The Judgment of Paris Paperback - 1996 - 1st Edition
by Hubert Damisch
From the rear cover
Drawings on Freudian theories of sexuality and Kant's conception of the beautiful, French art historian Hubert Damisch considers artist as diverse as Raphael, Picasso, Watteau, and Manet to demonstrate that beauty has always been connected to ideas of sexual difference and pleasure. Damisch's tale begins with the judgment of Paris, in which Paris awards Venus the golden apple and thus forever links beauty with desire. The casting of this decision as a mistake-in which desire is rewarded over wisdom and strength-is then linked to theories of the unconscious and psychological drives. In his quest for an exposition of the beautiful in its relation to visual pleasure, Damisch employs what he terms 'analytic iconology' following the revisions and reptitions of the motif of the judgment through art history, philosophy, aesthetics, and psychoanalysis. This translation brings an important figure of the French art historical tradition to Angelo-American audiences.
