PRESENTATION 2. EXHIBITION TOUR 3. EXHIBITION AREAS 4. EXTENDED LABELS ON WORKS 5. CHRONOLOGY 1. PRESENTATION This exhibition dedicated to Kees Van Dongen shows the artist‘s evolution from his student years to the peak of his career and evokes many of his aesthetic ties and exchanges with Picasso, with whom he temporarily shared the Bateau-Lavoir. Born in a suburb of Rotterdam, Van Dongen‘s career was spent mainly in Paris where he came to live in 1897. A hedonist and frequent traveller, he was a regular visitor to the seaside resorts of Deauville, Cannes and Monte Carlo, where he died in 1968. Van Dongen experienced poverty, during the years of revelry with Picasso, and then fame before finally falling out of fashion, a status he endured with a certain melancholy. The exhibition confirms Kees Van Dongen‘s decisive role in the great artistic upheavals of the early 20th century as a member of the Fauvist movement, in which he occupied the unique position of an often irreverent and acerbic portraitist. The virulence and extravagance of his canvases provoked immediate repercussions abroad, particularly within the Die Brücke German expressionist movement. Together with his orientalism, contemporary with that of Matisse, this places Van Dongen at the very forefront of the avant-garde.

  • Dalí, Picasso, Velázquez: Measuring up by ELLIOTT H
    ©Elliott H. King, 2015 Dalí, Picasso, Velázquez: Measuring Up By ELLIOTT H. KING “I’ve always said I’m a very bad painter because I’m too intelligent to be a good painter. To be a good painter, you’ve got to be a bit stupid, with the exception of Velázquez, who is a genius and whose talent surpasses the art of painting.” – Salvador Dalí[1] The year 1960 marked the 300th anniversary of the death of Spanish artist Diego Velázquez, in- citing a flurry of commemorative exhibitions, books, and other popular and scholarly studies around the globe.[2] The occasion could not have been overlooked by Spain’s two most promi- nent artists, Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dalí, each of whom executed his own reinterpretations of Velázquez’s paintings in the years directly preceding and following the tri-centennial. This essay considers these bodies of work, albeit in a somewhat round-about fashion. For Picasso, I will look, as a group, to the fifty-eight paintings he executed on the theme of Velázquez’s paint- ing Las Meninas (1656) in 1957, and for Dalí, to his handful of paintings and statements extoling Velázquez as a precursor to atomic physics and contemporary action painting, spearheaded by his 1958 canvas, Velázquez Painting the Infanta Margarita with the Lights and Shadows of His Own Glory. While I intend to compare and contrast the two artists’ approaches to Velázquez in the late-1950s and early-1960s, I have chosen a somewhat unorthodox framework to facilitate the question. Dali welcomed comparisons between his work and that of Picasso, whom he called the other great “genius” of Spain (in addition to himself).[3] Having reinvented himself as a “classic” painter in 1941, Dalí launched a barrage of defamatory statements and back-handed compliments against Picasso that pitted his own Renaissance-revival style against what he described in 1956 as Picasso’s “pure bestiality.”[4] From amongst Dalí’s myriad proclamations, I have located a rather fleeting one that strikes me as ranking amongst his most memorable and opaque.

  • Pablo Picasso Guernica(1937)
    Pablo Picasso Guernica (1937) Pablo Picasso painted Guernica at the request of the Republican government for the Spanish Pavilion at the 1937 Paris International Exhibition. The work is a testimony and condemnation of the bombing of the Basque town of Guernica’s population by the Luftwaffe, who were allied to the rebels, and is considered a fundamental work of 20th Century art, remaining a universal symbol of the fight against oppression. April 26, 1937. On that day, planes of the Condor Legion of the German air force, in aid of the rebel troops beneath the com- mand of General Franco, launched incen- diary bombs against Guernica, a key city in the Basque political tradition. Some foreign press correspondents covering the happenings on the northern front of the war were in Bilbao. The very day of the bombing, they moved to Guernica, gathe- ring the images and testimonies which would reach the international press the following day and affect the entire world. The news of the attack on a non-military An icon of the Spanish Civil War, of worldwide anti-war sentiment and of the fight for enclave with a civil population made up freedom, Guernica is one of the most emblematic images of the contemporary world principally of women and children spread and the last great painting of history of the European tradition.

It is with this in mind that we are proud to showcase one of the most illustrious names in 20th century art: Pablo Picasso. Heralded as one of the biggest names of Modern Art and one of the pioneers of Cubism, Picasso dramatically changed the landscape of his contemporary art scene. Excelling in various mediums and movements, Picasso strived to cast aside conventional ideals, driving forward and exploring new limits all the while establishing himself as one of the most important figures within the art world. 3 We are pleased to present to you these prestigious works by the world’s most illustrious and recognizable Modern artist, in an intimate setting for collectors and appreciators alike. Gilles Dyan Stéphane Le Pelletier Founder and Chairman Director Opera Gallery Group Opera Gallery Asia Pacific Researching an illustrious figure such as Picasso is bound to elicit an array of polarizing definitions. The life of Pablo Picasso began in Málaga, Spain on October 25th in 1881. Not a particularly bright ‘Genius’, surely, is one that repeats itself often, ‘visionary’ another. Tormented, manipulative, student academically, at the age of eight Pablo was already displaying signs of artistic aptitude, a misanthropic – also phrases that pepper history’s perception of the persona, a man whose namesake talent his artistic parents recognized and encouraged.

  • Pablo Picasso Was Born on 1881 and Was Born Into a Middle Class Catholic Family but Later Became Atheist
    Pablo Picasso was born on 1881 and was born into a middle class catholic family but later became atheist. Ever since Picasso was young he loved drawing his first words were “piz, piz” short for lapiz the Spanish word for pencil. At a young age he had formal drawing and oil panting training. A bit later his younger sister Lola had gotten a horrible sickness called diphtheria that took her away and traumatized Picasso. After her death Picasso’s family moved to Barcelona. Later at age 16 Picasso set off for the first time on his own. You can say his career started in 1894. At age 14 he made two art pieces one of them is called The First Communion this painting depicts his sister Lola and he also made The Portrait of Aunt Pepa. Later he set off to Paris in 1900. There he met a friend that taught him the language and its literature. They then shared an apartment. Picasso would sleep during the day and work at night. Much of his work had to be burned to keep the small room warm. Much time later Picasso began his Blue Period where he painted La Vie, The Old Guitarist, and The Blue Room which had another painting beneath the surface. Later came his Rose Period which consisted of The Garçon á la pipe (boy with a pipe), Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, and The Portrait of Gertrud Stein just to name a few. Picasso’s African period was influenced by artefacts brought to Paris. Then came his cubism period which he is most famous for where he made The Weeping Woman, Girl before a Mirror, and many others.
