Picasso presentation biography
Picasso is an inventor of new forms of painting, an innovator of styles and methods, and one of the most prolific artists in history. Picasso created more than 20 thousand works. Born in Malaga on October 25. The genius of Picasso discovered himself early: at the age of 10, he painted his first paintings, and at 15 he brilliantly passed the foster exam to the school of elegant arts in Barcelona.
Between and, Picasso made three trips to Paris and finally settled there in the styles of French impressionist artists, especially Degas and Toulouse-Litrak had a strong influence on the formation of the creative manner of Picasso during this period. The blue room of Picasso, the collection of Philips, Washington reflects the influence of these artists and at the same time shows the evolution of Picasso's work in the blue period, which is called so, since various shades of blue and blue dominated his works over the next few years.
Displacing human suffering, Picasso painted blind, beggars, alcoholics and prostitutes during this period. They partly elongated bodies in the paintings resemble the works of the Spanish artist El Greco. The same circle of images, starting from a year, acquires a different color from him. It is as if a ray of hopes penetrates the souls of his heroes along with the appearance of more light and transparent colors in the colorful gamut of his paintings: pink, ash-pink, golden pink tones join the lightened shades of blue.
After the works of the Blue period, the paintings of the pink period represent the world of circuscs and tramps The family of acrobats with a monkey, Gothenborg, Art Museum; Girl on the ball, Moscow, Mlime them. Pushkin; Family of comedians, Washington, National Gallery. In Picasso, he works in such close cooperation with marriage that it is not always possible to establish his contribution at different stages of the cubstic revolution.
After the period of Cezannism, which ended with the portrait of Clovis Sago Sagro, Hamburg, Kunsthalla, Picasso pays special attention to the transformation of forms into geometric blocks, dissects them into the planes and faces, which continues in the space, which the artist himself considers a solid body, inevitably limited to the plane of the portrait of the Canweier,, an art institution.
The prospect disappears, the palette gravitates to monochrome, Picasso's paintings often come down to incomprehensible reboses. Actually, the cubic period in the work of Picasso ends shortly after the outbreak of the First World War, sharing it with a marriage. Although in his significant works the artist uses some cubistry techniques up to a year of women running along the shore, New York, a Museum of Modern Art.
The portrait of Ambruase Vollarus - the owner of the gallery, collector, expert on art, friend of artists - was made in the forms of analytical cubism. The portrait was acquired by I. Morozov from Vollarus himself. The euphoric and conservative atmosphere of post -war Paris, the Picasso marriage in Olga Khokhlova, the success of the artist in society - all this partly explains this return to figurativeness, relative and temporary, since Picasso continues to write pronounced cubistic still life at that time.
Along with the cycle of giant and swimsuits, paintings inspired by the Pompei-style woman in white, New York, the Museum of Modern Art, the numerous portraits of the wife Portrait of Olga, Pastel, the private collection and son of Paul, Paris, the Picasso museum are one of the most captivating works ever written by the artist, even even, even so, even so.
that with their slightly classical orientation and parody, they somewhat puzzled the avant -garde of that time. In these works, Picasso first reveals a mood, which manifested itself with particular force later and which was inherent in many artists between the two wars: interest in the styles of the past, which has become a cultural archive, and extraordinary virtuosity in their shift into a modern language.
Contacts with surrealism. One of the most complex and uneven periods in the work of Picasso begins. After the epicurean grace of the 10ths, the dance, London, the Tate Gallery in the work of Picasso appears an atmosphere of convulsions and hysteria, the irreal world of hallucinations, which can be explained, partly, by the influence of the poets-surrealists.
For several years, the imagination of Picasso seemed to be created only by monsters, some sitting swimsuit torn into parts of creatures,, New York, a museum of modern art, screaming a woman in an armchair, Paris, Picasso museum, bloated to the absurd and shapeless swimsuit, drawing,, a private collection or embodiment of metamorphic, and Aggressive-erotic images of figures on the seashore, Paris, Picasso Museum.
In years, it is in the sculpture that the whole vitality of Picasso is expressed: busts and female nude, in which the influence of Matisse is sometimes noticeable, animals, small figures in the spirit of surrealism, a man with a bouquet, and especially metal structures that have semi -automatic, semi -real forms and sometimes executed from gross materials, Picasso creates them with the help of his friend, a Spanish sculptor.
