Staging Empire : Napoleon, Ingres, And David
Attribution
Todd Porterfield and Susan L. SiegfriedPublication Details
BookPennsylvania State University Press2006Links
Description
Staging Empire focuses on two landmark paintings that celebrated Napoleon’s coronation: Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres’s Napoleon I on His Imperial Throne (1806) and Jacques-Louis David’s Le Sacre (1805-7). Coronation pictures may seem to be all about the past, but they were produced to guarantee a future of empire whose military, media, and geopolitical practices are still with us today. Traditionally accepted as a document of the coronation of Napoleon and Josephine, Le Sacre is instead shown to be the most important barometer of the Empire’s propagandistic strategies.

Remaking Beijing : Tiananmen Square And The Creation Of A Political Space
Attribution
Wu HungPublication Details
BookUniversity of Chicago Press2005Links
Description
Remaking Beijing considers the square’s transformation from a restricted imperial domain into a public arena for political expression, from an epic symbol of socialism into a holy relic of the Maoist regime, and from an official and monumental complex into a site for unofficial and antigovernment demonstrations. Wu Hung also explores how Tiananmen Square has become a touchstone for official art in modern China?as the site for Mao’s monumental portrait, as the location of museums narrating revolutionary history, and as the grounds for extravagant National Day parades celebrating the revolutionary masses.
