巴勃罗·毕加索 – Halcyonart

POPUP

Pablo Picasso was a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker and ceramicist and is often considered to be the most influential artist of the twentieth century.

‘More than a great artist, Picasso was a phenomenon … There is virtually nothing in modern art that Picasso has not invented, practiced, or at least influenced.’

WILLIAM RUBIN, ART HISTORIAN, CRITIC AND CURATOR

With an artistic career spanning eight remarkable decades, Picasso’s insatiable artistic drive has made him synonymous with the development of modern art in the twentieth century. He challenged the rigid boundaries of art history with collage and abstraction – most notably in his co-invention of cubism – and pushed the traditional mediums of painting and sculpture to their limit. His 1937 painting, Guernica, is often considered to be the most important painting of twentieth-century art history.

Homme au Chapeau, 1965

Pablo Picasso

Painted in 1965, Homme au chapeau demonstrates Pablo Picasso’s keen occupation with the subject of the ‘artist’s studio’ in the last decade of his life. Many of his artworks from this time are considered hidden self-portraits, painted under the veil of the ‘painter and model’ theme and depicting amalgamations of certain types: painter, musketeer and rogue. As in the present painting, Picasso’s characters are

‘[Picasso] had created a labyrinth in which elements from his life surfaced and merged in a continual process of change and transformation. He worked instinctively blending illusion and reality into a seamless, open-ended web. It was a never-ending tale of metamorphosis in which the story unraveled from one chamber to the next and along different passageways without ever finding a resolution. At the centre of the labyrinth was Picasso himself.’
