CANCELED - Pierre Michon

CANCELED

This season, Maud Hagelstein, art philosopher and researcher at FNRS/​ULiège, brings you on a journey through literature to search for stories about art. 

In ​“Masters and Servants”, writer Pierre Michon takes up an anecdote told by Vasari about the painter Lorentino, a forgotten disciple of the famous Piero della Francesca, and distorts it. A second-class painter living in poverty and forced to accept any orders - far too few - from the town dignitaries, he even agreed to paint a portrait in exchange for a pig (a small pig weighing ten pounds). This realist story allows us to think about the rela­tion­ships of power that have always invigorated the artistic world, the infamy that surrounds certain artists, and the inequality of painters with regards to glory.
