The Lovers, 1923 and Three Musicians, 1932 by Pablo Picasso Masterpiece: The Lovers, 1923 and Three Musicians, 1932 by Pablo Picasso Keywords: Cubism, Shape, line, Mixed media Grade: 6th Grade Month: December/January Activity: Fractured Friend: a Cooperative Collage TIME: 1-1/2 hours Meet the Artist: Picasso was born in Spain in 1881. His father was an artist who taught at a local university and he encouraged Pablo at an early age to pursue his artistic talents. At the age of 11, Pablo and was sent to art. Picasso’s artworks changed significantly through his career and he created hundreds of paintings and sculptures. He married and had 4 children. When they were younger, he was a fantastically fun dad. He would draw on tablecloths, did magic tricks and would prepare birthday dinner celebrations made up entirely of chocolate. He became most well known for his Cubist paintings. Cubism emphasized line, shape and color. It was a modern art style that is not realistic in nature, but based geometric shapes. It started out with neutral colors, but eventually became a very colorful style. Picasso was very outspoken, opinionated and eccentric. He never threw anything out, hated the telephone, and refused to dust his studio. He loved keeping an odd assortment of pets, including goats, reptiles, a monkey and always some Afghan Hounds. He loved any publicity and made sure he was always reading something about himself. He was a prolific painter, and even in his 90th year, he painted 200 paintings. He was still working on the day he died, at 92, of heart failure. Possible Questions: o Compare and contrast the two prints. Notice the years. o Describe the lines. What shapes do they make? o What colors do you see? Are the colors bold or muted? o Are they mainly warm or cool colors….or, are they balanced? o What do you see in the painting? o How old do you think the man and woman are? o What time period are they from? o Why do you think Picasso painted this painting? What do you think inspired it? o What title would you give this painting? o What grade would you give it? Activity: FRACTURED FRIEND: A Cooperative Collage Materials Needed: 9”x12” white construction paper, 9”x12” colored construction paper scraps, fabric scraps, foil, magazines, scissors, glue stick, student’s own pencil, red, yellow, blue, brown, black, white tempera paints, 6 compartment egg carton for paints, paper plates for mixing, medium sized paint brushes. Process: 1. Divide the students into groups of 2-3. All of the children will be creating a collage of the other student in their group. 2. Give each student a piece of white construction paper and have their pencils ready. 3. On each workstation, place an assortment of colored construction paper scraps, fabric scraps, foil, and magazines; pour each paint color into each egg compartment to be shared. For each student: 2-3 paint brushes, a paper plate, scissors, and glue stick. 4. Have one student (the model) get into a comfortable pose in an area near their partner (the artist). The artist looks at the model and does a quick sketch of them on the 9”x12” white construction paper. They don’t need to focus on the detail and it doesn’t have to look exactly like them, just the general shape of the body parts. The artist may want to add other details of their friend (holding a book, playing an instrument, wearing a hat). Encourage them to fill the page. Note: You may want to demonstrate how to draw the body using simple shapes on the board. 5. When first student/artist is done, switch so the other student becomes the artist. Each student keeps the sketch of their model for remaining activity. 6. When both students are finished, paint in the shapes and/or use the colored construction paper and magazines, cut geometric shapes that fit within the shapes they made of the body parts. These pieces may overlap or be edged up against each other depending on their creativity. Glue in place. 7. After they are finished with painting and/or gluing shapes and the piece is reasonably dry, mark out some large shapes like puzzle pieces on the piece using their pencil. Squares, triangles and other Cubist shapes work well. First, cut out the portrait and then cut the portrait piece apart using the pencil lines as a guide. 8. While students are cutting, pass out a sheet of the 12”x18” colored construction paper to each student. 9. Next, have the students arrange the cut pieces on the colored construction paper in a “fractured” manner. They can be in order or out of order, upside down, side-ways, etc. When they are satisfied with arrangement, glue the pieces onto the colored paper. 10. When all the pieces are glued on the paper, design or glue a few more shapes in the open spaces to experience Picasso’s idea of collage. 11. Have them title their collage and sign it on the front.

    H-France Review Volume 9 (2009) Page 355 H-France Review Vol. 9 (June 2009), No. 86 Peter Read, Picasso and Apollinaire: The Persistence of Memory (Ahmanson-Murphy Fine Arts Books). 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.

