Art-O-Gram: Picasso-famous art and her secret-theses 1-4

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 1: An extraordinary start, quantities of famous works of art

Almost good from "small".

There is hardly an artist whose works have set as many records as the pictures that Picasso painted. If you now think 'no wonder, a good 91 years of life give an artist some time to develop into an extraordinarily good painter': It wasn't that it was not at Picasso, he didn't have to develop for a very long time to paint exceptionally good pictures.

But the other way around, Picasso its own kind of record due to the rapid early start of his artist career : in 1895 he passed the entrance exam at the Barcelona Art Academy .

At an age at which the average teenage finally decides that the opposite sex is more interesting than any art exercise, with a lightness that (the much older) competitors made stunned. "Shortly after primary school" he became a student of the arts.

A very successful student who skipped the first two classes, and the Spanish art critics quickly discovered the first approaches of an outstanding championship in Picasso's visual language. His works were compared to those of the Spanish old master, one felt the championship of a Francisco de Zubarán and the early Diego Velázquez , this comparison with the legendary artists of the Spanish Empire was certainly an unusual compliment.

Picasso, who has signed his pictures (with P. Ruiz) since he was 13, had his own studio in Barcelona from 1896, he was exhibited and, with his portrait Philippe IV (after Velázquez, 1897)), caused a sensation in the press. His first major composition ( "Ciencia y Caridad" , "Science and Charity" from 1897), a variation of the history painting so popular at the time, cleared prices in art exhibitions in Madrid and Málaga.

Around 1896, Picasso had made a name for himself in the art world for the first time when he was just 15 years old.

So Picasso needed very little time to develop into an extraordinarily good painter in the eyes of criticism. If he obtained this celebrity through a kind of art of art that he was supposed to give up later, this is only typical of Picasso - and in addition to the basic talent, this is also a reference to the secret of his success.

Famous art and sought -after works of art by Picasso

The next indications of which secret is behind Picasso's outstanding success , of course, give us his pictures, especially the pictures that are particularly famous. There are many famous pictures of Picasso:

• "El Pequeño Picador" from 1890 is famous because it is Picasso's first picture and this first picture already shows its talent.
• The "young girl with the flower basket" from 1905 is famous because it is the first picture that Leo Stein bought him (more details followed later).
• The "boy with pipe" from 1905 is famous because he marks the transition from the blue period to the pink period and is therefore a sign of Picasso's ability to develop.
• The "Les Demoiselles D'Avignon" from 1907 are famous because this painting is one of the key pictures of classic modernism that should be significant for the subsequent development of painting.
• "Guernica" from 1937 is famous because the work captivates the horrors of the war and the artist's shock through war events.

So we could continue “a few pages”, there are around 50,000! Works by Picasso many who have something very special from or the reason.

peace dust should only be reminded here - the best known figure of this worldwide symbol was also created by Picasso.

The pictures just listed are treated a little more precisely in the following theses on Picasso's celebrity and the secret behind it.

But on Picasso there is a little more to discover than "only" the secret of his success and why many of his pictures have become so extremely famous: his unusually eventful life in the article "Art-O-Gramm: Picasso-a long life for art" is briefly presented, his training in "Art-O-Gramm: Picasso-Born" to the artist " .

The many wars that fundamentally overshadowed his life are set to his art in the "Art-O-Gram: Picasso-an artist and three wars" , and the article "Art-O-Gramm: Picasso today" tries an impression of Picasso's importance for today's art world. From very special perspectives, the articles “Art-O-Gramm:“ Picasso-a guarantee for top ranking ” and “ Art-O-Gram: Picasso-the artist, life and love ” the“ Myth Picasso ”.

If you once again stumble into the largest self -doubt during your own creative work , here is a encouraging quote from Picasso, whose statement he has proven to be fulfillable with his life's work:

"I wanted to prove that despite all and everything you can succeed without making compromises."

Art-O-Gram: Picasso-Famous Art and her secret-THESE 2

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 2: Even the first picture makes a special talent flash

The little Picador shows some talent.

