|---|---|
Heralded as one of Picasso's more classic profile portraits, this Head of a Woman is shaped and contoured to the surface qualities of a suggested sculpture relief. Through its deep hues of gold and brown, both its highlights and lowlights are accented dramatically, giving the life-like illusion and recreation of Marie-Thérèse herself. Created in 1958, this image was created for a poster designated for an exposition of Picasso's sculptures and drawings during the same year at the Maison de la Pensée Française, Paris. The poster with the lettering was out of an edition of 800 while there was an additional edition of 150 featuring only the image without the text. This particular piece is numbered 111/150 and is numbered in pencil in the lower left margin. It is hand-signed by the artist in crayon in the lower right margin. Having been known to have had a number of muses throughout his lifetime, Picasso did not have one more significant to him than Marié-Thérèse. She was to be the inspiration for several of his works, including this particular lithograph aptly titled Head of a Woman. She faces toward the left of the frame, accenting her extremely unique and personable features - prominent nose, full lips, and defined cheek bones. While facing one way, however, she seems to retain our gaze, as her sharp eyes glimmer through the golds and bronzes of the piece and captivates us with her stare. Picasso's interesting technique can be noted further in the delicate waves of her hair, giving it an organic and fluid quality despite its solid and textured appearance. The image, based on one of the works in the exhibition, creates the illusion of being in relief and having the depth of a wall sculpture. Documentation/COA: About The Framming: | |

La biographie de Pablo Picasso
Pablo Picasso (1881 - 1973)
"Yet Cubism and Modern art weren't either scientific or intellectual; they were visual and came from the eye and mind of one of the greatest geniuses in art history. Pablo Picasso, born in Spain, was a child prodigy who was recognized as such by his art-teacher father, who ably led him along. The small Museo de Picasso in Barcelona is devoted primarily to his early works, which include strikingly realistic renderings of casts of ancient sculpture.
"He was a rebel from the start and, as a teenager, began to frequent the Barcelona cafes where intellectuals gathered. He soon went to Paris, the capital of art, and soaked up the works of Manet, Gustave Courbet, and Toulouse-Lautrec, whose sketchy style impressed him greatly. Then it was back to Spain, a return to France, and again back to Spain - all in the years 1899 to 1904.
"Before he struck upon Cubism, Picasso went through a prodigious number of styles - realism, caricature, the Blue Period, and the Rose Period. The Blue Period dates from 1901 to 1904 and is characterized by a predominantly blue palette and subjects focusing on outcasts, beggars, and prostitutes. This was when he also produced his first sculptures. The most poignant work of the style is in Cleveland's Museum of Art, La Vie (1903), which was created in memory of a great childhood friend, the Spanish poet Casagemas, who had committed suicide. The painting started as a self-portrait, but Picasso's features became those of his lost friend. The composition is stilted, the space compressed, the gestures stiff, and the tones predominantly blue. Another outstanding Blue Period work, of 1903, is in the Metropolitan, The Blind Man's Meal. Yet another example, perhaps the most lyrical and mysterious ever, is in the Toledo Museum of Art, the haunting Woman with a Crow (1903).
"The Rose Period began around 1904 when Picasso's palette brightened, the paintings dominated by pinks and beiges, light blues, and roses. His subjects are saltimbanques (circus people), harlequins, and clowns, all of whom seem to be mute and strangely inactive. One of the premier works of this period is in Washington, D.C., the National Gallery's large and extremely beautiful Family of Saltimbanques dating to 1905, which portrays a group of circus workers who appear alienated and incapable of communicating with each other, set in a one-dimensional space.
"In 1905, Picasso went briefly to Holland, and on his return to Paris, his works took on a classical aura with large male and fernale figures seen frontally or in distinct profile, almost like early Greek art. One of the best of these of 1906 is in the Albright-Knox Gallery in Buffalo, NY, La Toilette. Several pieces in this new style were purchased by Gertrude (the art patron and writer) and her brother, Leo Stein.
Picasso enjoyed creating his art on many media. From paintings to etchings to ceramics, all of his works are a testament to his skills. There are even Picasso prints that are worth more than unique original works.
