Pablo Picasso
Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Ruiz y Picasso (25 October 1881 – 8 April 1973) was a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, Ceramic art, ceramicist, and Scenic design, theatre designer who spent most of his adult life in France. One of the most influential artists of the 20th century, he is known for co-founding the Cubist movement, the invention of Assemblage (art), constructed sculpture, the co-invention of collage, and for the wide variety of styles that he helped develop and explore. Among his most famous works are the Proto-Cubism, proto-Cubist ''Les Demoiselles d'Avignon'' (1907) and the anti-war painting ''Guernica (Picasso), Guernica'' (1937), a dramatic portrayal of the bombing of Guernica by German and Italian air forces during the Spanish Civil War. Beginning his formal training under his father José Ruiz y Blasco aged seven, Picasso demonstrated extraordinary artistic talent from a ...

Massacre In Korea
''Massacre in Korea'' (French: ''Massacre en Corée'') is an expressionist painting completed on 18 January 1951 by Pablo Picasso. Picasso's third anti-war painting after '' Guernica'' and '' The Charnel House'', ''Massacre'' depicts a scene of a massacre of a group of naked women and children by a firing squad. It has been considered to be a condemnation of American intervention in the Korean War. The painting was exhibited in the Musée Picasso in Paris. Background ''Massacre in Korea'' is the third in a series of anti-war paintings created by Picasso. It was preceded by the monumental '' Guernica'', painted in 1937, and '' The Charnel House'', painted from 1944 to 1945. The title of this painting refers to the outbreak of the Korean War, which had started in the previous year, yet the subject matter is ambiguous, as Picasso does not point directly to a period or location within the composition. Picasso was exposed to the effects of war throughout his entire life and this had ...

Baboon And Young
''Baboon and Young'' (French: ''La guenon et son petit'') is a bronze sculpture by Pablo Picasso. It depicts a female baboon standing up, holding its offspring. Picasso made the sculpture at his villa near Vallauris in October 1951, adding some plaster modelling to an assemblage of items. An example of the use of found objects in art, the assemblage includes two toy cars forming the female baboon's head, a pottery jar for its body, and an automobile spring for its tail. Background Picasso's domestic arrangements found expression in his artwork in figures of nurturing or caring. ''La guenon et son petit'' was prefigured by his sculpture ''Homme et mouton'' ("Man and sheep") made in Paris in October 1944 and exhibited at the Salon d'Automne in October 1945; a cast was unveiled in the centre of Vallauris in 1950. It was followed by his 1950 works ''Femme enceinte'' ("Pregnant woman"), '' Chèvre'' ("She-Goat") and ''Femme à la pousette'' ("Woman with pushchair"), taking i ...

Sylvette
''Sylvette'' is a large concrete sculpture created by Pablo Picasso and the Norwegian artist Carl Nesjar, which was erected in the city of Rotterdam in 1970. It is located on the corner of Westersingel next to the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen. The sculpture portrays a young woman with a ponytail. The model for the sculpture was Sylvette David, whom Picasso met in 1953 when she was 19. The sculpture was produced following the creation of a series of artworks, known as the ''Sylvette'' series, that Picasso made of his muse in a variety of artistic styles. Background Sylvette David was the daughter of a Parisian art dealer who, during the summer of 1953, met 73-year-old Picasso at his pottery studio located on Rue du Fournas in Vallauris. Finding her appearance appealing, Picasso asked her to be his model and subsequently created 60 works inspired by her over the course of two months (between April and June), including drawings, paintings and small metal sculptures. This was the ...

Don Quixote (Picasso)
''Don Quixote'' is a 1955 sketch by Pablo Picasso of the Spanish literary hero and his sidekick, Sancho Panza. It was featured on the August 18–24 issue of the French weekly journal '' Les Lettres Françaises'' in celebration of the 350th anniversary of the first part, published in 1605, of the Miguel de Cervantes novel ''Don Quixote''. Made on August 10, 1955, the drawing ''Don Quixote'' was in a very different style than Picasso’s earlier Blue, Rose, and Cubist periods. Details The drawing is of Don Quixote de la Mancha, his horse Rocinante, his squire Sancho Panza and his donkey Dapple, the Sun, and several windmills. The bold lines, almost scribbles, that compose the figures are stark against a plain, white background. The figures are deformed and dramatic. A small, round Sancho Panza looks up at a tall, gaunt Don Quixote, who, in turn, gazes forward. Don Quixote and Rocinante stand nobly, but have a somewhat tired air. The figure, painted with heavy strokes, seems t ...

