“She entered a room like a self-portrait”: Duration and Unfinish in Pegi Nicol MacLeod’s Self-Portraits
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Entre 1925 et 1939, l’artiste canadienne Pegi Nicol MacLeod a réalisé un certain nombre d’autoportraits modernistes, intimes et introspectifs. Les critiques et les collègues de MacLeod ont souvent décrit ses peintures comme inachevées, précipitées, bâclées et manquant d’organisation, ce qui vaut pour l’ensemble de son oeuvre. Cet essai est une tentative pour lever le silence dans lequel MacLeod est plongée depuis sa mort, et ce, malgré la grande considération dont jouissait son art de son vivant. Je soutiens que la qualité ouverte, expressionniste et expérimentale des peintures de MacLeod va à l’encontre de la conception masculine du chef-d’oeuvre comme création entièrement aboutie. De plus, la lecture de ses oeuvres comme inachevées témoigne des préjugés liés aux genres dans la réception de son travail. En m’éloignant d’une interprétation psycho-biographique de ses peintures, je soutiens que les autoportraits de MacLeod sont profondément ambigus et incitent à une observation prolongée.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