Meanwhile his beloved mistress, Eva, had fallen mortally ill and had to be taken to a hospital far from Montparnasse vfoere PicaSso was then living. "It was in this atmosphere of general and personal distress that Picasso painted the Harlequin.

  • Jeanmichel Basquiat: an Analysis of Nine Paintings
    Jean­Michel Basquiat: An Analysis of Nine Paintings By Michael Dragovic This paper was written for History 397: History, Memory, Representation. The course was taught by Professor Akiko Takenaka in Winter 2009. Jean‐Michel Basquiat’s incendiary career and rise to fame during the 1980s was unprecedented in the world of art. Even more exceptional, he is the only black painter to have achieved such mystic celebrity status. The former graffiti sprayer whose art is inextricable from the backdrop of New York City streets penetrated the global art scene with unparalleled quickness. His work arrested the attention of big‐ shot art dealers such as Bruno Bischofberger, Mary Boone, and Anina Nosei, while captivating a vast audience ranging from vagabonds to high society. His paintings are often compared to primitive tribal drawings and to kindergarten scribbles, but these comparisons are meant to underscore the works’ raw innocence and tone of authenticity akin to the primitivism of Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Cy Twombly or, perhaps, even that of the infant mind. Be that as it may, there is nothing juvenile about the communicative power of Basquiat’s work. His paintings depict the physical and the abstract to express themes as varied as drug abuse, bigotry, jazz, capitalism, and mortality. What seem to be the most pervasive throughout his paintings are themes of racial and socioeconomic inequality and the degradation of life that accompanies this. After examining several key paintings from Basquiat’s brief but illustrious career, the emphasis on specific visual and textual imagery within and among these paintings coalesces as a marked—and often scathing— social commentary.

  • Pablo Picasso – Girl Before a Mirror Analysis
    Pablo Picasso – Girl Before a Mirror Analysis The painting Girl Before a Mirror by Pablo Picasso is one of the masterpieces of the Cubism movement. It was completed in the year 1932 and has been interpreted in many ways by the critics as well as art fanatics. The woman in the painting was Marie-Therese Walter – the mistress of Pablo, who inspired him and his works during the 1930s. This painting is more personal to Picasso when one compares them to Guernica or The Old Guitarist eause of the presetatio of Therese through the aas. Lets uderstad the painting in various lights, which are appropriate to the work. Girl Before a Mirror Analysis – Therese Walters Psyhology Picasso was very much fond of Therese and she was the prime motivator to the artist for many years. This might have given Picasso an opportunity to observe her nature in complete. It can be observed that the woman before the mirror is fair with a pink complexion of the ski. This pik olour is osered fro the ieers atage poit, here as the other side is the one the woman thinks that her real self is. The mirror shows a different woman than the actual appearance, who is dark and morbid. There are tears, sagginess, hopelessness, vanity, despair, etc. shown through the reflection; whereas the woman is shown with brightness, physical strength and her face is full of knowledge and understanding. Therese Walter was a bright woman with all the qualities one could expect from a wise individual. Picasso through his painting justifies her nature by interpreting all the possible emotions and feelings of the young woman.

  • Pablo Picasso, Published by Christian Zervos, Which Places the Painter of the Demoiselles Davignon in the Context of His Own Work
    PRESS KIT PICASSO 1932 Exhibition 10 October 2017 to 11 February 2018 ANNÉE ÉROTIQUE En partenariat avec Exposition réalisée grâce au soutien de 2 PICASSO 1932 ANNÉE ÉROTIQUE From 10 October to the 11 February 2018 at Musée national Picasso-Paris The first exhibition dedicated to the work of an artist from January 1 to December 31, the exhibition Picasso 1932 will present essential masterpieces in Picassos career as Le Rêve (oil on canvas, private collection) and numerous archival documents that place the creations of this year in their context. This event, organized in partnership with the Tate Modern in London, invites the visitor to follow the production of a particularly rich year in a rigorously chronological journey. It will question the famous formula of the artist, according to which the work that is done is a way of keeping his journal? which implies the idea of a coincidence between life and creation. Among the milestones of this exceptional year are the series of bathers and the colorful portraits and compositions around the figure of Marie-Thérèse Walter, posing the question of his works relationship to surrealism. In parallel with these sensual and erotic works, the artist returns to the theme of the Crucifixion while Brassaï realizes in December a photographic reportage in his workshop of Boisgeloup. 1932 also saw the museification of Picassos work through the organization of retrospectives at the Galerie Georges Petit in Paris and at the Kunsthaus in Zurich, which exhibited the Spanish painter to the public and critics for the first time since 1911. The year also marked the publication of the first volume of the Catalog raisonné of the work of Pablo Picasso, published by Christian Zervos, which places the painter of the Demoiselles dAvignon in the context of his own work.

