Download or read book Les Demoiselles d Avignon and Modernism written by Maite Méndez Baiges and published by Firenze University Press. This book was released on with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book meticulously analyses the history of the critical reception of avantguard art through the interpretations received by one of its greatest emblems, Les Demoiselles d'Avignon by Picasso, 1907. Since Les Demoiselles has been considered over this century the true paradigm of Modern Art, this book is, fundamentally, a sort of synthesis of the discourses about Modernism from formalism, iconology, Leo Steinberg's 'Other Criteria’, sociological, the biographical and psychoanalytical theses, cultural and historicist and lastly, the impact of post-structuralism and the feminist, post-colonialist and transnational interpretations. The final chapter deals with the artistic versions of Les Demoiselles d'Avignonmade by artists. It is an essay on the different versions and identities of Modern Art and Modernism that have been produced throughout the last century.
Download or read book Pablo Picasso written by Victoria Charles and published by Parkstone International. This book was released on 2011-07-01 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Picasso era español y por eso, según dicen, comenzó a dibujar antes que a hablar. Cuando niño, se sintió atraído de manera instintiva hacia las herramientas del artista. En sus primeros años pasaba horas en feliz concentración dibujando espirales con un sentido y un significado que sólo él conocía. Otras veces dejaba de lado sus juegos infantiles para trazar sus primeras imágenes en la arena. Tan temprana expresión artística encerraba la promesa de un raro don. No hay que olvidar hacer mención de Málaga, pues fue ahí donde, el 25 de octubre de 1881, nació Pablo Ruiz Picasso, y fue ahí donde pasó los primeros diez años de su vida. El padre de Picasso era pintor y profesor en la Escuela de Bellas Artes y Oficios. Picasso aprendió de él los rudimentos del entrenamiento académico formal en arte. Luego fue a estudiar a la Academia de las Artes en Madrid, pero no se graduó. Antes de cumplir los dieciocho años había llegado al punto de mayor rebeldía; repudió la estética anémica de la academia junto con la prosa pedestre del realismo y, naturalmente, se unió a aquellos artistas y escritores que se llamaban a sí mismos modernistas, a los inconformistas, aquellos a los que Sabartés llamó “la élite del pensamiento catalán” y que se habían agrupado en torno al café de artistas Els Quatre Gats. Durante 1899 y 1900 los únicos temas que Picasso consideró meritorios fueron aquellos que reflejaban la “verdad final”, la fugacidad de la vida humana y la inevitabilidad de la muerte. Sus primeras obras, agrupadas bajo el nombre de “Periodo Azul” (1901-1904), consisten en pinturas con matices azulados y fueron el resultado de la influencia de un viaje que realizó por España y de la muerte de su amigo Casagemas. Aunque Picasso mismo insistió varias veces en la naturaleza subjetiva e interna de su Periodo Azul, su génesis y, en especial, el azul monocromático se explicaron durante muchos años como el simple resultado de varias influencias estéticas. Entre 1905 y 1907, Picasso inició un nuevo periodo, conocido como el “Periodo Rosa”, que se caracterizó por un estilo más alegre con colores rosados y anaranjados. En Gosol, en el verano de 1906, la forma del desnudo femenino asumió una importancia extraordinaria para Picasso; identificó una desnudez despersonalizada, original y simple con el concepto de “mujer”. La importancia que los desnudos femeninos tendrían para Picasso en cuanto a temática durante los siguientes meses (en el invierno y la primavera de 1907) se hizo patente cuando creó la composición de una pintura grande titulada Las señoritas de Aviñón. De la misma manera que el arte africano se considera como el factor que llevó al desarrollo de la estética clásica de Picasso en 1907, las lecciones de Cézanne se perciben como la piedra angular de este nuevo avance. Esto se relaciona, en primer lugar, con la concepción espacial del lienzo como una entidad compuesta, sujeta a un determinado sistema de construcción. Georges Braque, a quien Picasso conoció en el otoño de 1908 y con quien encabezó el movimiento cubista durante los seis años de su apogeo, quedó asombrado por la semejanza que los experimentos pictóricos de Picasso guardaban con los suyos. En cierto momento, explicó: “La dirección principal del cubismo era la materialización del espacio”. Después de su periodo cubista, en la década de 1920, Picasso volvió a un estilo artístico más figurativo y se acercó más al movimiento surrealista. Representó cuerpos monstruosos y distorsionados, pero en un estilo muy personal. Después del bombardeo de Guernica en 1937, Picasso creó una de sus obras más famosas, que se convirtió en símbolo crudo de los horrores de esa guerra y, de hecho, de todas las guerras. En la década de 1960, su estilo artístico cambió de nuevo y Picasso comenzó a volver la mirada al arte de los grandes maestros y a basar sus pinturas en la obra de Velázquez, Poussin, Goya, Manet, Courbet y Delacroix. Los últimos trabajos de Picasso fueron una mezcla de estilos que dio lugar a una obra más colorida, expresiva y optimista. Picasso murió en 1973, en su villa de Mougins. El simbolista ruso Georgy Chulkov escribió: “La muerte de Picasso es una tragedia. Sin embargo, aquellos que creen que pueden imitar a Picasso y aprender de él son ciegos e inocentes. ¿Aprender qué? Estas formas no tienen una contraparte emocional fuera del infierno, pero estar en el infierno significa anticipar la muerte. Los cubistas difícilmente cuentan con un conocimiento tan ilimitado”.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through works of art, photographs, and writings, this volume explores Picasso’s fascination with tribal art and the influences he repeatedly drew upon for his own oeuvre. “African art? I don’t know it.” With this provocative tone, Picasso tried to deny his relationship with art from outside of Europe. However, through hundreds of archival documents and photographs, this volume illustrates how tribal art from Africa, Oceania, the Americas, and Asia was a recurring source of inspiration for the artist. Side-by-side comparisons illustrate the links between Picasso’s oeuvre and diverse tribal arts. In both, we find the same themes—nudity, sexuality, impulses, death, and more—along with parallel artistic expressions of those themes—such as disfiguration or destruction of the body. The volume is completed with a chronology of the relevant works and photographs of the artist in his studio.

