description: The second in the Revisions series presents Gilles Deleuze's analysis of the relationship between the painter and his model as eroticised 'merchandise' within consumer society. Despite Fromanger's subject matter--he represents a politicised, post May 68 Paris--his paintings are given titles which refer only to paint colours. These colours, too, according to Deleuze, become part of the 'simulacra' of exchange. Michel Foucault's text re-examines the painting versus photography debate from ingres to the era of hyper-realism. Adrian Rifkin's critical introduction situates these texts and images historically while relating them to Fromanger's painting today.
