[INTERVIEWER:] To what degree were you thinking about the many movies that have been made about a male artist and the woman who inspired him?

[SCIAMMA:] I didn’t have to think much about that because basically we know by heart the story as it has been told so far, so I didn’t have to craft my answer to that. I wanted to tell another story, not didactically, but in very emotional, sentimental, political ways. At the center of the film is this idea that there is no muse, or that it’s a beautiful word for hiding the reality of how women have been collaborating with artists. I wanted to portray the intellectual dialogue and not to forget that there are several brains in the room. We see how art history reduces the collaboration between artists and their companions: before, a muse was this fetishized, silent, beautiful woman sitting in the room, whereas we now know that Dora Maar, the “muse” of Picasso, was this great Surrealist photographer. And Gabrièle Buffet-Picabia, the companion of Francis Picabia, was intensely involved in his evolution. I wanted to portray the reality of that […]

Exhibition: Making Marvels: Science and Splendor at the Courts of Europe. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, November 25, 2019–March 1, 2020

Between 1550 and 1750, nearly every royal family in Europe assembled vast collections of exquisite and entertaining objects. Public spending and the display of precious metals were expressions of power, and possessing artistic and technological innovations conveyed status. In fact, advancements in art, science, and technology were often prominently showcased in elaborate court entertainments that were characteristic of the period.

November 10 Struck by the abstract nature of absence; yet it’s so painful, lacerating. Which allows me to understand abstraction somewhat better: it is absence and pain, the pain of absence—perhaps therefore love?

In Male Gothic the gaze is another aspect of those omnipresent boundary violations that lead, eventually, to punishment–looks may literally “kill.” In the context of Female Gothic, however, to gaze becomes a creative rather than a destructive act. In “realizing” things or persons other than herself the heroine literally “makes them real.” Her perception enlarges her world, opens up the possibility of discovering good, and of finding what she seeks.

Anne Williams, Art of Darkness: A Poetics of Gothic. Williams cites the myth of Psyche and Echo as the prototypical Female Gothic plot, with Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre as one of its most recognizable manifestations.
