Conference Cycle - Ingres, Classicist and Modern, every Thursday at 6:30 p.m., from March 2 through April 6.

Because of its own recycling of preexisting figures and motifs, it seems only natural that Ingres's painting should have been used and quoted over and over again by the art of his successors without ever losing its immediacy and visual power. This cycle of conferences is an invitation to discover the contemporary aspect of Ingres's oeuvre. An international roster of specialists will discuss the painter's representation of the female nude as well as questions of gender and point of view in his work.
