   The title 'Fingering Ingres' refers to a remark of Jean Cassou, the French art critic, political militant and founding director of the Musee National d'Art Moderne, in which he wrote of Ingres' 'caressing' his materials with the tip of his 'finger-nail'. The volume pays tribute to Ingres' historiographical enigma in bringing together a set of essays that scratch at and perhaps puncture the surface of his received framings. Ranging from the scrupulous study of Ingres' incapacity to allow himself a finished oeuvre for engraving or the artificial construction of his conflict with Delacroix or his status as a History painter to a radical re-thinking of his role in cultural modernity, whether as a role-model for Man Ray or art students of our own time, the essays pick out the textures of a crucial mytheme of nineteenth-century French art.
