Picasso Exhibition
On Wednesday I visited the Picasso exhibition in edinburgh, I was excited about going but not about the long trip there. Once I got lost a bit I finally found it the grounds are lovely and was quite excited to see all Picassos work. The museum is split into different time periods in his life and with artist that have been influenced by his designs.
The first gallery I went into was a lot of his work from his blue period where he was depressed due to his friends death, he painted a lot of depressing subjects such as hungry looking woman. The first painting I came across was " Girl in a chemise", it was painted in his blue period I liked it because I feel it shows how he was feeling at this point in his life. Madeleine the model was a married lady who became pregnant by Picasso in 1905, the year this painting was done. She depicts the kind of subjects he liked to paint at this time as she looks very unhealthy as she's so skinny the colour palette is also very blue due to the time in his life.
This also marks the beginning of his rose period. As you can see, there are slight shades of pink in different areas of the painting. This suggests that some warmth was slowly beginning to enter his life, releasing him from the entrapment of solemnity.
ReplyDelete...Whether it was because of Madeleine, I don't know.