Book excerpt: "Picasso once famously - and provacatively - declared that he was not acquainted with african art. yet hundreds of archival documents and photographs - in addition to reproductions of his artworks alognside so-called "primitive" works from Africa and Oceania, as well as the Americas and Asia - illustrate how such art was a continual source of inspiration for the master artist throughout his career. Divided into three parts, this comprehensive tome explores Picasso's fascination with art from outside of Europe. A chronology - spanning from his arrival in Paris in 1900 to 1974, the year following his death - highlights the principal points of intersection between the artist and "primitive" art: where he encountered it, which pieces he collected, and the resonances found in his own creations. Each date is elucidated through facts, testimonial accounts, and photographs, as well as comments from Picasso himself. The second part examines the thematic links bewteen Picasso's oeuvre and diverse non-European works, providing side-by-side compairsons that reveal recurrent themes - nudity, sexuality, impulses, death, and more - along with parallel artistic expressions of those themes, such as the disfiguration or destruction of the body. Essays by three authoritative authors complete the exploration, providing context and valuable insight into the influence of these works on Picasso and the lasting and meaningful bond he had with them."
Download or read book Portuguese Artists in London written by Leonor de Oliveira and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-12-06 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book centres on four Portuguese artists’ journeys between Portugal and Britain and aims at rethinking the cultural and artistic interactions in the post-war Europe, the shaping of new identities within a context of creative experimentalism and transnational dynamics and the artistic responses to political troubles. Leonor de Oliveira examines the contributions of the work of Paula Rego, Barto dos Santos, João Cutileiro and Jorge Vieira, among other artists, to shape referential images of Portuguese identity that not only responded to the purpose of breaking with dominant iconographic and aesthetic representations but also incorporated a critical perspective on contemporaneity. This title will appeal to scholars interested in art history, Portuguese and European art, and the mid-twentieth-century art scene.

Download or read book La escultura negra y otros escritos written by Carl Einstein and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time, Carl Einstein's three most important texts on African art are joined together in this critical edition. Negro Sculpture, published in 1915, is the first theoretical text to take African art seriously on par with other modern art movements. The 1920 essay Afrikanische Plastik constitutes the author's initial thoughts on the topic. Finally, À propos de l'Exposition de la Galerie Pigalle, originally published in French, is an authentic survey of Einstein's ethnological knowledge. Esta edición crítica, al cuidado de Liliane Meffre, experta investigadora y traductora de la obra de Carl Einstein ofrece, reunidos por primera vez, los tres textos más importantes de este autor sobre arte africano. La escultura negra (Negerplastik), publicado en 1915 en Leipzig, es el primer texto teórico que confiere al arte africano un estatuto de arte de primer rango.Como dice Liliane Meffre, este ensayo, denso e innovador, que abre caminos inexplorados, sigue siendo hoy una de las obras maestras del siglo XX que debe leerse y comprenderse como un manifiesto a favor del arte moderno, más concretamente del cubismo. Complementa dicho texto una erudita investigación, de Ezio Bassani y Jean-Louis Paudrat sobre la iconografía de la edición original. De La escultura africana (Afrikanische Plastik) publicado en Berlín en 1920, se ofrece un fragmento inicial que resume el pensamiento del autor sobre el tema. Por último, A próposito de la exposición de la Galerie Pigalle, París 1930, publicado originalmente en francés, constituye un auténtico alarde de los conocimientos etnológicos del autor.
