"Pinto as coisas como as imagino e não como as vejo."

Pablo Picasso

[Didem Gürpınar · Rating 5 out of 5]

National Geographic’in Genius serisinin ikinci sezonu Picasso’yu izledikten sonra bu kitabı okumanızı tavsiye ederim. Picasso’nun yaşadıklarını anladıktan sonra eserlerini ve hayatını bu kitaptan okumak çok keyifli oldu.

This book was a great crash course on the life and work of Picasso. When I go to a museum I love being able to look at a work of art and say that's a Monet or that's a Caravaggio and this book really helped me become more familiar with Picasso's work. And I didn't realize that Picasso didn't die until I was 2, so his work is really more contemporary than other artists I have read about.

Atminos sapni, kurā satiku Pikaso un viņš man teica kādu gudru domu, kuru es vairs diemžēl neatceros, taču pēc šī sapņa devos taisnā virzienā uz bibliotēku pakaļ šai grāmatai. Jāatzīst, ka arī iepriekš bija vēlme uzzināt vairāk par šo mākslinieku, jo viņa darbi man nekad nav bijuši saistoši. Tagad varu apgalvot, ka viņa māksla man vairs nav tik miglaina, taču vēl joprojām nevaru teikt, ka tā man ir mīļa. Pikaso, manuprāt, ir kā hameleons, kas izpaudies cauri visiem mākslas virziniem, tajā pašā laikā, atrodot savu stilu un paliekot par ģēniju.

Autores vienkāršā veidā izklāsta mākslinieka dzīvi un daiļradi. Viņas atsevišķi apraksta dažādus Pikaso dzīves posmus:

Agrīnie gadi - tēvs gleznotājs, pamanot dēla talantu, palīdzeja viņam to attīstīt. Jau 16 gadu vecumā Pikaso darbi tika aplūkoti nozīmīgās izstādēs. Pirmā personālizstāde notika Els 4 gats kafejnīcā, kurā pulcējās jaunie spāņu avangarda mākslinieki.

Ierašanās Parīzē - Parīzē jūtama pilsētas uzdzīves un Tulūza-Lotreka ietekme.

Zilais periods - vismelanholiskākais periods Pikaso dzīvē un darbos. Viņa gleznieciskā pasaule iekrāsojās zilajos toņos ar vientulību un skumjām.

Rozā periods - pozitīvas pārmaiņas personīgajā dzīvē. Šajā periodā galvenokārt attēloti cirka mākslinieki un pirmo reizi radīti skulpturāli darbi.

Kubisms - revolucionārajā gleznā ''Aviņonas meitenes'' pazūd dabas paraugs. Pikaso kopā ar Braku aizraujas ar jauno novirzienu - kubismu, kas pilnīgi pārrauj saikni ar māksliniecisko tradīciju. Kubismu iedalīja analītiskajā (priekšmetu sadalīšana līdz nepazīšanai) un sintētiskajā (atpazīstami krāsu laukumi un formas kompozīcijā).

Klasicisms - svarīgākais līnijas un apjoms. Dejas un drāmas pasaule. Robežu nojaukšana - masīvas sievietes, pārspīlēta anatomija.

Sirreālisms - eksperimenti ar formu, figūru atbrīvošanas no dabas. Šajā laikā tapis populārais darbs ''Sarkanais krēsls''.

''Barbarisma'' gadi - pasaulē notiekošo draudu ietekmē radīti darbi ar īpašu formu valodu, kas vēlāk nodēvēts par ''Pikaso stilu''.

Pēckara gadi - laiks, kad Pikaso slava pieauga vēl vairāk. Pasaules slavu ieguva viņa radītais miera simbols - litogrāfija ar balodi.

Vēlīnie darbi - nošķīries no ārpasaules, Pikaso izpaudās ar īpaši aktīvu gleznošanu, kurā uzmanība bija vērsta meistardarbu variācijām.

I have owned this book for many years but never actually read it. It was bought, as a companion to a book on Dali, to mark a visit to Harrods.

It gives a good overview of Picasso’s life and work. I particularly enjoyed the additional timelines showing what was happening in the world during every stage of the artist’s life and how that affected his work.

[The Badger · Rating 4 out of 5]

Excellent, especially Picasso's writings. And his art varies so widely: I'm truly only drawn to a few pieces--several sketches and Guernica, but the emotions they evoke are span the range from comfort and safety in my own body to rage and despair.

This little book takes you through all the important moments in the art and life of Picasso. It is very nicely structured and tell you all the information you need on a starting level at the very least.

Pablo Picasso: Vida e Obra
autoras: Elke Linda Buchholz e Beate Zimmermann

Este livro pequeno, da coleção miniguia de arte da Könemann, é barato e bom - é inacreditável como conseguem publicar livros com centenas de imagens a cores por apenas quatro euros e pouco. Se alguém quer uma introdução à sua obra é este o livro a ler.

Os livros de arte são difíceis de classificar. É um livro completo, refere as diferentes fases da pintura de Picasso, o contexto histórico e sobretudo quando Paris estava na vanguarda artística, as suas duas obras mais famosas - Guernica e as Demoiselles d' Avignon são explicadas em pormenor, menciona as suas mulheres e como estas influenciaram o que pintava na altura, possui um glossário no final, além de um índice com as obras e as pessoas mencionadas no livro que é muito útil - procurei Françoise Gilot, a única mulher que teve a coragem de o deixar, que faleceu este ano em junho e que escreveu um livro sobre os 10 anos que viveram juntos (que o meu pai comprou).

PS Vale a pena ler a review de Gita: abrangente, bem estruturada, que diz que Picasso era um camaleão, que pintou em todos os estilos mas, sendo um génio, criou o seu próprio.

The writer Elke Linda Buchholz’’s and Beate Zimmerman’s illustrated biography of Pablo Picasso was published in 1999. The book is a beautiful introduction to the “Life and Work” of Pablo Picasso. “Life and Work” is the book's subtitle. The book is part of the Art in Focus series. The book was translated from German into English by Christine Shuttleworth with the help of the firm named Goodfellow & Egan. Michelangelo lived between 1881 to 1973. Each of this short book's ten chapters begins with a timeline of events in Picasso's life and events in the World’s history during his lifetime. The book is only 91 pages, but the book covers a great deal of ground. The book does an excellent job of describing why Picasso’s work is significant. Picasso had a long, long artistic career covering many different genres. Picasso was a public artist from 1896 until his death (Buchholz, Zimmerman, & Shuttlework 10). The book discusses Picasso’s troubled relationship with his “Wives and Lovers” (Buchholz, Zimmerman, & Shuttlework 86-87). The book's audience is a general reader, so the book probably portrays Picasso’s relationship with women in a too positive light (Terol 2022). The book includes a glossary of terms used in the text. The book has large print text and is very readable. The book is a beautiful introduction to the “Life and Work” of Pablo Picasso.
