Do not seek, FIND!” A Weekend with Pablo Picasso. Photo by Darren Scott – Picasso, A Weekend with Pablo Picasso MEET THE CHARACTERS Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) Born on October 25, 1881, in Málaga, Spain, Pablo Picasso’s full name, which honors a variety of relatives and saints, is Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Martyr Patricio Clito Ruíz y Picasso Picasso’s mother was Doña Maria Picasso y Lopez and his father was Don José Ruiz Blasco, a painter and art teacher A serious and prematurely world-weary child, the young Picasso possessed a pair of piercing, watchful black eyes that seemed to mark him destined for greatness “When I was a child, my mother said to me, ‘If you become a soldier, you’ll be a general If you become a monk you’ll end up as the pope,’” he later recalled “Instead, I became a painter and wound up as Picasso ” Pablo Picasso. Though he was a relatively poor student, Picasso displayed a prodigious talent for drawing at a very young age According to legend, his first words were “piz, piz,” his childish attempt at saying “lápiz,” the Spanish word for pencil Picasso’s father began teaching him to draw and paint when he was a child, and by the time he was 13 years old, his skill level had surpassed his father’s Soon, Picasso lost all desire to do any schoolwork, choosing to spend the school days doodling in his notebook instead “For being a bad student, I was banished to the ‘calaboose,’ a bare cell with whitewashed walls and a bench to sit on,” he later remembered “I liked it there, because I took along a sketch pad and drew incessantly ... I could have stayed there forever, drawing without stopping ” In 1895, when Picasso was 14 years old, he moved with his family to Barcelona, Spain, where he applied to the city’s prestigious School of Fine Arts Although the school typically only accepted students several years his senior, Picasso’s Picasso in his studio, La Californie, in Cannes, France entrance exam was so extraordinary that he was granted an exception and admitted Nevertheless, Picasso chafed at the School of Fine Arts’ strict rules and formalities, and began skipping class so that he could roam the streets of Barcelona, sketching the city scenes he observed 2 In 1897, a 16-year-old Picasso moved to Madrid to attend the Royal Academy of San Fernando However, he again became frustrated with his school’s singular focus on classical subjects and techniques During this time, he wrote to a friend: “They just go on and on about the same old stuff: Velázquez for painting, Michelangelo for sculpture ” Once again, Picasso began skipping class to wander the city and paint what he observed: gypsies, beggars and prostitutes, among other things In 1899, Picasso moved back to Barcelona and fell in with a crowd of artists and intellectuals who made their headquarters at a café called El Quatre Gats (“The Four Cats”) Inspired by the anarchists and radicals he met there, Pablo Picasso (in the beret) and scene painters sitting on the front Picasso made his decisive break from the classical methods in which he cloth for the ballet Parade, staged by Sergei Diaghilev’s Ballets had been trained, and began what would become a lifelong process of Russes at the Théâtre du Châtelet, Paris, 1917 Photo by Lachmann experimentation and innovation At the turn of the 20th century, Pablo Picasso moved to Paris, France – the cultural center of European art – to open his own studio Art critics and historians typically break Picasso’s adult career into distinct periods, the first of which lasted from 1901 to 1904 and is called his “Blue Period,” after the color that dominated nearly all of Picasso’s paintings over these years Lonely and deeply depressed over the death of his close friend, Carlos Casagemas, he painted scenes of poverty, isolation and anguish, almost exclusively in shades of blue and green By 1905, Picasso had largely overcome the depression that had previously debilitated him Not only was he madly in love with a beautiful model, Fernande Olivier, he was newly prosperous thanks to the generous patronage of art dealer Ambroise Vollard The artistic manifestation of Picasso’s Francoise Gilot and Pablo Picasso celebrate his 70th birthday improved spirits was the introduction of warmer colors – including beiges, pinks and reds – in what is known as his “Rose Period ” In 1907, Pablo Picasso produced a painting unlike anything he or anyone else had ever painted before, a work that would profoundly influence the direction of art in the 20th century:Les Demoiselles d’Avignon, a chilling depiction of five nude prostitutes, abstracted and distorted with sharp geometric features and stark blotches of blues, greens and grays Today, Les Demoiselles is considered the precursor and inspiration of cubism, an artistic style pioneered by Picasso and his friend and fellow painter, Georges Braque The outbreak of World War I ushered in the next great change in Picasso’s art He grew more somber and, once again, became preoccupied with the depiction of reality He briefly joined the Russian Ballet in 1917, designing sets for the balletParade by his friend and fellow artist Jean Cocteau There Picasso met and fell in love with ballerina Olga Khokhlova, whom he married in 1918 upon his return

