  • 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.

  • Comparison of Matisse and Picasso's Treatment of the Human Body
    Depiction of the body Matisse vs. Karie Edwards Eric Jones Picasso Chenla Ou Pablo Picasso 1881-1973 Henri Matisse 1869-1954 Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso were two of the twentieth century's greatest rivals and yet no two artists inspired each other more.-- www.matisse-picasso.org “Expression, for me, does not reside in passions glowing in a human face or manifested by violent movement. The entire arrangement of my picture is expressive; the place occupied by the figures, the empty spaces around them, the proportions, everything has its share.” – Henri Matisse “The different styles I have been using in my art must not be seen as an evolution, or as steps towards an unknown ideal of painting. Everything I have ever made was made for the present and with the hope that it would always remain in the present. I have never had time for the idea of searching. Whenever I wanted to express something, I did so without thinking of the past or the future. I have never made radically different experiments. Whenever I wanted to say something, I said it the way I believed I should. Different themes inevitably require different methods of expression. This does not imply either evolution or progress; it is a matter of following the idea one wants to express and the way in which one wants to express it.” -- Picasso “We must talk to each other as much as we can. When one of us dies, there will be some things the other will never be able to talk of with anyone else.” --Henri Matisse to Pablo Picasso Matisse Time Line 1869: Born in Cateau-Cambrésis, France

They fell into talk, and Picasso moved to her table. Many years later Picasso told that Dora was wearing black gloves embroidered with rose flowers that evening. She entertained herself stabbing spots between fingers of her left hand lying on the table with a knife. At one point she slipped a fraction of an inch. Picasso asked Dora to give him her blooded gloves. All his life he kept them in a special shadow box. With the image of Maar Picasso made a kind of retrospective journey across his artwork: she was represented in all styles and manners of painting the artist had tried before. However even Picasso himself noted that he could never paint her smiling.

Figures features paintings, works on paper, and sculptures created by one of the most innovative and influential artists in history. From his early experi- ments with the revolutionary style of cubism through such anti-war masterpieces as Guernica, Pablo Picasso captured the modern spirit of anxiety, turmoil, and transformation like no other artist before or since. A unifying thread in much of Picasso’s work is a fascina- tion with the human body as a symbol for fragmenta- tion, conflict, tenderness, and desire. Drawn from the exceptional collection of the Musée national Picasso- Paris, Picasso. Figures includes masterpieces donated by the artist and his heirs from his personal collection that span his life. The exhibition begins with examples of his work as a precocious teenager, moves through African-inspired figures and geometric abstractions toward expressionistic and neoclassical portraits and figures, and concludes withPicasso. powerfully Figures emotional is organized in collaboration with the Musée national reflections on old age and mortality.

  • Vancouver Art Gallery Exhibit Highlights
    Vancouver Art Gallery exhibit highlights Picasso's muses – and their stormy relationships with the artist MARSHA LEDERMAN VANCOUVER — The Globe and Mail Published Friday, Jun. 17, 2016 12:08PM EDT Last updated Friday, Jun. 17, 2016 12:08PM EDT Femme au collier jaune, (Woman with a Yellow Necklace), 1946. This portrait of Françoise Gilot – the mother of two of Picasso’s children, shows her with a cigarette burn on her cheek – the result of an argument between the couple. (Picasso Estate/SODRAC) Although excited to see the artwork, I felt somewhat uneasy walking into an exhibition about Picasso’s women. Picasso was notoriously cruel to his partners – a serial philanderer, a womanizer. He got older but his conquests did not. He was in his 70s when he met his second wife, who was in her 20s. He was also a fiery, jealous and even violent partner. Consider Femme au collier jaune (Woman with a Yellow Necklace), 1946 – a portrait of one of his great loves, Françoise Gilot – mother of two of his children. In this colourful geometric oil, Gilot is depicted with a beauty mark on her cheek. But Gilot did not have a beauty mark. The blemish is in fact a cigarette burn – the result of an argument between the couple. How is one to tour through an exhibit about Picasso’s romantic and artistic inspirations and reconcile the ugliness of the man’s behaviour with the beauty of his art? But Picasso: The Artist and His Muses, which opened last week at the Vancouver Art Gallery, is not merely a celebration of Picasso’s reclining, weeping and other painted women; it is a celebration of the women themselves – and an examination of his work through that lens.