In thesis 1, at the beginning of this article, several works of art by Picasso were listed, which have become exceptionally famous. If we take a closer look at the works of art just mentioned, give us clear fingering on Picasso's talent and his sustainable work on this talent:

"El Pequeño Picador" was painted by Picasso when he was just 8, 9 years old.

Admittedly, this "little bullfighter" sits on a horse that every compassionate person wants to send a truck carrot by immediately, it looks starved. But nevertheless: the people in the background form atmosphere, and there is a background, the little Picasso seemed to be effortless to give the picture depth and perspective.

The picture "lives", it says something, the faces and the hint of a crowd are right ... Keep a picture of your neighbor's nine -year -old offspring against it (not your own offspring, the disappointment could hurt).

Small digestion in the spheres of depth and perspective

If you like to paint yourself in your free time and struggle with the depth and perspective occasionally (like almost every painter, also a very advanced one), you should perhaps take a look at the following:

A few episodes of the television painting course "The Joy of Painting" , which the painter Bob Ross produced from 1983 to 1994. We do not know which episode of the painting course ARD-Alpha has already reached, but you probably don't have to blame, the television painting course consists of 403 half-hour programs.

Please do not switch away immediately if you turn on very late and an almost finished picture (which is frightened and lets you ask whether the author of this article ... complete your imagination) can be seen on the TV screen.

Or: turn away and switch on the next time, because you can somehow take something from this show.

First of all, you will not get closer to you with Picasso: If you have asked yourself all your life, what makes people get to hanging pictures of roaring deer on clearings in front of mountains over the living room couch, now see that such a painting can be made famous by many. They even see the origin of a "roaring deer in a clearing in front of a mountain" - without deer, in the pictures of Bob Ross never appear, but live, in half an hour!

This painting is - the author does not want to reproduce her precise opinion here (and also does not consider it relevant). But you can already say: Pure kitsch, perfect world, the pictures created in front of your eyes therefore give you more a good impression of what a Picasso must have done with every brush stroke so as not to paint ...

But they also give them a fascinating impression step by step how perspective and depth arise. And somehow these pictures are really good, Bob Ross puts mountains and trees, water surfaces and light reflexes on the canvas with a safe hand, everyone should try to do that first, which comments mockingly about Bob Ross' painting - only the motifs or always the same topics can be properly on the biscuit ...

Not least: if you are excited or worried or otherwise stressed, the programs are the best mood for a nice, quiet sleep at night - the creation of these paintings should have a very many people ... You can find out more about Bob Ross and his painting school in the article "Bob Ross and The Joy of Painting and why (not) everyone is an artist".

Picasso's work is already diverse at the beginning

Now back to Picasso, on Monographias.com you can still see some works from his early days , mostly created at the beginning of his second decade of life - Picasso presented a very diverse series of impressive works even then.

In his start of work, there is an unexpected copyright, people are shown in a variety of interactions and in a wide variety of environments, almost every motif that is offered in Picasso's immediate surroundings seems to have been taken up; In addition to the obscuring look for what is a motive at all, you can feel the joy almost tangible to grasp the world with the means of a painter.

The fact that these funds will soon no longer be sufficient will be shown, and it will be shown and that it is certainly not the only thing that is not only responsible for Picasso's world career . In the third part of this article, you will find out the next reference to Picasso Success and the reasons and drives behind it, which deals with the right start through the right acquaintances and trust in your own judgment.

Here is a thought for all (expectant) artists and too deep and perspective: How difficult it may be to bring depth and perspective into a picture - the most important thing is to start first, because:

In art, practice always comes before theory. "

(Quote Picasso)

Art-O-Gram: Picasso-famous art and her secret-THESE 3

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 3: The right environment helps with a career start, trust in your own judgment too

A young girl with a flower basket gives Picasso the right contacts

In the first section of this article, some works of art were called Picassos who have gained outstanding fame for various reasons. Now it is a matter of briefly introducing the picture for BILD in its meaning for Picasso's career, and the next picture from the list just mentioned is the "Young girl with the flower basket" , which is actually a "naked young girl with the flower basket".

This picture was not selected in the context of this representation because the healthy painting joy is to be dealt with that the 24-year-old Picasso probably felt when it comes to making this work of art-the picture is not famous, but (because it is pretty good, of course), but actually because this "girl" got Picasso's world career rolling.

