  • Las Meninas (Group)

    Las Meninas (Group)

    Las Meninas (group) Dated 17.8.57. on the back Cannes Oil on canvas 194 x 260 cm Donated by the artist, 1968 MPB 70.433 The work . Chronologically, this work is the first in the series where Picasso produced a personal interpretation of the whole of Velázquez’s work. The same characters as in Velázquez’s work appear here, although, with an aesthetically different form, with variations in certain elements of the composition. On the one hand, the vertical format is substituted for the horizontal. On the other, where in Velázquez's work the figure around whom the entire composition revolves is the Infanta Margarita, in Picasso's work, the Infanta still has an essential role but so does the figure of the painter who, shown in disproportionate size and holding two palettes, takes a major role, reinforcing in this way the idea that the most important thing in the entire creation of art is the artist himself. In this way, moving towards the right of the composition, the form simplifies and the figures to the right contrast with the more elaborate figures of Velázquez and the first 'menina'. Another major variant is the treatment of light and colour. This variation has a direct effect on the painting’s luminosity with the opening of large windows to the right which, in Velázquez’s work, remain closed. The lack of colour contrasts with this luminosity. Blacks and whites dominate the composition, whether on purpose since Picasso had used this resource before or due to the only reference he had being a large photographic blow-up in black and white.

Department of Fine Arts The University of British Columbia 1956 Main Mall Vancouver, Canada V6T 1Y3 Date October, 1988 DE-6(3/81) ABSTRACT The Neo-Orientalism of Matisse's The Blue Nude (Souvenir of Biskra), and Picasso's Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, both of 1907, exists in the similarity of the extreme distortion of the female form and defines the different meanings attached to these "ugly" women relative to distinctive notions of erotic and exotic imagery. To understand Neo-Orientalism, that is, 19th century Orientalist concepts which were filtered through Primitivism in the 20th century, the racial, sexual and class antagonisms of the period, which not only influenced attitudes towards erotic and exotic imagery, but also defined and categorized humanity, must be considered in their historical context.

Master of Arts (Art History), August 1997,177 pp., 112 illustrations, 63 titles. This thesis investigates the significance of Pablo Picasso's lifelong appropriation of formal elements from paintings by Diego Velazquez. Selected paintings and drawings by Picasso are examined and shown to refer to works by the seventeenth-century Spanish master. Throughout his career Picasso was influenced by Velazquez, as is demonstrated by analysis of works from the Blue and Rose periods, portraits of his children, wives and mistresses, and the musketeers of his last years. Picasso's masterwork of High Analytical Cubism, Man with a Pipe (Fort Worth, Texas, Kimbell Art Museum), is shown to contain references to Velazquez's masterpiece Las Meninas (Madrid, Prado). 3"t *t #8t CONVERSATIONS WITH THE MASTER: PICASSO'S DIALOGUES WITH VELAZQUEZ THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the University of North Texas in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS By Joan C.

We are pleased Wto present Picasso: 25 Years of Edition Ceramics from the Rosenbaum Collection. The exhibition includes 46 ceramic works created by Pablo Picasso in collaboration with Georges and Suzanne ramie and the artisans at their madoura pottery in Vallauris, france, between 1947 and 1971. Internationally famed for his paintings, sculptures, and graphics, Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) was long intrigued by ceramics. After seeing the works of the madoura potters at a crafts fair in 1946, he asked Georges and Suzanne ramie, owners of the studio, to provide him with the opportunity to work with Picasso and madame ramie examine a plate which has ceramics. The workshop arrangement they established--where just come from an oven at the madoura Pottery. an artist is paired with highly trained assistants to produce finished works--was a familiar one to Picasso who had similar experiences working in printmaking and sculpture workshops. for the next 25 years, he closely collaborated with madoura pottery, producing his own thrown pieces as well as the edition ceramics seen in this ex hibit. The madoura Pottery, Vallauris, france, 1947. Picasso and the madoura studio ultimately produced 633 different plates, bowls, vases and pitchers in limited editions ranging from 25 to 500. Picasso's involvement in producing the objects varied. he sometimes made the clay molds used for the designs, at other times he painted plates or pitchers that subsequently served as models for the editions.
