La Belle Noiseuse

1991

★★★★★ Liked Watched

painter/model dynamic-system:
—painter conforms woman to rigid poses, molds, 'decalcomania', grafts symbols of posture onto her, left stilted
—sees flickering real gaze of woman in a candid moment and realizes now to capture this in painting
—woman sees her own real gaze reflected and rejects (sophianic Recoil...)
—painter in the unfolding of the painter-model dynamic ends up painting an incompletely-paintedly delimbed body (body-without-limbs and acephalic) in ultimate gesture of Incompleteness (—the gaze's recoil of her Real produced this monstrous non-Body)
