The Errors in Painting

by Christiane Lavaquerie-Klein and Laurence Paix-Rusteroltz
When Ingres painted a woman, with no hesitation he added vertebras, extremely long arms, too round hips, in a totally unnatural position. But she was even more sensual and desirable. Here is a history of painting from a new and unexpected angle: the errors. 34 masterpieces are presented (including Van Eyck, Veronese, Manet, Matisse, Picasso and Pasquiat).
