The artist "in himself" - there are quite a few people who can think of Picasso when such a saying falls. Art -loving people do not simply take this brain image and this status, but wonder why Picasso has made this role.
You can spend a studies of art with finding the answer to it, but some theses can already have curious people a mental trace, why Picasso's art is so famous and what secret is behind it:
Thesis 5: Just reorganize painting, and learn more
In the last section of this article, it was discussed that PicassoS's secret would certainly also have to do with the fact that he never rested on his success, but was already a young artist in the constant search for his own style. And that Picasso was not afraid to try out total upheavals of his presentation in this search, regardless of whether it liked his potential customers, and that he was mostly right with it.
The fact that he should keep it right almost throughout his life also has a reason, because in the long run only those who are constantly developing themselves and their knowledge can be kept in the long run, and that is exactly what Picasso did all his life:
Learning, keeping up, more and more ...
The next famous picture on the example list presented at the beginning of this article is that of Avignon's women: "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon" from 1907 has long been recognized by art science as a "key picture of classical modernity" .
Picasso has created an imagery that has never existed in the entire history of Western painting. The "demoiselles" are a turning point that took up all the ideas that at the time ran towards a cubist painting style - with this picture Picasso initiated cubism .
In preparation for this composition, he thought and dissected the European art tradition from the roots, starting with archaic art, after which he has dealt with the great masters across the centuries: from Uccello (1397 - 1472), Piero Della Francesca (1420 - 1492), El Greco (1541 - 1614), Poussin 1594 - 1665) to Ingres (1780 - 1867) and to the deceased Cézanne (1839 - 1906), who had just died by Picasso, whose late work had a "actually cubist" rhythmic structure.
From the elements found, Picasso is now developing a new artistic language, although he did not just want to break with tradition to create something new. Rather, he was concerned with the destruction of the convention, the uncritical agreement about what art is and how it has to be.
The demoiselles are therefore a unique reflection on painting and about art and its beauty, in the opinion of many art connoisseurs, a deeper and more thorough reflection than it has ever taken in another work of European painting.
What the contemporaries did not immediately recognize - the image expression of the demoiselles was initially described as a language of deformation, or they were classified as Assyrian or Egyptian. Overall, the work, which Picasso himself made in the period he was called as a Période Nègre (in the sense of "African influenced") in 1907 and 1908, was rather perplexed.
As it mostly happens when someone thinks something fundamentally new and is also a bit faster than his contemporaries ... In the meantime, the role of the painting as the key work of recent art history has been recognized as undisputedly as its extensive importance for the subsequent development of painting.
Picasso has used many elements of artistic representation in this picture in a completely new way. B. the division of body shapes into delimited display areas, and he dared to do an almost outrageous change: In the painting "Les demoiselles d'Avignon" he gave up the central perspective, which has been one of the most important achievements of artistic representation since the Renaissance.
Picasso represents the five women in the picture from several perspectives at the same time. This happened after he had struggled for the form for months, and he follows one of the most modern flow of knowledge of his time - his employment with simultaneity in painting lies in the same time in which Einstein raises this question.
The "demoiselles", which the contemporaries showed off or rejected, braised for quite a long time in Picasso's studio, were presented for the first time in the exhibition "Art Moderne en France" of the (presumably also irritated) public in the exhibition "Art Modern Ennance" and were finally bought directly from Picasso's studio by the fashion designer and art collector Jacques Doucet.
And again Picasso was spot on
A good decade later it was indicated that Doucet had proven a good instinct with the purchase of the "demoiselles": in 1939 the picture from Doucets estate was acquired at the behest of the far-sighted patronage (and co-founder of the Moma) Lillie P. Bliss for $ 28,000 from the Museum of Modern Art in New York, in 2005 Heinz Berggruen for one of the First studies of Picassos on the "demoiselles", a gouache, $ 13.7 million.
Picasso was so disappointed with the reactions of his friends and assessors after completion of the picture that he kept it in his studio with the scene turned to the wall. In contrast to other geniuses, he was able to experience the recognition of his performance in this picture, but at least later in life, and the picture even brought him an important win:
In connection with the hustle and bustle around the picture, Picasso was given the acquaintance with Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler . The young Franco-German gallery ownerPicasso's works for the first time in 1907 . Around the same time, Picasso also gets to know the painters of the same age and similar ideas Georges Braque , with whom he justifies cubism in the next few years.
The picture of the "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon" stands for another outstanding property of Picasso: he has learned all his life all his life, and he urgently wanted to learn his whole life. "This offensive for every new finding, for every new experience outside and inside, is the essential of modern people," Picasso has already recognized a little before the 21st century pedagogy.
And at the age of 26 he had the courage to follow the knowledge that he had through his own work - the central perspective has been in the "invention" by Brunelleschi and her manifestation by painting sizes such as Giotto and Dürer inviolable for the subsequent painters to give them up was a real risk.