Les Femmes D'Alger
''Les Femmes d'Alger'' (English: ''Women of Algiers'') is a series of 15 paintings and numerous drawings by the Spanish artist Pablo Picasso. The series, created in 1954–1955, was inspired by Eugène Delacroix's 1834 painting '' The Women of Algiers in their Apartment'' (). The series is one of several painted by Picasso in tribute to artists that he admired. The entire series of ''Les Femmes d'Alger'' was bought by Victor and Sally Ganz from the Galerie Louise Leiris in Paris for $212,500 in June 1956 (equivalent to $ million in ). Ten paintings from the series were later sold by the Ganz's to the Saidenberg Gallery, with the couple keeping versions "C", "H", "K", "M" and "O". Many of the individual paintings in the series are now in prominent public and private collections. Origin In December 1954, Picasso began to paint a series of free variations on Delacroix's ''The Women of Algiers in their Apartment (Les Femmes d'Alger)''. He began his first version (cat. 19) s ...

Jacqueline Roque
Jacqueline Picasso or Jacqueline Roque (24 February 1926 – 15 October 1986) was the muse and second wife of Pablo Picasso. Their marriage lasted 12 years until his death, during which time he created over 400 portraits of her, more than any of Picasso's other lovers. Early life Jacqueline Marie Madeleine Roque was born in 1926, 24 February 22h.00 in Paris, France, to Madeleine Antoinette Longuet and Marie Pierre Georges Roque. She was only two when her father abandoned her mother and her five-year-old brother, André Pierre Georges Roque (born November 1924). Her mother raised her in cramped concierge's quarters near the Champs Elysées, while also working long hours as a seamstress. But soon her mother re-married and the family was happy again. Her new father offered art-lover Jacqueline violin and classical dance lessons. Jacqueline was 18 when her mother Madeleine died of a stroke in 1944. On January 4, 1948 she gave birth to her daughter, Catherine Madeleine Blanche Hutin ...

Bust Of A Seated Woman (Jacqueline Roque)
''Bust of a Seated Woman (Jacqueline Roque)'' is an oil painting by the Spanish artist Pablo Picasso, painted between 2 April and 10 May 1960. It depicts Jacqueline Roque, a woman with whom he had started a relationship in 1954, after his divorce from Françoise Gilot, and who he would marry in 1961. The painting belongs to the Unterlinden Museum in Colmar, Alsace, since 1967, when it was bought by the museum following a successful Picasso exhibition there. Its inventory number is 88.RP.400. Description The painting depicts Jacqueline (then in her early 30s, as she was born in 1926) sitting in a green armchair. Her neck is elongated in almost grotesque fashion, so as to raise the petite woman's head well above her seat. Jacqueline's face is depicted both frontally and laterally: the right side of her face (i.e. the left side, as seen by the viewer) is also her right profile, which is why her nose is so prominent, and why only one half of her mouth is visible. Picasso also emphasi ...

Tête De Femme (Dora Maar)
''Tête de femme (Dora Maar)'' is a plaster-modelled, bronze-cast sculpture by Pablo Picasso. Dora Maar, Picasso's lover at the time, was the subject of the work which was originally conceived in 1941. Four copies of the bust were cast in the 1950s, several years after the relationship ended. Description The bronze bust focuses on the head and neck with only a brief shoulder-line visible before the squared-off base. At a height of 31.5 inches (80 cm) it is a particularly large and heavy sculpture. It has been noted as being an "almost goddess-like" depiction of the model, sharply contrasting the usual dark, distorted, and aggressive.Two Picasso works up for auction at Sotheby's

Lists Of Works Of Art
A list is a set of discrete items of information collected and set forth in some format for utility, entertainment, or other purposes. A list may be memorialized in any number of ways, including existing only in the mind of the list-maker, but lists are frequently written down on paper, or maintained electronically. Lists are "most frequently a tool", and "one does not ''read'' but only ''uses'' a list: one looks up the relevant information in it, but usually does not need to deal with it as a whole".Lucie Doležalová,The Potential and Limitations of Studying Lists, in Lucie Doležalová, ed., ''The Charm of a List: From the Sumerians to Computerised Data Processing'' (2009). Purpose It has been observed that, with a few exceptions, "the scholarship on lists remains fragmented". David Wallechinsky, a co-author of '' The Book of Lists'', described the attraction of lists as being "because we live in an era of overstimulation, especially in terms of information, and lists help us ...
