Picasso Ingres: Face to Face
(June – October 2022)
'Lesser artists borrow; great artists steal.'
Pablo Picasso
For the first time, Picasso’s ‘Woman with a Book’ (1932) from the Norton Simon Museum, California, will be brought together with the painting that inspired it, ‘Madame Moitessier’ by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres.
Picasso first encountered the enigmatic ‘Madame Moitessier’ at an exhibition in Paris, in 1921, and was enthralled. Over the next decade, he repeatedly referenced Ingres in his art, and painted ‘Woman with a Book’, one of his most celebrated portraits, in homage to Ingres’s famous work.
For Ingres, a 19th-century French artist steeped in the academic tradition, the beautiful and wealthy Madame Moitessier represented the classical ideal. Wearing her finest clothes and jewellery, she gazes at the viewer majestically, the embodiment of luxury and style during the Second Empire.
Picasso, born 100 years after Ingres, is famous for a very different, abstract, style of art, but his inspiration is clear. The model for ‘Woman with a Book’, Picasso's then young mistress, Marie-Thérèse Walter, mimics Madame Moitessier’s distinct pose. The painting balances sensuality and restraint, striking a chord with the eroticism latent beneath Ingres’s image of bourgeois respectability.
‘Picasso Ingres: Face to Face’ is a unique opportunity to see these two portraits, side by side, for the first time, and to trace the continuous thread between 19th and 20th-century artistic development.

Today I presented my methods for thread drawing - using four different techniques for this simple piece - to the Harbor Art Guild in Hoquiam, WA.
I used four different techniques to create this image - standard lock-stitching on a home machine, darning on a home machine, fabric applique with fusible web, and hand-embroidery.

Silver Thread Falls is the smaller of two falls at the Dingman's Falls area in Pennsylvania's Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area.
This was shot under poor conditions for waterfall photos. Silver Thread is in a gorge that looks like something from Jurassic Park and it was early afternoon on a sunny day. The dappled light coming through the trees created an array of bright and dark spots. I don't think I would have had anything usable if not for making a 5-exposure series and blending it in HDR software (Photomatix).

While at the art festival, we went to the kids craft area and spent quite a while creating some art of our own. Here, Kyleigh is threading some beads onto a leather strip which became a bracelet. It's interesting to note how her fingers have become more adept at fine detail work as she gets older. No longer clumsy and inaccurate, she is now able to coordinate her fingers with her mind to create things. It's been fun to watch her skills sharpen and refine themselves as she gets older.
