Picasso Guitar

This table Guitar done by Picasso in printemps1926 which is composed of strings, newsprint, mop and nails surtoile painted Aragon gave a pretext for the following thought: "Around the same time, he arrived as Picasso did something very serious. He grabbed a shirt dirty and he settled on a canvas with a thread and a needle. And as with him any runs guitar, it was a guitar, for example. He made a collage with nails coming out of the picture. "

This "serious matter" which speaks Aragon is in fact one of the strongest works, the most unyielding of the art of Picasso, as violence across expresses it, it seems to involve evil forces which is the magic inherent in the work of a painter.

This painting goes hand in hand with another guitar which is like its counterpart: in one, the nails are driven into the support, in the other, they aggressively kinds of table. Poverty the misérabilisme of these dirty and torn rags, one of which is torn cross-shaped, the other hole, the strings that transpercent paintings, nails and tears, it gives off a feeling of malaise, pain, and strange that gives these works the sacred dimension of horror.

None decorative curve, no charm of color, not just cruel soften the blow of this table. It's an expression of anger aggressive and powerful in a language that makes it painfully clear Penrose writes. Picasso had even thought of walnut razor blades on the corners of the field to what is cuts lifting the fingers.

The choice of fabric as the basic material and technology sewing, sewing needle with yarn and is a feature that is found in a series of small cardboard guitars with pieces of tulle, twine and nails, dating from the same period. A page of a book shows we also collected.

This dimension secret and magical works are confirmed in him and by his own statements. In an interview with CarltonLake, it is himself who made the rapprochement between his guitar and the paintings of Lascaux and Altamira

Pablo Picasso Women at their toilette 1938

This very large collage (448 X 299) is at the root of a draft tapestry done by wallpapers cut. Picasso draws in the wallpaper by cutting in color. Matisse resume this manner to do with his papers stuck in 1952. Picasso uses the power of suggestion formal and material. False walls are false bottom wood for the frame and the floor, the grounds for flower for the flowers.
The whole theme of this already worked by Picasso that of the headdress. A woman standing umbrella a woman sitting looking at himself in a mirror that he brings a third woman. C is a portrait reflected in a mirror. Should there see this painting as a painting where a collage of work that looks at the model into two distinct images of the reality and the reflection that of the imagination of the same fantasy? The big picture seems to be the problem of bonding assembly.

Aragon collage and Matisse - the sky cut 1965

When I see a lot of this great painter, he was in the period when it seemed like a game, it had already begun between two canvas, great season drawing to combine what had the air of sorts of models First, glue tables designed with assembly of coloured paper… Faced with new paintings by Morning "j Aragon had this childishness to talk about wallpaper, and I saw much of the eye froncement Matisse that his intention in my mouth as a pejorative expression. I had my desire to catch up. So I tried to erase the impression made m'excusant of inconsistency there was to learn the wallpaper, just the cut which was borrowed from color paper cut, not painted.

Because own collage matissiens was precisely to be collages of coloured paper, and non-representational objects…

Matisse me out that his collages were cut above all, it lay in that word then. Some painted cutouts. Because if the color was not provided in the table with a brush, she was prepared to gouache on paper sheets, in which the chisel draws afterthought. That was what Matisse insisted, and that rather than drawing drum, as in the earlier painting, always the first to color, rather than the design ménageât, cernât, "preparations" spaces that could have forms of flowers , objects, characters, on the funds, plans painted the composition, the color here was painted first, then cut, ie designed afterthought by the chisel, surrounded by the form of elements of the composition. So it was quite wrong to say, as I did, that the use of coloured paper replaced in the paint, the color chosen and implemented prior to the contrary had gouache dominant character here, it was also far from the collage that non-painted wallpaper, ie the false pretence.

The cut Matisse recréaient through other channels divine relations between objects in nature. It is no doubt that, for him, paste, which was often also pick up, with the variation of space and mass ratio then he brought to these areas combined, playing with them several times… paste was painted. Beyond even the fact that the paper had been cut materially painted by him.

Henri Matisse and art collage

A collage by Matisse, the black spots, they are the bugs and it did not completely stick the pieces which fall apart a little to accentuate the effect of movement. Extraordinary! The third great painter who it first used joining, it is George Braque and also Max Ernst, the Dada movement and Prévert. Matisse, will also employ the techniques of joining in its works. Indeed, it is? assistance of paper which it will build the bodies of the series of naked blue (1952).

Joining woman and monkeys (1952) are representative of this series of joinings. Matisse formerly prepared its tables with cut out papers but it will work out an autonomous technique only between 1943 and 1950. It takes large white blocks, painted with the gouache, cuts out there various forms which it then sticks on a white zone. Matisse gives following precise details about these joinings “cut out paper enables me to draw in the color, for me it acts of a simplication. Instead of tracing contours and to put at it couleurn one transforming the other, I draw directly in the color. This significance guarantees precise dissolves of the two means which are nothing any more but one. I do not advise absolutely this form of expression to be exerted. It is a result not a starting point. It supposes an infinite subtlety and a long experiment”. L artist named this method “to draw with scissors”. The compositions carried out thus are at the same time full with life, charming and solemn. At the beginning the talbeau Woman and Singe that Matisse conceived for its hotel room Regina in Nice were much smaller and showed only the sitted women and the grenades.

These monographs of a new kind propose to the young readers a significant and concrete approach of art. Each work approaches the life and the work of a painter - how it worked, of what it was inspired… - in a clear and ludic way, while always going to essence. With Art and the manner, we enter truly a work and we let us discover all the richness of it. Henri Matisse carried out an important part of his work by using the technique of cut out papers. By means of simple scissors, it manages to preserve same fluidity as with a brush. This simple technique seemingly - almost a play of child - makes it possible Matisse to capture the movement and to control the rate/rhythm. While playing with the lines and the colors, it gives rise to forms spontaneous, air, dancing… With cut out papers, the colors release, are expressed, and formed a universe full with freshness of movement and life… A universe which this work invites to discover. To cut directly in the color like a sculptor in the stone, only a 80 years Matisse which controlled at the same time the sculpture and painting could dare it. The process is very new. It been useful forever. It surprises everyone. The chromatic improvisations born from the scissors of Matisse and its gouachés papers reach from the start the goal which it always set: to make a success of the perfect synthesis of the line and the color.
