From the Back Cover

"In this long-anticipated book, Lajer-Burcharth looks more closely and originally at the very paint of masterpieces by Boucher, Chardin, and Fragonard than anyone may ever have done before. Unexpectedly extending the material turn to the medium we have come to take for granted, oil paint, Lajer-Burcharth convinces us that all great paintings contain deep meanings within their forms. If this book doesn't dispel the aura of frivolity called rococo around three great artists, nothing will."--Anne Higonnet, Barnard College, Columbia University, author of A Museum of One's Own: Private Collecting, Public Gift

"Brilliantly imaginative and provocative, The Painter's Touch is a hugely impressive book that radically recasts our idea of making selves and things, and how they are interformed, at a critical moment of Western modernity."--Satish Padiyar, author of Chains: David, Canova, and the Fall of the Public Hero in Postrevolutionary France

Ewa Lajer-Burcharth is the William Dorr Boardman Professor of Fine Arts at Harvard University. Her books include Chardin Material and Necklines: The Art of Jacques-Louis David after the Terror.
