- Abstract (en)
- Considers in detail Diderot's criticism of Boucher, concluding that Diderot's opinions were not representative of the general view of Boucher in his time. Claims that "Boucher elicits in Diderot a fear and loathing of the feminine" and that Boucher represented an artistic modernity and singularity that Diderot found distressing. Places Boucher in the context of an age discovering new sensibilities of sexuality and points out that Boucher was closer to fellow artists such as Rousseau than has sometimes been thought.
