Author: Hertel, Christiane

ISBN: 9780271037370
Description: University Park: Pennsylvania State University Press, 2011. 26cm., hardcover, 270pp., 27 color, 89 b&w illus. Summary: In Pygmalion in Bavaria, Christiane Hertel introduces the sculptor Ignaz Günther in his immediate context of Bavarian Rococo art and Counter-Reformation religious visual culture. At the same time, she considers the extraordinary aesthetic appeal of Günther’s oeuvre in the context of eighteenth-century art theory that focuses on sculpture and the creative paradigm of Pygmalion. Through such interweaving of contexts and discourses, she offers insights into how Rococo art’s own critical dimension positions it against the Enlightenment and introduces a particular notion of subjectivity.
