Abstract (en)

Review of the exhibition Jean-Antoine Houdon: sculptor of the enlightenment (Washington, DC, National Gallery, to 7 Sept 2003; Los Angeles, J. Paul Getty Museum, 4 Nov 2003-25 Jan 2004; Versailles, Musée domaine national du château de Versailles, 1 Mar-30 May 2004). The exhibition highlighted patronage and Houdon's sculptural practice; although best known for his portrait busts, the rest of Houdon's oeuvre, in a range of materials, was also represented. The accompanying catalogue is also discussed.
