Abstract

Abstract Deemed “ridiculous dolls” by Johann Joachim Winckelmann, porcelain figurines have long resided on the outskirts of art history. The exceptional case of biscuit porcelain figurines, invented in France in the 1750s, has been folded into an anachronistic story of stylistic change. This essay disentangles the history of porcelain figurines from the history of Neoclassicism. Through a close reading of the abbé Jean-Bernard Le Blanc’s (1707–1781) art criticism and analysis of a 1761 set of reproductive prints, it shows that biscuit figurines designed by the quintessentially rococo painter François Boucher defied assumptions about porcelain’s irreducible materiality, complicating fundamental eighteenth-century ideas about authorship.

鲍彻精神：作家、发明与瓷器的力量

摘要被Johann Joachim Winckelmann认为是“荒谬的玩偶”，瓷雕像长期以来一直处于艺术史的边缘。17世纪50年代在法国发明的饼干瓷雕像已经被折叠成一个风格变化的不合时宜的故事。本文将瓷人的历史与新古典主义的历史割裂开来。通过仔细阅读勒布朗克（Jean-Bernard Le Blanc）神父（1707-1781）对1761年一套复制版画的艺术批评和分析，它表明，由典型的洛可可派画家弗朗索瓦·布彻（François Boucher）设计的饼干雕像违背了关于瓷器不可简化的物质性的假设，使八世纪关于作者的基本思想复杂化。
