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. Moving to Barcelona after the tragic death of ensued the archetypical illustration of the Modern artist. Saturated in superlatives (not to mention his younger sister, Picasso was accepted into a local art school where he quickly excelled, graduating history-making auction prices), Picasso’s legacy has been morphing steadily and consistently since by the age of 14 to the advanced courses. He enrolled a couple years later in the prestigious Royal his death in 1973. Separated from his public voice, the Picasso we experience today – assembled Academy of San Fernando in Madrid, but soon after stopped attending classes and began instead through his works, fragmented epithets, ex-lovers and surviving family – is an absorbing yet fabricated to develop an art language independent from the traditional teachings at the institution. A flaneur figure that whets our intrigue into the psyche of the eccentric man. Lionized for his creativity, the drawn to the subversive, Picasso’s early works depicted the prostitutes, beggars and gypsies he 4 revelatory individual that was Pablo Picasso presented a vision of carnality and contradiction, raw would come across in his long walks cutting class, and by 1899 the young artist had fallen out with 5 originality and available brilliance to a society fascinated as much with the human mind as with the traditional methods and into a crowd of vagabond artists and intellectuals in Barcelona. art it produced. Beyond his obvious contributions to the history of art, Picasso was and remains an art world rock star – a rebellious, paradoxical, emphatic communicator whose life and works Moving to Paris at the turn of the 20th century marked a significant period in Picasso’s career. Young demand to be deciphered. and isolated, the works produced in his first three years in Paris are characterized by scenes of misery and isolated torment painted primarily in shades of blue and green. Deeply depressed following the ‘It takes a long time to become young’, mused an 85-year-old Picasso to a journalist in Cannes in 1966 suicide of his close friend, Picasso’s ‘Blue Period’ marked a profoundly melancholy psychological who asked him to explain the transition from the somberness of his early painting to the exuberance state in the artist’s life, while his cheerless paintings inspired little affection in potential buyers. of his later work. Perhaps best-known for his contribution to the birth of Cubism together with Settling in Montmartre in 1904 with the beautiful Fernande Olivier, Picasso gradually emerged Georges Braque - that heroic collaboration that introduced the first truly modern movement in art from his psychological abyss and began painting in lively, vivid hues of reds and pinks, a period in 1907– Picasso’s iconic status was enhanced with each passing decade, a motif of modern art that known as the ‘Rose Period’ that is believed to have culminated in the creation of the proto-Cubism obliterated convention and scrutinized the nuances of change through metamorphoses and repetition. masterpiece, The Ladies of Avignon. Stunningly prolific (13,500 paintings, 100,000 prints and engravings, 34,000 book illustrations and 300 ceramics and sculptures have been attributed to his name over the course of a 75-year career), Honing in on particular pieces from Picasso’s oeuvre would do well to elucidate periods of Picasso’s oeuvre delineates the inner workings of a figure consumed by visual stimuli and external personal and professional growth, however reductionary: the chilling, distorted prostitutes of the attention, carefully documenting a lifetime that he knew would transcend his living self. aforementioned The Ladies of Avignon as a precursor to Analytical Cubism; the 1921 Ladies at the Spring that marked a brief yet somber return to Classical Realism; the momentous anguish and and physical experience, from ambiguity to definition; love to lasciviousness; political freedom to terror of war captured in the 1937 Guernica, a work that remains one of the most potent anti- financial greed. Unapologetically himself, Picasso’s fame, publicly tumultuous love affairs and quote- war paintings in history and revealed a political zealousness that defined much of Picasso’s work worthy ‘Picassoisms’ may have overshadowed the art he produced later in his life, during a time and persona in the years following World War II. Despite these transitions – some so varied they when Surrealism and Post-Expressionism – influenced by his own Cubism – dominated the fine art could have been the product of numerous masterful artists rather than just one – there exists an conversation. Having proven himself a master, Picasso’s later works recall the raw honesty of his inscrutable stealth at the centre of Picasso’s artistic identity that counters his increasing fame. ‘Blue Period’, a reminder to both himself and the public of his first and foremost love of making art. Already the world’s most famous living artist, Picasso’s post-war works take a turn away from the creation of single masterpieces into the varying motif of creation itself, a curious shift into the realm Gili Karev 6 7 of the naïve, demonstrated through crude, childlike imagery that strikingly contrasted with the Curator technical complexity of the Realism, Cubism and Surrealism that marked the previous forty years of creation. Painting with phenomenal speed in simplified forms, Picasso’s later years are characterized with a rapid, almost desperate rate of creation whereby the act of painting seems to transcend the artwork itself. Having proven himself a master of form and technique, these later pieces, made with a range of watercolours, felt-tip pens and coloured wax crayons, convey a dramatic reduction of form into purely compositional ideas, teasing concepts of productivity and repetition through a deeply humanist lens of wisdom and fear. In the spirit of singling out masterpieces, Picasso’s Self Portrait Facing Death, made with pencil and crayon the year before his death at age 91, epitomizes the artist’s focus at this stage in his life, serving as a stunning look into the cryptic eye of this loved and loathed modern genius. A scrupulous evaluator of medium and technique to achieve his desired emotion, Picasso’s penchant for style diversity speaks to a singular devotion to capturing the girth of human emotional Nature morte au bougeoir et à la cruche, 29 January 1937 Dated ‘29-1-37’ (lower left) Oil on canvas 38.1 x 46 cm - 15 x 18.1 in.