... and learn from the right teachers
Picasso avoided it in an outstanding consequence of consulting institutes and people who tend to get used to the student. And if that happened, he quickly and successfully completed the necessary and then turned to what brought him on, self -study, dealing with the skills of the field in question and the trips.
This constant learning is the real reason why he was able to express a lot of talents. B. learned to see very closely, and then began to explore this vision spatially.
As a not a trained sculptor from the age of 28, he was able sculptures that should have impact on the sculpture of the 20th century Picasso had no great ambitions with this sculpture at all, but just saw the three -dimensional work as an experimental field for his painting - and experimented so well that the works stimulated a whole series of contemporary sculptors on a new perspective on their work.
Picasso has turned 91 and has painted or made something artistic - but not because he was always so hardworking, but because he has always remained curious, Picasso left us an overall work in which we quickly "tear our eyes" when we deal with it.
In the previous sections of this article, part of Picasso's secret was already uncovered: Picasso simply did an extraordinary as an artist, in constant further development, with constant reorientation, under lifelong learning. But that is still not enough to explain Picasso's success "so completely", because there are other components that are illuminated in the next sections of this article.
There is also much more interesting things to tell about Picasso: his life is as interesting as it is rich in excitement and is summarized in the article "Art-O-Gramm: Picasso - a long life for art" . After-effects of his work in the article "Art-O-Gramm: Picasso today". "Art-O-Gramm:" Picasso-a guarantee for top ranking " and in the article " Art-O-Gramm: Picasso-the artist, life and love " is about " Picassos records " .
If you are in the process of learning something (or creatively developing) what will take quite a long time, and have the feeling that you have an at least equally large task in front of you after each learned chapter (or finished part of the workpiece), let yourself be comforted by the following quote Picasso, he knew the feeling:
The worst thing is, there is never anything closed, there is never the moment when you can say: I worked well and tomorrow is Sunday. As soon as you stop, it is to start from the front. You can leave an image and decide not to stir it anymore. But you can never write underneath: End. "
The artist "in himself" - there are quite a few people who can think of Picasso when such a saying falls. Art -loving people do not simply take this brain image and this status, but wonder why Picasso has made this role. You can spend a studies of art with finding the answer to it, but some theses can already have curious people a mental trace, why Picasso's art is so famous and what secret is behind it:
Thesis 6: Picasso's art helps to understand
So far, a lot has been brought to light in five sections of this article, which is behind the secret of Picasso's success. Exceptional talent from the start, a sense of the right contacts, fearless art in constant development, no fear of reorientation, lifelong learning.
But there is something else, which is an important reason that Picasso has become so famous: there are pictures of Picasso who have helped many people to understand their world at least a bit better:
"Guernica" - the most famous anti -war picture in the world
"Guernica" from 1937 is famous because Picasso processes the war here as a time determined. He succeeds in capturing the horrors of war and his shock through the war that Guernica is still considered the most important anti -war picture in the history of art.
Picasso follows a path in this colossal composition (349 x 777 cm, more than 27 square meters of picture) that Goya with his "Desastres de la Guerra" in the 19th century: The artist no longer acts here as an employee of the nobility or the clergy who represents a war with regrettable but fairly treated relapse on both sides, but He takes the party, he puts the real victims at the center of attention.
Picasso creates this with a masterful visual language : Picasso has deliberately used very universal and simple forms in "Guernica" , which (almost like a pictogram) are understood by people around the world. So he managed to understand that the statement of this picture is understood beyond the European culture.
"Guernica" is a political indictment that opens up opportunities for people
With this picture, Picasso created a kind of "political propaganda art" , gave a deeply political statement of himself without serving any specific political, military or religious interests. With this picture, he simply complains elementary against war and destruction. Without heroes, without perpetrators, without a victory of the good.
Picasso shows the total apocalypse with all its cruelty without documenting the events. In the opinion of the specialist scientists, it is precisely through this comment that is not general. The picture thus offers an approach to healing the mental wounds because it opens up the opportunity to overcome the speechless fainting towards the horrific.
However, once the overcoming of this paralyzed fainting allows people to develop a conscious anti-war posture, "Guernica" achieve even more: Picasso has then submitted a crucial work with "Guernica" that stimulates human engagement against war.
In the same way, "Guernica" is also seen - because of the ingenious visual language almost all over the world - the huge anti -war picture is one of the most published ("cited") pictures, whether as a newspaper print, mural, poster, graffiti or poster, also for many sculptures "Guernica".
Many of the components who are responsible for the fact that Picasso is granted an exceptional position among the artists have now been addressed in this article, but there are still no two aspects that are shown in the last section.
