"While some of the art criticism addressed in Consuming Painting is well known to scholars of Impressionism, Deutsch presents it in a completely new way, showing how art criticism addressed-and often highlighted-the haptic, gustatory, and olfactory aspects of paintings. A smart and promising book."-Mary Hunter, author of The Face of Medicine: Visualising Medical Masculinities in Late Nineteenth-Century Paris "Consuming Painting offers an impressive new take on the history of late nineteenth-century French art, one that makes clear for the first time the sensorial range in the historical reception of modern painting. In her reevaluation and retranslation of art criticism, combined with her highly persuasive descriptions of a range of paintings, Deutsch shows the sustained discourse of desire and disgust built into the deeply gendered metaphorics of painting as culinary consumption."-Marnin Young, author of Realism in the Age of Impressionism: Painting and the Politics of Time