  • Philosophy in the Artworld: Some Recent Theories of Contemporary Art
    philosophies Article Philosophy in the Artworld: Some Recent Theories of Contemporary Art Terry Smith Department of the History of Art and Architecture, the University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA 15213, USA; [email protected] Received: 17 June 2019; Accepted: 8 July 2019; Published: 12 July 2019 Abstract: “The contemporary” is a phrase in frequent use in artworld discourse as a placeholder term for broader, world-picturing concepts such as “the contemporary condition” or “contemporaneity”. Brief references to key texts by philosophers such as Giorgio Agamben, Jacques Rancière, and Peter Osborne often tend to suffice as indicating the outer limits of theoretical discussion. In an attempt to add some depth to the discourse, this paper outlines my approach to these questions, then explores in some detail what these three theorists have had to say in recent years about contemporaneity in general and contemporary art in particular, and about the links between both. It also examines key essays by Jean-Luc Nancy, Néstor García Canclini, as well as the artist-theorist Jean-Phillipe Antoine, each of whom have contributed significantly to these debates. The analysis moves from Agamben’s poetic evocation of “contemporariness” as a Nietzschean experience of “untimeliness” in relation to one’s times, through Nancy’s emphasis on art’s constant recursion to its origins, Rancière’s attribution of dissensus to the current regime of art, Osborne’s insistence on contemporary art’s “post-conceptual” character, to Canclini’s preference for a “post-autonomous” art, which captures the world at the point of its coming into being. I conclude by echoing Antoine’s call for artists and others to think historically, to “knit together a specific variety of times”, a task that is especially pressing when presentist immanence strives to encompasses everything.

University of California Press: Berkeley, 2008. 334 pp. + illustrations. $49.95 (hb). ISBN 052-0243- 617. Review by John Finlay, Independent Scholar. Peter Read’s Picasso et Apollinaire: Métamorphoses de la memoire 1905/1973 was first published in France in 1995 and is now translated into English, revised, updated and developed incorporating the author’s most recent publications on both Picasso and Apollinaire. Picasso & Apollinaire: The Persistence of Memory also uses indispensable material drawn from pioneering studies on Picasso’s sculptures, sketchbooks and recent publications by eminent scholars such as Elizabeth Cowling, Anne Baldassari, Michael Fitzgerald, Christina Lichtenstern, William Rubin, John Richardson and Werner Spies as well as a number of other seminal texts for both art historian and student.[1] Although much of Apollinaire’s poetic and literary work has now been published in French it remains largely untranslated, and Read’s scholarly deciphering using the original texts is astonishing, daring and enlightening to the Picasso scholar and reader of the French language.[2] Divided into three parts and progressing chronologically through Picasso’s art and friendship with Apollinaire, the first section astutely analyses the early years from first encounters, Picasso’s portraits of Apollinaire, shared literary and artistic interests, the birth of Cubism, the poet’s writings on the artist, sketches, poems and “primitive art,” World War I, through to the final months before Apollinaire’s death from influenza on 9 November 1918.

More impor- tantly, the artist himself favored a formalist interpretation since the late 1930s, which has all but precluded historical approaches to his work except for a few notable exceptions.2 The critic Cesare Brandi, who inaugurated the formalist discourse on Morandi, wrote in 1939 that “nothing is less abstract, less uproot- ed from the world, less indifferent to pain, less deaf to joy than this painting, which apparently retreats to the margins of life and interests itself, withdrawn, in dusty kitchen cupboards.”3 In order to further remove Morandi from the 1.

    Against Expression?: Avant-garde Aesthetics in Satie’s Parade A thesis submitted to the Division of Graduate Studies and Research of the University of Cincinnati In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC In the division of Composition, Musicology, and Theory of the College-Conservatory of Music 2020 By Carissa Pitkin Cox 1705 Manchester Street Richland, WA 99352 [email protected] B.A. Whitman College, 2005 M.M. The Boston Conservatory, 2007 Committee Chair: Dr. Jonathan Kregor, Ph.D. Abstract The 1918 ballet, Parade, and its music by Erik Satie is a fascinating, and historically significant example of the avant-garde, yet it has not received full attention in the field of musicology. This thesis will provide a study of Parade and the avant-garde, and specifically discuss the ways in which the avant-garde creates a dialectic between the expressiveness of the artwork and the listener’s emotional response. Because it explores the traditional boundaries of art, the avant-garde often resides outside the normal vein of aesthetic theoretical inquiry. However, expression theories can be effectively used to elucidate the aesthetics at play in Parade as well as the implications for expressability present in this avant-garde work. The expression theory of Jenefer Robinson allows for the distinction between expression and evocation (emotions evoked in the listener), and between the composer’s aesthetical goal and the listener’s reaction to an artwork. This has an ideal application in avant-garde works, because it is here that these two categories manifest themselves as so grossly disparate.

Whereas during the height of postmodern semiotic critique, realism was taboo and documentary could only be deconstructed, today both are surprisingly vital. Nevertheless, recent attempts to recover realism after poststructuralism remain fraught, bound up with older epistemological and metaphysical concepts. This study argues instead for a “critical realism” that is oriented towards problems of ethics, intersubjectivity, and human rights. Rather than conceiving of realism as “fit” or identity between representation and reality, it is treated here as an articulation of difference, otherness and non-identity. This new concept draws on the writings of curator Okwui Enwezor, as well as German critical theory, to analyze the work of three artists: Ian Wallace (b.