My dissertation uses a variety of critical methods (socio-political, historical, philological, narratological and feminist), along with the stylistic analysis and close reading of individual works, to study and assess the importance of Fillia’s literature, theater, art, political activism, and beyond. Far from being derivative and reactionary in form and content, as interwar futurism has often been characterized, Fillia’s works deploy subtler, but no less innovative forms of experimentation. For most of his brief but highly productive life, Fillia lived and worked in Turin, where in the early 1920s he came into contact with Antonio Gramsci and his factory councils.

  • Sarfatti and Venturi, Two Italian Art Critics in the Threads of Modern Argentinian Art
    MODERNIDADE LATINA Os Italianos e os Centros do Modernismo Latino-americano Sarfatti and Venturi, Two Italian Art Critics in the Threads of Modern Argentinian Art Cristina Rossi Introduction Margherita Sarfatti and Lionello Venturi were two Italian critics who had an important role in the Argentinian art context by mid-20th Century. Venturi was only two years younger than Sarfatti and both died in 1961. In Italy, both of them promoted groups of modern artists, even though their aesthetic poetics were divergent, such as their opinions towards the official Mussolini´s politics. Our job will seek to redraw their action within the tension of the artistic field regarding the notion proposed by Pierre Bourdieu, i.e., taking into consider- ation the complex structure as a system of relations in a permanent state of dispute1. However, this paper will not review the performance of Sarfatti and Venturi towards the cultural policies in Italy, but its proposal is to reintegrate their figures – and their aesthetical and political positions – within the interplay of forces in the Argentinian rich cultural fabric, bearing in mind the strategies that were implemented by the local agents with those who they interacted with. Sarfatti and Venturi in Mussolini´s political environment Born into a Jewish Venetian family in 1883, Margherita Grassini got married to the lawyer Cesare Sarfatti and in 1909 moved to Milan, where she started her career as an art critic. Convinced that Milan could achieve a central role in the Italian culture – together with the Jewish gallerist Lino Pesaro – in 1922 Sarfatti promoted the group Novecento.

  • Pablo Picasso - the Artist and His Muse
    Pablo Picasso - The Artist and His Muse Pablo Picasso defined Modern Art just as Einstein defined the word "scientist." Picasso was the ambassador of Cubism and Abstract Art. However, greater the fame he achieved with his brush, the more degenerate his relationships became. Pablo Picasso's art reflected all his failed relationships, infidelity, vengefulness and emotional sourness, which made him world famous. Pablo Picasso faced his first tragedy at the death of his sister, Conchita, when he was just seventeen. This left a very deep impression on him. Although Pablo was never as desperate as Goya or Van Gogh or Gauguin, he had his share of mistresses and lovers. Most of Pablo's relationships with them ended bitterly and many which started as a hero worship ended with the accusations of infidelity and abuse. This story repeated itself several times, as Picasso's art grew from Realism to Blue, Rose, Africanism, and Cubism. The funniest part was that, as Pablo Picasso seems to have "phases" in his art; his women also were "in phases." For every segment of his works, it is easy to recognize a different woman. Pablo Picasso's first long-term mistress was Fernande Olivier, who was a fellow artist of his. Olivier was the muse, who graced his "Rose" period works. The colors in Rose Phase Paintings were primarily bright Orange, and Pink. Happy characters such as, Circus Artisans and Harlequins graced Pablo Picasso's Canvas. It could be said that maybe the young Picasso was in love. However, as his art gained value, he left Olivier for Eva (Marcelle Humbart), now making her the queen of his "Cubist" works.

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.