    Module: Art Theory and History for Senior Students Course Code: AVI 4M Artists like Henri Matisse and a group known as the Fauves pushed the use of brilliant colour and impasto texture further than van Gogh had dared and Pablo Picasso took Cezanne's experiments with perspective to the next level. The early twentieth century was a turbulent time of industrialization and violent political upheaval and PICASSO AND CUBISM the art of this era was suitably adventurous. We will Post Impressionists like van Gogh and Cezanne begin our look at this time with the development of set the stage for a new generation of artists to push cubism through the work of Pablo Picasso. the boundaries of art even further. Young artists were inspired by the bold approach of these artists but wanted to go even further in the use of expressive colour, and in the flattening of the pictorial space of painting.

  • After Picasso: 80 Contemporary Artists
    Wexner Center for the Arts School Programs Resources AFTER PICASSO: 80 CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS Exhibition Overview This fall, the Wexner Center for the Arts will present After Picasso: 80 Contemporary Artists, an expansive show tracing Pablo Picasso’s potent legacy and persistent impact on a variety of international artists across multiple generations. On view September 19 through December 27, 2015, the exhibition will feature more than 150 works from such artists as Art & Language, Walead Beshty, Marlene Dumas, Richard Hamilton, Rachel Harrison, Jasper Johns, Martin Kippenberger, Maria Lassnig, Louise Lawler, Roy Lichtenstein, Arnulf Rainer with Dieter Roth, Thomas Scheibitz, Andy Warhol, and Heimo Zobernig, among dozens of others. Wexner Center Director Sherri Geldin says, “This ambitious exhibition is a perfect complement and bookend to our own 25th Anniversary Season, inaugurated last fall with Transfigurations: Modern Masters from the Wexner Family Collection. That show included 19 masterworks by Picasso spanning his entire career, with stellar examples of his boundless imagination and talent. The depth and diversity of works in After Picasso demonstrates just how seismic (and reverberating) a force the modern master remains.” The exhibition, originally titled Picasso in Contemporary Art, was organized by the Deichtorhallen, a highly respected contemporary art institution in Hamburg on the occasion of its 25th anniversary and was curated by its general director, Dirk Luckow. Select American artists have been added to the Wexner Center presentation of the German- born exhibition. “Picasso’s art is so influential, because his work and his person cannot be divided from one another and this makes his work exemplary,” says Luckow.

  • Picasso Sculpture Slide Commentary Slide 1: Biography Photo of Picasso
    Picasso Sculpture Slide Commentary Slide 1: Biography Photo of Picasso Pablo Picasso is considered to be one of the greatest and most influential artists of the 20th century. He is best known for his work as a painter, but he experimented with many other art forms. He was born in Spain in 1881 and he lived to be 91 years old; he died in 1973 in France, where he spent most of his life. Picasso loved art even as a young child—his first word was “lap” for “lapiz,” which means pencil in Spanish. He was often in trouble at school for misbehaving and was sent to detention, where he would pass the time by drawing. When he was nine, he made his first painting. His father was a professional painter and an art teacher, and Picasso learned from him. It was clear that Picasso had exceptional talent, so his father enrolled him in the best art school in Spain. Picasso didn’t like formal instruction, so he stopped going. Picasso preferred to learn by watching others and experimenting on his own. He worked hard at his art and constantly challenged himself to make new discoveries. What do you think this place in the photo is? How would you describe it? What forms of art do you see here? Slide 2: Cubist Style Three Musicians, 1921 This is one of Picasso’s paintings that was painted in a particular abstract style called Cubism, a style that was invented by Picasso and his friend, Georges Braque. In Cubism, the artist looks at an object and breaks it down into simple, geometric shapes.