Leo Stein in 1905 , and that was the brother of the legendary American poet and art collector Gertrude Stein . She had just opened a salon in Paris, in which the writer and artistic avant -garde was met, the names of her constant visitors can only be melted on your tongue: Georges Braque, Paul Cézanne, Honoré Daumier, Paul Gaguin, Henry Matisse , Pierre Monet, Auguste Renoir, Guillaume Apollinaire,, Jean Cocteau, John Dos Passos, TS Eliot, Alfred Jarry, Ernest Hemingway, Ezra Pound, Man Ray , Tristan Tzara, Thornton Wilder, and many, many more.

Gertrude Stein absolutely belonged to the new revolutionary generation, was young enough to understand artists, and ripe enough to promote them and buy their pictures. She bought many pictures at the time at the time, and even if the "young girl with the flower basket" was not said to have liked her, after buying her brother, Picasso in Gertrude Stein's Salon came in and out.

Picasso Castle Friendships and acquaintances for life, Picasso portrude Stein and sold her pictures. These 800 francs were a first livelihood for Picasso, which was financially necessary at the time, the acquaintance with the gallery owner Ambroise Vollard, , brought him further sales and the next 2000 Franc. These were means for his further life and work - and together with the developing relationships of the trigger for Picasso's triumphal procession around the world.

Picasso's life's work - determined by its own judgment

This world career would not have been long in coming anyway, Picasso was simply unusually talented, his whole life's work shows his outstanding talent:

From the beginning, it turned out that Picasso cradled creative intelligence , which enabled him not only in the field of painting a development and partially groundbreaking innovations. But this creative intelligence caused an often very unusual way of approaching an area that aroused its interest. So he learned differently than others, so he was able to develop new things.

It should be shown that Picasso was not only talented and capable of developing - he made extraordinarily good paintings as well as drawings , he presented unusually good graphics , presented admirable sculptures and ceramics , he was able to write well and write well and also invented a few completely new art forms as part of all these activities.

It is also outstanding about Picasso's life's work that he felt from the start that he could correctly assess his actions himself; That he knew which teacher or which tied apprenticeship would harm him rather than promote him.

When it is conveyed that Picasso's father (painter and art and drawing teacher) recognized his talent early and taught and promoted his son, this certainly proves that Picasso began to conquer the art world under good conditions.

However, if it is also transmitted that Picasso's father turned away from painting in 1895 and only limited to the academic mediation of art, this already suggests a good feeling for the talent of the gifted son and on a family, but also artistic discussions of the son with his first teacher.

With the new contacts, the world career has now rolled out that the Picasso does not prevent the following sections of this article showing that the Picasso in no way stops developing his own style and it was also quite willing to take a risk.

In addition to his success and the possible explanations for him, Picasso's interesting life has many facets that are addressed in other articles. The article "Art-O-Gramm:" Picasso-a guarantee for top ranking " deals with the many records that can be seen around Picasso and his art, in " Art-O-Gramm: Picasso-the artist, life and love " are addressed completely different records.

The article "Art-O-Gramm: Picasso-A Long Life for Art" deals with Picasso's long and interesting life, the article "Art-O-Gramm: Picasso-born the artist " with his artistic training, the article "Art-O-Gramm: Picasso-an artist and three wars" explains why Picasso was particularly affected by wars, and the article "Art-O-Gram: Picasso today". where you can see and feel Picasso in today's world.

Finally, a Picasso quote for developing artists who want to stimulate the unlimited choice of motif. In 1968 the master was able to determine:

I didn't say everything, but I painted everything. "

Art-O-Gram: Picasso-famous art and her secret-THESE 4

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 4: Again and again upheavals, that is precisely that will bring records later

The boy with a pipe - upheaval, out of flash -up optimism

It has just been shown that Picasso probably often represented his own opinion on painting against his first teacher, his own father, that it did not throw him off the track as a very young artist if someone could not do much with one of his representations and that Picasso's more self -confident attitude should finally prove to be justified in a very important case.