You can learn more about Picasso's artistic training in the "Art-O-Gramm: Picasso-born the artist" , a summary of his life is in the "Art-O-Gram: Picasso-a long life for art"; In the "Art-O-Gram: Picasso-an artist and three wars", his long years of life are set under war threat to his art, in the article "Art-O-Gramm: Picasso today" you will find out where you can look at his works of art today.
Finally, a quote from Picassos that she should encourage it to look at a lot of art and think about what a work of art should say:
We all know that art is not truth. Art is a lie that teaches us the truth, at least the truth we can understand as humans. The artist must know what kind of others he can convince of the truthfulness of his lies. ”
In this sense, "learning to see art" not only helps to recognize the call in an image like "Guernica", to get involved against war, but will also preserve it the other way around, through "artistic representation", e.g. B. in advertising to be manipulated with financially lost consequences.
The artist "in himself" - there are quite a few people who can think of Picasso when such a saying falls. Art -loving people do not simply take this brain image and this status, but wonder why Picasso has made this role. You can spend a studies of art with finding the answer to it, but some theses can already have curious people a mental trace, why Picasso's art is so famous and what secret is behind it:
Thesis 7: Many works of art and many arts
Century genius Pablo Picasso works focused on one work
In this article you have already learned a lot about the reasons that Picasso and his works of art exceptionally famous. In the end, two aspects are to be addressed, both of which have a very large part in the fact that Picasso became a "myth" :
Incredible many works of art
In the first section of this article, a few “particularly famous” works by Picasso listed, with the remark that the particularly famous works could continue from him for a while. So it is actually, and the pure amount of Picasso's works of art is certainly not entirely uninvolved in Picasso's position as an exceptional artist.
Watch Picasso when painting a masterpiece
In the last section, the legendary anti -war image "Guernica" was presented. This means that Picasso works of art that were created "El Pequeño Picador" ) and in 1937 ( "Guernica"
These are works of art from 47 years of his activity, 36 years of "doing art" are behind 1937 and still before Picasso ... Picasso was 91 years old, of these 91 years he has dealt with the art of painting for 85 years and created 83 years of pictures that are seen as works of art.
Poasso made p ro year 600 artwork e, that is 50 works of art per month, almost two works a day - or much more, considering that the image "Les demoiselles d'Avignon" 809 preliminary studies alone are occupied.
When a heart attack on April 8, 1973 puts an end to his huge work, he should leave a total of around 50,000 works of art , and these works are also class instead of mass, own manual work and not duplication by helpers such as B. at Andy Warhol - really impressive!
Picasso "could have many arts"
Picasso was only mentioned as a painter all the time , but another reason for the secret of his success lies in the fact that he was by no means limited to the image presentation:
Picasso modeled with 20 bare-sitting women and 28 women's heads (which should not be indicated that he would have discovered the woman's brain at that time), with 31 assembly and with 86 modern metal sculptures .
He made print graphics , 1919 to 1930 and from 1945 again, Lithographs , between 1930 and 1937 a series of a hundred graphics, from 1935 a sequence of strikes from bullfights, in 1949 the peace dust (a typical peace dust from Picasso see here , but he has painted many), 1968 two major etching successes about bullfighting, circus anderoticism , and always Calls again , posters and book illustrations , calendar pictures , maps and notebooks .
Picasso designed stage sets and stage costumes , 1917 for Sergei Djagilews Balletts Russes, 1919 for Manuel de Fallas Opera "Dreispitz", 1920 for Igor Stravinski's "Pulcinella" and 1924 for Satie Ballet "Les Aventures de Mercure". You can watch some of his design sketches on picassocinefilo.wordpress.com .
Spring 1947 Picasso moved into a ceramic studio and created nymphs and fauna made of clay , decorated plates and plates with bull fighters and women, owls and goats, and quickly invented a new, white sound mass again.
In 1949, together with photographer Gjon Mili, various light paintingson photo paper , so -called luminographies , where he led a flashlight like a drawing pen.
Painting with light - Picasso and his luminograms
Picasso also worked literary, he left dozens of poems and two plays , 1941 "Le Désir Attrapé Par la Queue" (by Paul Celan under the title "How to translate wishes while packing") and 1948 "Les Quatre Petites Filles" (four little girls).
Even if you need a small Picasso break after reading the seven sections of this article-there is much more interesting things to report on Picasso (see links to related items above).
If you now have the impression of having a quiet idea of why Picasso is so extraordinarily successful, but still don't have the slightest idea of how you should understand a certain picture exactly - let it be easy, look at art and look forward to looking freely according to Picasso's saying:
Everyone wants to understand art. Why don't you try to understand the songs of a bird? Why do you love the night, the flowers, everything around us without wanting to understand it? But when it comes to a picture, people think, they have to 'understand'. "
