Why a modern master finds ultra-modernity in a classical masterpiece
In short: In this episode of The Artist Project, American painter and sculptor Kerry James Marshall examines Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres's 'Odalisque in Grisaille' to explore the power of the pure image.
Born in 1955, Marshall engages with The Met's collection to reflect on how classical works can function as contemporary visual experiences. He views Ingres's piece through a modern lens, considering its existence as a singular, potent image.
