The reason that I pulled out the Timetables reference...this time. So many arty things happening at the same time!
This is it! The Painting that shocked the World- Les Demoiselle d‘Avignon, painted by Picasso in 1907. It is considered to be the beginning of Cubism. What a story! Not an easy read, but fascinating. Well researched and detailed, covering the life of Picasso,his rise to fame, the modern art scene and its players. I am not a fan of how he chose to live his life, particularly his treatment of women. Yet, there is no denying his genius.
Reading this for an Artists‘ Book Club. Hope I can finish in time. It is a dense read, but the Picasso TV series on National Geographic with Antonio Banderas as Picasso is helping me persevere! I am technically not an artist but I studied Fine Arts in college and love the Arts, so I plan to join the group. A friend who is a professional artist is the organizer.
#TBRtemptation post 4! This is the story of Picasso becoming Picasso: an obscure Barcelona painter to Paris's and the 20th Century's perhaps most influential artist. In 1906, after having established connections with Leo & Gertrude Stein, he would paint Les Desmoiselles d'Avignon, inspired by Cézanne and African sculpture. It became recognized as captured and defined modernity. He & Braque would then create Cubism. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook ?
