Black White Painting Picasso
The exhibition entitled "Picasso Black and White '(Picasso Black and White) that will last until January 23 next year that includes 118 paintings, sculptures and paintings on paper from 1904 to 1971 that focused on the exploration of Picasso with the two colors.
"This will be the first exhibition to discuss the use of black and white colors are continued throughout his career. Therefore we think this exhibit is a breakthrough," says Ricahrd Armstrong, Director of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and Foundation.
"We think this offers new insights into the creative character," added Armstrong, as reported by Reuters.
Paintings in the exhibition are arranged in chronological order starting from "La Repasseuse" - an oil painting on canvas of a woman whose gloomy was ironing years 1904 - to "The Kiss," the painting gray-black that settled a few decades later.
The exhibition also displays works by Picasso that have never been shown to the public and more than 30 works on display for the first time in the United States.
Curator Carmen Gimenez said the minimal use of color in the work of Picasso shows focus on lines, shapes, images, and atmosphere. "The Kitchen" (1948) is one of the paintings that contain all that; angles, circles, curves, and color variations of gray.
"His interest in the image and the line," said Gimenez.
Even in Blue and Pink Periods, said Gimenez, white and gray to be a recurring motif. The minimal use of color, he added, making intricate paintings of Picasso to set as black-and-white masterpiece "The Milliner's Workshop" which was borrowed from the Centre Pompidou in Paris.
"Black and white tends to be used in the composition of an ambitious and complicated," said Gimenez.
Even in Blue and Pink Periods, said Gimenez, black and gray are a recurring motif.
A little color, he added, could manage to make Picasso's paintings as masterpieces of painting intricate black and white, "The Milliner's Workshop," on loan to the exhibition from the Pompidou Centre in Paris.
"The Charnel House," a jumble of bodies with the quality of the primitive that reportedly inspired the photographic war in the newspapers, is the work of another major on display along with "The Maids of Honor," the largest of the 44 variations of Diego Velazquez's "Las Meninas" painted Picasso in California.