Hulio Gonzalez - the design, along with these strange and acute forms, the Picasso engravings for Ovid's metamorphoses and aristophanes indicate the constancy of his classical inspiration. The topic of bulls arose in the work of Picasso, probably during his two trips to Spain in and, moreover, they are clothed in fairly literary forms: the image of a minotaur, which now and then arises in a beautiful series of engravings performed in the year of minotauromachia.
This image of the deadly bull completes the surrealist period in the work of Picasso, but at the same time determines the main theme of the picture of Termnik, his most famous work, which he writes a few weeks after German aviation destruction of a small town of Basque and which marks the beginning of his political activity Madrid, Prado; Before the picture was in New York, in the Museum of Modern Art.
The horror that covered Picasso before the threat of barbarism hanging over Europe, his fear of war and fascism, the artist did not express directly, but gave his paintings anxious tonality and gloom. Picasso remained in Paris during the period of German occupation per year. The occupation did not weaken the activities of Picasso: portraits, sculptures a man with an agent, scarce still lifes, which sometimes with deep tragedy express all the hopelessness of the era of a still life with a bull skull,, Dusseldorf, the art assembly of the North Rhine-Westphalia.
After liberation. Picture Brotherhood, New York, Museum of Contemporary Art - the last tragic work of Picasso. In the fall, he publicly declares his entry into the Communist Party, but is not imbued with its ideas in such a way as to express them in his large historical works. The dove depicted on the poster of the World Congress of supporters of the world in Paris is the most effective manifestation of the artist’s political beliefs.
In addition, this work contributed to the fact that Picasso became a legendary, world -famous person. Picasso's post -war work can be called happy; He comes closer to the young Francoise lived, with whom he met in and which will give him two more children, thus giving topics for his many family paintings, powerful and charming. Picasso leaves Paris to the south of France, reveals for himself the joy of the sun, beach, sea.
He lives in Valloris, then in Cannes, buys Venarg in the castle and is retireed in the rural house of Notre Dam de-de in the hubby. The works created in, very medal -eating in spirit, are characteristic of their atmosphere of pagan idyll and the return of ancient moods that find their expression in the paintings and drawings created at the end in the halls of the Museum of Antibe, which later became the Museum of Picasso the joy of life.
But during this period, the rejection of decorative ardor and the search for new expressive means are especially strong. All this manifested itself in numerous lithographs, posters, xylographs and linogravians, ceramics and sculpture. In the fall, Picasso begins to work at the Madura factory in Valloris; Fascinated by the problems of crafts and manual labor, he himself performs many dishes, decorative plates, anthropomorphic jugs and figurines in the form of animals of centaurs, sometimes several archaic in manner, but always complete charm and wit.
Pregnant woman, some of them goat, are especially important at that time,; A monkey with a baby, made of random materials of the abdominal goat, is made of an old basket and belong to the masterpieces of assembly technology. In Francoise, live and Picasso diverge. This was for the artist the beginning of a severe moral crisis, which echoed in a wonderful series of drawings performed between the end and end of winter; In them, Picasso, in his own way, in a puzzling and ironic manner, expressed the bitterness of old age and his skepticism in relation to painting itself.
In Picasso meets Jacqueline Rock, which will become his wife and inspire him to a series of very beautiful portraits.
The works of the last fifteen years of the artist’s work are very diverse and uneven in quality of the workshop in Cannes, Paris, the Picasso Museum. However, it is possible to distinguish a Spanish source of inspiration to the portrait of the artist, to imitate El Greco, a private collection and elements of the Tavromachia is possible because Picasso was a passionate fan of the Bulls of the Battle of France, expressed in drawings and watercolors in the spirit of Goya, a sense of dissatisfaction with his own creativity marked a series of interpretations and variations on the topics Girls on the shore of the Seine.
On Kurba, Basel, Art Museum; Algerian women. According to Delacroix; Menins. By Velazquez; Breakfast on the grass.According to Manet, none of the critics could give a satisfactory explanation to these strange, daring compositions, even if these were really excellent paintings by Menina, August 17, Barcelona, and the Picasso Museum. Picasso died at his Villa notre-Dame-de-Vie on the eight of April on April of April.
