    H-France Review Volume 9 (2009) Page 355 H-France Review Vol. 9 (June 2009), No. 86 Peter Read, Picasso and Apollinaire: The Persistence of Memory (Ahmanson-Murphy Fine Arts Books). University of California Press: Berkeley, 2008. 334 pp. + illustrations. $49.95 (hb). ISBN 052-0243- 617. Review by John Finlay, Independent Scholar. Peter Read’s Picasso et Apollinaire: Métamorphoses de la memoire 1905/1973 was first published in France in 1995 and is now translated into English, revised, updated and developed incorporating the author’s most recent publications on both Picasso and Apollinaire. Picasso & Apollinaire: The Persistence of Memory also uses indispensable material drawn from pioneering studies on Picasso’s sculptures, sketchbooks and recent publications by eminent scholars such as Elizabeth Cowling, Anne Baldassari, Michael Fitzgerald, Christina Lichtenstern, William Rubin, John Richardson and Werner Spies as well as a number of other seminal texts for both art historian and student.[1] Although much of Apollinaire’s poetic and literary work has now been published in French it remains largely untranslated, and Read’s scholarly deciphering using the original texts is astonishing, daring and enlightening to the Picasso scholar and reader of the French language.[2] Divided into three parts and progressing chronologically through Picasso’s art and friendship with Apollinaire, the first section astutely analyses the early years from first encounters, Picasso’s portraits of Apollinaire, shared literary and artistic interests, the birth of Cubism, the poet’s writings on the artist, sketches, poems and “primitive art,” World War I, through to the final months before Apollinaire’s death from influenza on 9 November 1918.

  • ROBERT RAUSCHENBERG a W I N G S F R O M T H E 1 9 6 0 S
    Transfer Drawings from the 1960s Drawings from Transfer ROBERT RAUSCHENBERG ROBERT RAUSCHENBERG Transfer Drawings from the 1960s ROBERT RAUSCHENBERG ROBERT RAUSCHENBERG Transfer Drawings from the 1960s FEBRUARY 8– MARCH 17, 2007 41 EAST 57TH STREET, NEW YORK, NY 10022 FOREWORD For me, a roomful of Robert Rauschenberg's “Transfer” drawings from the 1960s evokes a powerful sense of dèjà vu. It's a complicated flash from the past, dense with images and newspaper headlines drawn from the events of the time. Saturn 5 rockets, Apache helicopters, ads for spark plugs, photos of astronauts mix with pictures of motorcycles, flashcubes, wristwatches and razor blades, all taken out of their original contexts and reworked into a web of startling new associations by an artist with a keen sense of popular history heightened by irony and a profound wit. Rauschenberg is like a mollusk in the sea of time, filtering and feeding upon everything that passes through his awareness and transforming it to suit his own ends, like an oyster secreting a pearl. He selects images from popular media as signifiers—telling icons of who we Americans are as a people, a nation and a culture. And the new linkages he creates make us question our assumptions about our identity: where did we come from, what do we really care about, where are we going? Rauschenberg's smart, deliberative art mirrors the American character: self-questioning and proud, defiant and wondering, but always hopeful. It is a great pleasure to re-familiarize the public with these drawings, important both artistically and historically. Many of them are being shown in the United States for the first time since they were originally exhibited in Paris at Galerie Ileana Sonnabend in 1968.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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.

Jusqu’ici, aucun ouvrage, aucune exposition n’avaient été consacrés à cette période intensément créative, qui s’étend de 1930 à 1935, et voit Picasso pratiquer particulièrement la sculpture, mais aussi la peinture, le dessin, la gravure, la photographie avant de s’adonner à l’écriture. La Normandie, par ailleurs, n’avait encore jamais accueilli une exposition significative dédiée au grand maître du XXe siècle. Pour réparer ces lacunes, nous avons imaginé une véritable Saison Picasso, et réuni les meilleurs partenaires pour déployer pas moins de trois expositions dans autant de musées différents.

