| Picasso and Guernica: In 1937 the artist created his landmark painting
Guernica, a protest against the barbaric air raid against a Basque village during the Spanish Civil War. Picasso's Guernica is a huge mural on canvas in black, white and grey which was created for the Spanish Pavilion of the Paris World's Fair in 1937. In Guernica, Picasso used symbolic forms – that are re- peatedly found in his works following Guernica – like a dying horse or a weeping woman. Guernica was exhibited at the museum of Modern Art in New York until 1981. It was transferred to the Prado Museum in Madrid/Spain in 1981 and was later moved to the Queen Sofia Center of Art, Madrid in 1992. Picasso had disallowed the return of Guernica to Spain until the end of the rule of Fas- cism by General Franco. Picasso changed his companions at least as often as his painting styles. The relationships with women influenced his mood and even his art styles. The shift from the “blue” to the “rose period” was probably a result of meeting Fernande Olivier, his first companion. The artist made numerous portraits of his wives and companions and of his children. Pablo Picasso and Women : During his early years in Paris, he lived with Fernande Olivier for seven years. During World War I, from 1914 to 1918, Pi- casso worked in Rome where he met his first wife, Olga Koklova, a Russian ballet dancer. In 1927 he met Marie Therese Walther, a seventeen year old girl 81 and began a relationship with her. In 1936 another woman, Dora Maar, a pho- tographer, steped into his life. In 1943 he encountered a young female painter, Francoise Gilot. In 1947 she gave birth to Claude, and in 1949 to Paloma, Pi- casso's third and fourth child. The artists’s last companion was Jacqueline Roque. He met her in 1953 and married her in 1961. In 1965 Pablo Picasso had to undergo a prostrate operation. After a period of rest, he concentrated on drawings and a series of 347 etchings. In spite of his health problems, he created a number of paintings during his last years. On April 8, 1973 he died at the age of 91. “I think about Death all the time. She is the only woman who never leaves me”. Picasso as a Printmaker: Picasso was not only a very prolific printmaker, but also a very diverse one in the use of a great variety of different techniques. He created lithographs, etchings, drypoints, lino cuts, woodcuts and aquatints. Always on the search for something new, he experimented a lot with these techniques. Some of Picasso's graphic works are combinations of several techniques. Picasso created his first prints in 1905 – a series of 15 drypoints and etch- ings, Les Saltimbanques, published by the art dealer Vollard in 1913. More graphic works were produced in the early 1930's. But it was in the years after World War II that most of Picasso's prints were created. жүктеу/скачать 0,79 Mb. Достарыңызбен бөлісу:
