The world of Picasso. Paintings of the invisible reality

An unprepared viewer is not easily understood by Picasso. His paintings often cause at least misunderstanding, as a maximum rejection and furious rejection. Particularly enrages very many only one look at the price tags under his works at major world auctions. But in history, this author is in his rightful place. Imagine the art of the twentieth century is simply impossible without Pablo Picasso. His paintings are exactly the money that they pay for.

How to understand all this?

And to understand the creativity of this master, one's sight alone may not be enough. He himself many times claimed that he portrays the visible world not as he sees it. And such as he thinks, feels and represents. Therefore, it is necessary to include these organs for the correct perception of what Picasso wanted to say to his audience. His paintings in this case can become clearer and find a response in the soul.

It should also be understood that the work of the great Spaniard marks a turn in the world of fine arts. Further to imagine the world as did this generation of artists, it did not make sense. Everything has already been said many times and repeated endlessly. It was simply necessary to find new forms and visual aids for their transfer. And it was Pablo Picasso who did it. His paintings showed the viewer a new approach to the image of the visible world. Someone had to be first. As one thinker said: "If Picasso had never existed, he should have invented it." Pablo himself went a long way and made a very complex evolution in his work. Before embarking on the destruction of traditional forms, he was still in his youth passed the classical school of academic drawing. This is reflected in the painting and graphics of the master of the "blue" and "pink" periods.

In his further work he begins to dissect the forms of the visible world with the analytical view of the artist. Thus, a new trend in the visual arts - Cubism - appeared. First, analytical, then synthetic. It became one of the dominant directions, the pictorial language it opened was adequate to the time. Studying the creative legacy of the master, many are surprised by the multidimensionality of Picasso. His paintings are not so similar to each other that one can hardly believe in their belonging to the brush of one author. Let's take a closer look at one of the works

The description of the picture by Pablo Picasso with words is a very thankless task. And still, let's try. Here is one of the many variations on the theme of "Avignon girls". The ladies of light behavior from a brothel in the French city of Avignon are depicted on it. The author is not at all interested in the portrait resemblance of his images to their prototypes. On the canvas he solves completely different tasks. It is absorbed by the rhythm of the figures, their plastics, energy, dynamics, balance of warm and cold tones. And with the tasks Pablo Picasso cope successfully. Look closely at the "Avignon girls" and try to say that all of the above in the picture of the great Spaniard there.