  • Synthetic Cubism at War: New Necessities, New Challenges
    RIHA Journal 0250 | 02 September 2020 Synthetic Cubism at War: New Necessities, New Challenges. Concerning the Consequences of the Great War in the Elaboration of a Synthetic-Cubist Syntax Belén Atencia Conde-Pumpido Abstract When we talk about the Synthetic Cubism period, what exactly are we referring to? What aesthetic possibilities and considerations define it insofar as its origin and later evolution are concerned? To what extent did the disorder that the Great War unleashed, with all its political, sociological and moral demands, influence the reformulation of a purely synthetic syntax? This article attempts to answer these and other questions relating to the sociological-aesthetic interferences that would influence the Parisian Cubist style of the war years, and in particular the works of Juan Gris, María Blanchard, Jacques Lipchitz and Jean Metzinger during the spring and summer that they shared with one another in 1918, until it consolidated into what we now know as Crystal Cubism. Contents Cubism and war. The beginning of the end or infinite renewal? At a crossroads: tradition, figuration, synthesis and abstraction The Beaulieu group, the purification of shape and the crystallization of Cubism in 1918 and 1919 Epilogue Cubism and war. The beginning of the end or infinite renewal? [1] The exhibition "Cubism and War: the Crystal in the Flame", held in the Picasso Museum in Barcelona in 2016,1 highlighted the renewed production undertaken in Paris during the war years by a small circle of artists who succeeded in taking Synthetic Cubism to its ultimate consequences. 1 Cubism and War: the Crystal in the Flame, ed.

Au travers d’une sélection de près de 70 estampes, réalisées entre les années 1930 et 1970, et de plusieurs œuvres prêtées par des musées français, le public est invité à découvrir les multiples variations que l’artiste a créées autour de la femme. L’ensemble des gravures exposées, une première en France, permet de voir combien les femmes de la vie de Picasso mais aussi les femmes imaginées, rêvées et fantasmées, ont compté dans sa production artistique. Fernande, Marie-Thérèse, Dora, Françoise et Jacqueline ont marqué son œuvre qui brouille les frontières entre l’art et la vie. La gravure occupe une place privilégiée dans la pensée picturale de Picasso.

  • An Overview of Art Paper Supply in Melbourne from 1940-1990
    An overview of art paper supply in Melbourne from 1940-1990 Louise Wilson ABSTRACT The history of art paper supply in Melbourne encompasses the collective stories of artists, suppliers and paper mills based in Australia and overseas. In the late 1930’s, when the range of papers available to Melbourne artists was just beginning to expand, World War II abruptly interrupted supplies. The end of the war saw the rebirth of the industry at the hands of returned serviceman, Norman Kaye when he opened Camden Art Centre in 1948. The 1960’s saw a number of new suppliers emerge including N.S. Eckersley’s Pty Ltd, Art Stretchers and Graeme Brown Papers Pty Ltd. These enterprises brought with them new papers including the Arches range from France but as was the case throughout the 19th and early 20th Century, most of the paper available was designed specifically for watercolourists. Melbourne Etching Supplies was founded in the 1970’s with a vision to service the diverse needs of Melbourne’s printmakers, including providing them with a range of interesting and high quality papers. The choice of printmaking papers available to local artists expanded once again in the 1980’s when printmaker Robert Jones became the Australian agent for Magnani Papers. By the 1990’s a vast array of art paper was available to Melbourne artists in a kaleidoscope of colours and paper choice became more about personal preference than availability. KEYWORDS paper importation, art paper, Australian paper history INTRODUCTION This study documents the availability of art papers in Melbourne from 1940-1990, from the period of Modernism through to the contemporary art of the 1980’s, focussing particularly on the suppliers operating and the type of paper they were stocking.

It is recommended that the user consult their printer's manual for instructions and settings for feeding heavy-weight papers. Check printer specifications to insure that your printer is capable of handling paper of the caliper (thickness) of Arches Infinity. Ink Compatibility Arches Infinity paper is compatible with both dye-based and pigment-based inks. Pigment- based inks, which enhance image permanence through improved light fastness, require paper with an inkjet receptive coating that can accept heavier ink loads without mottling. Arches Infinity addresses this requirement.
