Picasso's classic realisms : negotiating the terms of a relationship [videorecording] / [lecture by Christopher Green ; sponsored by the J. Paul Getty Museum].

Modern art historian Christopher Green examines Pablo Picasso's negotiation of several overlaid relationships: between Cubism and his so-called neoclassicism, between himself as artist and his subjects, and between "classic" Picasso and "realist" Picasso. Green explores how the artist repeatedly returned to "classic" modes of representation as driven by his wish to capture and possess his lived experience of things and bodies in the world. Alongside Picasso's Cubism, Green gives special attention to the drawings of Picasso that were inspired by Jean-August-Dominique Ingres and Picasso's etchings for Balzac's novella, "Le Chef doeuvre inconnu" (The Unknown Masterpiece"). Green's lecture was presented in conjunction with the exhibition "Modern Antiquity: Picasso, de Chirico, Léger, and Picabia in the Presence of the Antique" on view at the Getty Villa (2011 to 2012).
