Скачать или смотреть Lecture: Twelve Years to Paint! Ingres and Madame Moitessier

Ingres was commissioned to paint the portrait of the beautiful Parisian hostess Inès Moitessier in 1844, but he did not complete it until 1856. This lecture looks at the long, repeatedly interrupted, doubt-ridden process by which an iconic image came to be. Almost as long was the 11 years between the time Picasso first saw the painting, in 1921, and his dazzling interpretation of it in "Woman with a Book," executed rapidly and seemingly without hesitation in 1932. What do the paintings tell us about artistic inspiration and how great artists exploit the work of their peers?
