Cocottes et courtisanes dans l’œil des peintres
Sandra Paugam
Award for Best Television Film, FIFA 2016
The incandescent relationship between art and prostitution. Courtesans, trollops, demimondaines… At the turn of the 20th century in Paris, these muses of a particular genre presented new challenges to modern painting and literature — Zola’s Nana comes to mind. From Manet to Degas, Van Gogh, Toulouse-Lautrec and Picasso, the painters who portrayed them broke with the academic rules to find new artistic approaches.
