Hello my artful friends
The month of April we dedicate to : Pablo Picasso as it is his 45th death anniversary this month.
In the first week we studied his blue and rose period and the second week we moved to a later period the Cubism which he initiated together with fellow artist Georges Braques. This third week we move to the next of his periods that is his Surrealist phase.
Two factors triggered this period at the same time:
Picasso’s new muse Marie-Therese Walter, whose “fascinating face” he desiderated to picture, immediately notifying his new female friend that “we will do great things together”, and the closeness to the circle of Andre Breton. It was in the gallery of Pierre in 1925 that Picasso first took part in a group exhibition of the Surrealists.
To summarize Picasso’s seven-year wandering in the wilds of Surrealism: “I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them”.
One of the most famous paintings of this period is the Nude on the Beach from 1929
As usual we would love to see you contribute your examples in the comment section below and get featured by the end of the month in our summary post.
