    Chorégraphe, peintre et mannequin, elle est la muse et la première des compagnes de Picasso avant de le quitter en 1912. Fernande OLIVIER Née Amélie LANG le 6 juin 1881 à 14h à Paris 6e Selon acte n°1405 – Archives Paris en ligne – 1881 – V4 E 3230 – vue 15/31 Décédée le 29 janvier 1966 à Neuilly-sur-Seine 92- Hauts-de-Seine Elle rencontre Picasso au Bateau-lavoir… Appelé ainsi par Max Jacob, en raison de son unique point d’eau, les ateliers du Bateau-lavoir dans le 18e arrondissement de Paris attirent nombre d’artistes en tous genres et marchands d’art à l’aube du 20e siècle. Glacé en hiver, fournaise en été, ce qui devient vite le royaume des peintres de Montmartre, exige une santé de fer. Le confort y est des plus rustiques comme l’indique plus tard Fernande dans son livre Picasso et ses amis préfacé par Paul Léautaud et édité en 1933 chez Stock : Un sommier sur quatre pieds dans un coin. Un petit poêle de fonte tout rouillé supportant une cuvette ; une serviette, un bout de savon étaient posés sur une table de bois blanc à côté. [...] des chevalets, des toiles de toutes dimensions, des tubes de couleurs éparpillés par terre, des pinceaux.» Et en 1907, c’est dans ce dénuement total, parfois illuminé par la présence de jolies femmes dont Fernande Olivier, que Pablo Picasso vient d’achever Les Demoiselles d’Avignon. L’une d’elles serait Fernande. Quelque peu effrayé par la nouveauté de son œuvre, Picasso hésite à la montrer.

  • 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.

    KEES VAN DONGEN From 11th June to 27th September 2009 PRESS CONFERENCE 11th June 2009, at 11.30 a.m. INAUGURATION 11th June 2009, at 19.30 p.m. Press contact: Phone: + 34 93 256 30 21 /26 Fax: + 34 93 315 01 02 [email protected] CONTENTS 1. 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.

  • Museu Picasso Presents Picasso/Dalí, Dalí/Picasso, the First Exhibition to Explore the Relationship Between Both Artists
    Press Release THE MUSEU PICASSO PRESENTS PICASSO/DALÍ, DALÍ/PICASSO, THE FIRST EXHIBITION TO EXPLORE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BOTH ARTISTS Organised by the Museu Picasso with The Dalí Museum in Saint Petersburg, Florida, in collaboration with the Fundació Gala-Salvador Dalí in Figueres, this show examines the relationship between Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dalí—one of the most decisive crossroads in the history of 20th-century art Dalí felt admiration for Picasso dating back to before they had even met, when the young Dalí was making his first avant-garde forays in the early 1920’s The show includes works rarely seen in Europe, including Salvador Dalí’s Portrait of My Sister and Profanation of the Host, and 29 pieces by the two artists that will only be seen in Barcelona Barcelona, 19 March 2015. The Museu Picasso and The Dalí Museum in Saint Petersburg, Florida, have worked with the Fundació Gala-Salvador Dalí in Figueres and more than 25 art museums and private collectors worldwide to put on the first exhibition to analyse the relationship between Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dalí. The show sheds light on their highly productive relationship and reveals its high points and contradictions. “We didn’t set out to show that these two artists are in some way similar, but to help visitors get a better understanding of them,” says the show’s co-curator, William Jeffett, from The Dalí Museum. The idea is to let visitors see work by both artists in a fresh light by showing where their paths crossed. The exhibition reveals that after Dalí visited Picasso at his studio in Paris, his work underwent a tremendous experimental shift: he quickly went from merely “analysing” Picasso’s work to fashioning his own, fully Surrealist artistic language.