Your own opinion should continue to provide the development, Picasso remained in search of his own style and had no shyness to always reorient itself completely. He looked for his teachers and the beneficial contacts with almost always a safe judgment, and he was not limited to his well -lived dare home (in this case: Atelier), but began to research the "world of modern art" when traveling all over the world .

On all these excursions into the world, he eagerly recorded all the influences that offered him a new environment, and sometimes there was an almost imperceptible further development that Picasso took as soon as the stylistic or atmospheric changes in his image presentation , which actually had their reason to live in a changed attitude of Picasso.

The "Garçon à la Pipe" ("Junge with pipe") from 1905 stands for this constant further development - it is famous because it marks transition from the blue period to the pink period

After a rather dreary, determined "blue period" , joy and hope in Picasso's life returns again, as is carefully indicated with the relaxed, thoughtful boy in (still blue) suit with a pink -colored, floral wall carpet - or already indicates vigorously with the flower crown braided out of pink roses on the head of the boy.

But the "Garçon à la Pipe", in contrast to the "young girl with the flower basket", also shows a much more decisive visual language; Everything there softly, overtaken, hinted at, everything here clearly accentuated, sharply delimited, strongly colored.

Incidentally, the boy with a pipe is a young craftsman who likes to watch Picasso at work, at that time there were craftsmen in Paris who liked to look at the most new -fashioned art of time and also had the time (and there were young artists who were watched by artisans).

The confirmation of one's own opinion follows, as so often

The fact that the insistence pays for one's own opinion in Picasso's case is the normal case and therefore also one of the secrets for Picasso's success. The "boy with pipe" is a good example of this, he can later book one of the first financial Picasso records for himself: the "boy with pipe" was the most expensive picture in the world for a while.

In May 2004, he was auctioned at Sotheby’s New York for the record amount of $ 104.2 million (then around 85 million euros) and thus replaced Vincent van Gogh's "Portrait of Doctor Gachet" as a record holder.

In the meantime, the "boy with pipe" has been surpassed by several other works of art, also "from himself":

• November 2013 "Silver Car Crash" (Oder: Double Disaster, 1963) by Andy Warhol for $ 105.4 million
• May 2010 "Act with green leaves and bust" (or: "Naked, green leaves and bust", 1932) by Picasso, $ 106.5 million
• May 2012 "The Scream" , 1895 by Edvard Munch , $ 119.9 million
• June 2006 "Adele Bloch-Bauer I" , 1907 by Gustav Klimt , $ 135 million
• November 2006 "Woman III" , 1953 by Willem de Kooning, $ 137.5 million
• November 2006 "No. 5, 1948" by Jackson Pollock , $ 140 million

The current record holder has been "Three Studies of Lucian Freud" (Triptychon, 1969), from Francis Bacon , $ 142.4 million since November 2013.

However, the next section of this article shows that it is knowledge and ability that a insistence on one's own opinion is approved by the environment, and that Picasso was due to the highest degree.

Because it is not only fun to pursue the traces of Picasso's secret, but also fun to see these records yourself listed and quantified, this is done in the article "Art-O-Gramm:" Picasso-a guarantee for top ranking " . "Records in Love" also has a couple to show whether they can be seen positively or negatively, the article "Art-O-Gramm: Picasso-the artist, life and love" considered.

Picasso's life introduces the article "Art-O-Gram: Picasso-a long life for art", his training path of the articles "Art-O-Gramm: Picasso-born the artist", the importance of war for his life and work of the article "Art-O-Gramm: Picasso-an artist and three wars" , the importance of Picasso in today's world in the article "Art-O-Gramm: Picasso today".

If you are in a bad mood, because your own pictures will not yet climb such financial heights (or that you have not yet excluded because you have not yet started to paint and actually not plan), here is an encouraging quote from Picasso: “Starting with Van Gogh, we are all, as big as we may be, to a certain extent autodid acts - you could almost say, naive painters .

The painters no longer live within a tradition, and so each of us all of us have to create their possibilities of expression. Every modern painter has the perfect right to invent this language from A to Z. ”

Incidentally, this affects the core of what artificial plaza wants to achieve - encourage everyone to perceive art around them and also create art if he can imagine being happy to do so without limitation to a certain definition of art.
