Impressed with African sculptures at an ethnographic museum he tried to combine the angular structures of the “primitive art” and his new ideas about cubism. The critics immediately dubbed this stage in his work the African Period, seeing in it only an imitation of African ethnic art. “In the Demoiselles d’Avignon I painted a profile nose into a frontal view of a face. I had to depict it sideways so that I could give it a name, so that I could call it ‘nose’. And so they started talking about Negro art. Have you ever seen a single African sculpture -- just one -- where a face mask has a profile nose in it?” Picasso wrote. Picasso’s new experiments were received very differently by his friends, some of whom were sincerely disappointed, and even horrified, while others were interested. The art dealer Kahnweiler loved the Demoiselles and took it for sale. Picasso’s new friend, the artist Georges Braque (1882-1963), was so enthusiastic about Picasso’s new works that the two painters came together to explore the possibilities of cubism over several of the following years. In the summer of 1908, the two began their experiments by going on holidays in the countryside. Afterwards, they found that they had painted very similar pictures completely independently of each other. The Blue and Rose periods: 1901-1906 In February 1901 Picasso’s friend Casagemas committed suicide: he shot himself in a Parisian café because a girl he loved had refused him. His death was a great shock to Picasso, and the painter would return to it again and again in his art: he painted the Death of Casagemas in color, the Death of Casagemas again in blue and then “Evocation – The Burial of Casagemas”. In this latter canvas the compositional and stylistic influence of El Greco’s “The Burial of Count Orgaz” can be traced. Picasso began to use blue and green almost exclusively. “I began to paint in blue, when I realized that Casademas had died” Picasso later wrote. Restless and lonely, the arist moved constantly between Paris and Barcelona, depicting isolation, unhappiness, despair, misery of physical weakness, old age, and poverty; all of it in shades of blue. In the allegorical La Vie (1903), in monochrome blue, the man has the face of his deceased friend. In 1904 Picasso finally settled in Paris, at 13 Rue Ravignan, called “Bateau-Lavoir”.

  • PICASSO Les Livres D’Artiste E T Tis R a D’ S Vre Li S Le PICASSO
    PICASSO LES LIVRES d’ARTISTE The collection of Mr. A*** collection ofThe Mr. d’artiste livres Les PICASSO PICASSO Les livres d’artiste The collection of Mr. A*** Author’s note Years ago, at the University of Washington, I had the opportunity to teach a class on the ”Late Picasso.” For a specialist in nineteenth-century art, this was a particularly exciting and daunting opportunity, and one that would prove formative to my thinking about art’s history. Picasso does not allow for temporalization the way many other artists do: his late works harken back to old masterpieces just as his early works are themselves masterpieces before their time, and the many years of his long career comprise a host of “periods” overlapping and quoting one another in a form of historico-cubist play that is particularly Picassian itself. Picasso’s ability to engage the art-historical canon in new and complex ways was in no small part influenced by his collaborative projects. It is thus with great joy that I return to the varied treasures that constitute the artist’s immense creative output, this time from the perspective of his livres d’artiste, works singularly able to point up his transcendence across time, media, and culture. It is a joy and a privilege to be able to work with such an incredible collection, and I am very grateful to Mr. A***, and to Umberto Pregliasco and Filippo Rotundo for the opportunity to contribute to this fascinating project. The writing of this catalogue is indebted to the work of Sebastian Goeppert, Herma Goeppert-Frank, and Patrick Cramer, whose Pablo Picasso.

  • Picasso, Mallarmé, Papier Collé
    The Hope of an Anonymous Art: Picasso, Mallarmé, Papier Collé Trevor Stark • Revoir Picasso’s symposium • March 25th, 2015 In February 1935, Georges Braque joined a chorus of mostly chauvinistic voices to submit a “Testimony Against Gertrude Stein” for a special supplement of the journal Transition, denouncing her Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas. In contrast to other contributors such as Tristan Tzara, who heaped misogy- nist insults about Stein’s “literary kitchen” and “literary pros- titution,” Braque objected to the “egocentric deformation” wrought by the ensnarement of Cubism within the (auto-)bio- graphical mode.1 While no doubt indignant at being classed by Stein as a mere “grenadier” to Pablo Picasso’s “Napoleon,” Braque nevertheless did not seek to assert his aesthetic parity with Picasso, but rather emphasized Cubism as a project to dissolve aesthetic subjectivity in itself: “In the early days of Cubism, Pablo Picasso and I were engaged in what we felt was a search for the anonymous personality. We were inclined to efface our own personalities in order to find originality.”2 In strikingly similar language, the other main players echoed this claim for Cubism as a collective effort to become anonymous. In his book Juan Gris, Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler, 1. Pablo Picasso the Cubists’ first dealer and most important advocate, wrote Man with a Hat and a Violin that Cubism entailed “a deliberate gesture toward imperso- 1912 nal authorship, arising out of a conviction that the painter’s Cut and pasted newspaper, and ‘hand,’ his individual ‘handwriting,’ should not be visible in charcoal, on two joined sheets of paper, 124,5 x 47,9 cm 3 the finished product.” And, as Françoise Gilot recalls, Picasso Metropolitan Museum of Art explained Cubism in this way: “It was because we felt the temp- Jacques and Natasha Gelman Collection (1998.

Cloth in dust-jacket. 368 pages. 1120 works described and reproduced. 8 color plates. ********************************* Picasso is 23 at the beginning on 1905 and is living in the Montmartre section of Paris in a famous artist’s compound called le Bateau-Lavoir. He is surrounded by artists and intellectuals, both French and foreign. The poets such as Guillaume Apollinaire, Max Jacob, André Salmon and Jean Moréas have an impact on his thinking and imagery. The gaunt and unhappy characters of the Blue Period are replaced by ethereal and romantic figures, suffused with symbolism in Picasso’s new Rose Period. Picasso also has lovers, whom he memorializes in his work. The year begins with portraits of an actor (1905-001 and 1905-002), one of which has a couple of marginal profiles of the woman who will become his major companion for the next few years, Fernande Olivier. These are followed by four portraits his other lover, the mysterious Madeleine looking lovely and desirable (pp. 2-3). Thereafter the artist begins his important series of acrobats and circus performers – the harlequins and saltimbanques. He then does a series on an organ grinder, often with his monkey (pp. 7-9).

    Picasso The Early Years 1892–1906 n ational gallery of art was h i n g to n March 30 –July 27, 1997 Bell Atlantic is proud to sponsor this great exhibition Pablo Picasso’s impact on the history of mo d e r n art has been profound. His early development was complex and innova- tive, constituting a subject of surprising depth. This exhibition is the first com- pr ehensive survey of Picasso’s art before cubism, from the academic and rea l i s t work of his youth to his emergence as a brilliant stylist in late 1906. Early Youth Pablo Ruiz Picasso was born on October 25, 1881, in the Spanish coastal town of Málaga, where his father, José Ruiz Blasco, was an art instructor at a provincial school. Picasso began to draw under his father’s tutelage and studied in various art schools between 1892 and 1897, including academies in Barcelona and Madrid. Working from live models as well as plaster casts of Greek and Roman sculpture (no. 2), the young artist displayed a precocious com- mand of academic draftsmanship that would be evi- dent throughout his career, later serving as the ve- hicle for some of his most original work. In addition to academic classicism, Picasso’s stu- dent work manifested a less idealized manner of representation in genre subjects and portraiture. The artist executed many family portraits at this time and depictions of local figures such as an old sailor named Salmerón (no. 7), who was hired as a model by Picasso’s wealthy uncle in Málaga.
