Picasso Ingres: Face to Face
One of Picasso’s most celebrated works, ‘Woman with a Book’ (1932), featuring a woman resting her face on her hand, was inspired by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres’s earlier portrait ‘Madame Moitessier’ (1856). For the first time, these two powerful paintings will be exhibited together, juxtaposed side by side for viewers to debate their artistic continuity.
