Le monochrome - le carré blanc sur fond blanc - est un objet ambigu. Représentation d'une absence de représentation, il est l'invisible rendu visible. Il semble donner accès à la quintessence de la vérité picturale : une icône. Mélancolique, il fait apparaître la dérision d'une peinture malade et à bout de souffle : les humoristes rient de ces tableaux qui représentent des jeunes filles chlorotiques sur fond de neige... Entre l'absolu et le nihilisme, le genre déploie ses possibilités immenses et paradoxales : couleurs, tailles, matières font la richesse du monochrome. Denys Riout cartographie ce territoire en procédant non pas chronologiquement mais logiquement : en remontant d'Yves Klein jusqu'aux précurseurs ironiques du XIXe siècle, il montre que l'image n'est pas l'autre du discours, mais un mode d'existence du savoir.

François Boucher (1703?1770) has suffered a curious fate: to have been so identified with the French Rococo as to have lost his visibility as an artist in his own right. Rethinking Boucher reclaims the artist's individuality, revealing not only the diversity of his talents but also the variety of visual and intellectual traditions with which he engaged. In part one, "The Various Boucher," Melissa Hyde, Colin Bailey, and Martin Schieder examine the artist's identity in relation to his portraits and self-portraits, his ingenious genre scenes, and his overlooked religious paintings. In part two, "The Unexpected Boucher," Katie Scott, Mark Ledbury, and Mary D. Sheriff focus on the network of social and cultural contexts in which the artist functioned, including the commercial print market, the theaters of Paris, and the contemporary textual explorations of the exotic. In the final part, "The Enlightened Boucher," René Démoris, Ewa Lajer-Burcharth, and Thomas M. Kavanagh discuss Boucher's work as a vehicle for Enlightenment visions of the body, whether conjured by Denis Diderot and Jean-Jacques Rousseau or Madame de Pompadour?Boucher's most famous patron
