Through a close reading of three monumental works of art& mdash;Jacques-Louis David's The Tennis Court Oath (1791), James Ensor's Christ's Entry into Brussels in 1889 (1888), and Alfredo Jaar's They Loved It So Much, the Revolution (1989)& mdash;Stefan Jonsson launches a unique investigation into an age-old dilemma: How do artists fashion a truthful representation of "the people"? Addressing, respectively, The French Revolution of 1789, Belgium's proletarian messianism in the 1880s, and Eastern Europe's Velvet Revolutions of 1989, these works depict not only an alternative view of history, Jonsson argues, but capture the very essence of democracy.
