PRESENTATION OUTLINE
MIRROR, MIRROR ON THE WALL
A BEAUTY CONTEST BETWEEN
3 WOMEN
(I have been in love with her for almost 40 years)
LET'S GET THE DISCUSSION GOING...
Why does she deserve to be on a pedestal?
So why haven't we previously put people like her on a pedestal?
Picasso made us comfortable with the idea of displaying deformity on a pedestal!
We know why Alison Lapper deserved a pedestal.
So, what made Kate Moss deserving of a sculpture?
And Marie-Thérèse Walther?
3 KINDS OF DEFORMITY
- Picasso deforms Marie-Thérèse's face
- Kate Moss assumes a contorted pose
- Alison Lapper is naturally deformed
But did Picasso deform Marie-Thérèse's face?
Perhaps this is how Picasso looked at her?
What does Kate's sculpture tell us of her world?
We know how each of the women is ugly.
But how is each of them beautiful?
Which is your favorite?
Why?
