An exploration of the fascinating parallels and differences between
Picasso's Woman with a Book and Ingres's Madame Moitessier This
publication examines, in detail, two extraordinary interrelated
works: Picasso's Woman with a Book (1932) and Ingres's Madame
Moitessier (1844-56). Each painting is explored in depth,
illuminating the parallels and differences between the artists'
techniques and creative ambitions. The first essay tells the story
of the twelve-year gestation of Ingres's Madame Moitessier,
focusing on the role of drawings in the elaboration of the
composition, and of the sitter herself in determining how she was
to be presented. The second essay traces the development of
Picasso's Woman with a Book, among the most celebrated likenesses
of the artist's young lover, Marie-Therese Walter. In contrast to
Ingres's work, it was painted in just a day or two. The final essay
explores, through these two works, the artists' shared interest in
the relationship between nude and clothed bodies, revealing the
depth of Picasso's engagement with Madame Moitessier, which
motivates and animates Woman with a Book. Published by National
Gallery Company/Distributed by Yale University Press Exhibition
