Its a rainy day and the sky still sulks
Each ye has different thoughts. Only one mouth can speak
Picasso starts painting in spiderweb style that plays on claustrophobia and arachnophobia....a reflection on constriction and dilemma of thoughts during the Spanish civil war and the imminent world war Ii
He painted his mother-in-law
His raw thoughts he put down in a sketch book. He had wooden figures from tribes of far away. He didn't know why but it's aesthetics spoke to him
Andre Breton says of Picasso in Composition au pappillion, "it's an extra pictorial composition" Taking everyday things and assembling them in extraordinary ways.
Venus du gaz is as much an evocation of catastrophe as a totem of hope
He used colours and people and perspectives he saw around him
Materials he used...anything he could get, assembling them in new ways
Creativity in his final years involved quick brush strokes people described as doodles of a frenetic old man. Before of course his genius was understood. One such is Tete dHomme.
And then he had babies...and a certain tenderness set in
A film narrated by Maya plays at the museum
