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.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e—Marnin Young,author of \u003ci\u003eRealism in the Age of Impressionism: Painting and the Politics of Time\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“While some of the art criticism addressed in \u003ci\u003eConsuming Painting\u003c\/i\u003e 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.

The writers Deutsch addresses not only undermined their ocular-centric authority but also eroded the masculine perspective their texts championed. As a result, Deutsch’s compelling revisionist account of Impressionism offers provocative readings of art, literature, and criticism and contributes to the scholarship on the gendered politics of visual culture.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e—Christa DiMarco \u003ci\u003eCAA.Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Contributing to the existing scholarship on the feminization of Impressionism, Deutsch reconstructs the gendering of these food-based references as female for being rooted in bodily experience, fashion, and consumption.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e—A.
