanticism led by artists like Eugène Delacroix. The text examines the interplay of form and color in Ingres' paintings, the importance of drawing in his artistic philosophy, as well as his enduring legacy within the realm of 19th-century art. Overall, this publication serves as both an admiration of Ingres' talent and a critical study of his contributions to the evolution of Western art. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
