Ingres’s late great portrait of Madame Inès Moitessier (1856) has inspired responses from many artists since it was first presented to the public in 1857, none perhaps more spirited than Picasso’s Woman with a Book (1932). This lecture focuses on these artists’ shared interest in the relationship between nude and clothed bodies, as it began to be complicated in the 19th century by the impact of modern fashion culture on the classicizing traditions of art.
