MASTERPIECES OF ART IN THE CENTURIES / NEW YORK – The MoMa Museum, New York: Les Demoiselles d’Avignon, by Pablo Picasso

picasso3.1He was a Spanish painter (but also sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist, stage designer, poet and playwright), who spent most of his adult life in France. Pablo Picasso, is known for co-founding the Cubist movement, and demonstrated extraordinary artistic talent in his early years, painting in a naturalistic manner through his childhood and adolescence. He showed a passion and a skill for drawing from an early age, and – from the age of seven – Picasso received formal artistic training from his father in figure drawing and oil painting. Picasso’s father decided to send the young Pablo to Madrid’s Royal Academy of San Fernando, but for him Madrid held many other attractions: the Prado housed paintings by Velázquez, Goya and El Greco.

picasso1.1Les Demoiselles d’Avignon (an oil on canvas, created in 1907, measuring 243.9 x 233.7 cm), is one of the most famous paintings by Pablo Picasso, that you can admire at the MoMA in New York. The picture shows five prostitutes in a brothel in Barcelona, Avignon calle. The painter, in preparation for this painting, he made a hundred preparatory studies. In 1916, when this painting was exhibited for the first time, the picture was judged immoral. The women appear as slightly menacing and rendered with angular and disjointed body shapes, and each figure is depicted in a disconcerting confrontational manner (and none are conventionally feminine). As you can observe, the painter used distortion of female’s body and geometric forms in an innovative way, which challenge the expectation that paintings will offer idealized representations of female beauty. This painting is a large work and took nine months to complete. It demonstrates the true genius and novelty of Picasso’s passion.
