You may not utter the names of these paintings, but definitely familiar:
Then the mind naturally emerge out of this face:
It is said that he would draw before talking, life say the first word is not a mother or father, but "pencil." This seems to be the fate, Pablo Picasso, is destined to become one of the most notable artists of the century.
These details come from Picasso's mother's mouth, there may be exaggerated and mystify natural ingredients, however, this occurs only in legends Picasso body. April 8 a few days ago is Picasso died the day (1881-1973) to commemorate the many genius is always slower than the pace, let us talk about Picasso's five stories, legends or facts intertwined, so that the rear Cubism pioneer in the memory of people more fuller.
1. This should be true: Picasso's famous Louvre before had been stolen works of art. He was also accused of stealing the "Mona Lisa."
In 1911, authorities in London discovered two ancient Iberians have Picasso statue, his acquaintance Gary Pierret four years ago, stolen from the Louvre out. (At the time, Gary Pierret is Picasso's friend, the poet Guillaume Apollinaire playwright secretary.) Despite claims that he does not know Picasso sculpture was stolen, but according to historian Silvia Lorry Ti and art history professor Noah Charles Tierney, who studied in recent years, Picasso sculpture very clear source, and most likely a nod to theft. Today, this has become a story with a little romantic "sculpture scandal."
Richard Tierney in the paper, "Pablo Picasso, art thieves" in that there is "beyond the scope of rational skepticism," Picasso is the initiative to seek help for thieves collections. Such doubt partly from stolen Picasso sculpture is in line with the tastes, and intends to exhibit similar Picasso exhibit when hiding two pieces of sculpture.
Richard Tierney further explained:
"Picasso was a frequent visitor to the Louvre, and the madness of worship Iberian art, that the latter is the source of Spanish art therefore can not believe that he would not know Greg Pierret to show him the head of a statue provenance. It says is even more unbelievable coincidence: Gray randomly selected steal a pair of statues happens to be the heart of love Picasso, but also dedicated to the Spanish contingent. "
Apart from such a small storm, Picasso also faced more serious charges. As the "New York Times" article pointed out, Apollinaire and Picasso then belong to a small circle, the two men were accused of stealing Leonardo da Vinci masterpiece "Mona Lisa." At the trial, Apollinaire - that once made "burn the Louvre," declared man (intended to completely break with tradition) - the charges pushed to Picasso. They were eventually released. Until two years later, the site was found Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece in the Louvre a former employee of a small apartment.
2. the age of nine, Picasso completed the first piece of work "horseback Matador"?
Picasso very small, under the guidance of painter father, completed the painting "horseback Matador", when he was only nine years old.
A few years later, Picasso entered his father taught at the art school in Barcelona, and soon there rented his own studio. In 1895, 14-year-old Picasso in his studio completed "on a large painting Institute", later called "first communion."
Picasso, 13 years old, his father announced that it has to give up his painting career, because obviously, Picasso's talent has been overshadowed by his father.
3. Picasso will carry a blank ammunition revolver, shot in front of his mind fool
Historian Arthur Miller in "Einstein, Picasso: Space, Time and causing civil unrest in the United States" that Picasso by French Symbolist writer Alfred lied Array influence, which was seen as surreal and futuristic pioneer, absurdist can be traced back to this. Array Picasso influence not only in the creative aspects, including lifestyle. Carry a loaded revolver is one of the quirks.
Picasso once seemed to imitate Alice, a Browning revolver leave the body, the magazine is empty. Miller explained:
"He will be in front of those paintings painstakingly I guess connotation admirers shot, there are those who try to speculate on its aesthetics, or any dare profane Cezanne in his mind status. Like Alice, like Picasso as a pistol absurd metaphysics weapons play Ubud Wang (Theatre of the absurd Array creation "Ubud king" in the role), in reality, in order to face life's bourgeois laity, stupid and philistine. "
On unsuspecting people, "the king of Ubud" is a role Array early dramatic works. In this drama, and their sense of Ubud was a dialogue: for example, geometry and other scientific needs in the extent to dialogue with art, as Nietzsche has just announced the death of God, Alice believes that artists need to fill this gap epistemology.
Picasso did not know how to think.
4. Picasso "re-discovered" Henri Rousseau (French post-impressionist painter), he identified the latter's artistic cultivation is very bad, before that, Rousseau has been considered excellent. Picasso held a special meeting to scoff at Rousseau's creation, but because helping Rousseau quickly became famous. ?
The artist Henri Rousseau have done customs taxman, it is also referred to as "the taxman Rousseau." He lived most of Rousseau not been viewed as artists, most only get a brief recognition of the Paris avant-garde. So, how he "was discovered"? Writer Pawe Soszyski detailed account of Rousseau "was found" process: the famous Picasso gradual early, specially held a fun party to ridicule and false celebration of Rousseau, which greatly changed the the creation of the "sleeping Gypsies "historical status painters.
Picasso claimed he was a teenager in a scrap shop found Russell's works, Rousseau was unknown, and older than Picasso. This unexpected discovery, slowly evolved into a bored irony, but was disguised as views. Picasso began to invite Russell to enter their own circle of friends, unknown to the enthusiasm of Rousseau in addition to gratitude for this, can not imagine how a mockery of nature behind. Because he is very confident in his own talent, and need an audience.
In 1908, Picasso had become wealthy decided to hold a lavish party at the residence, which is a grand ceremony, flags and various other decorations to create a warm atmosphere, like the French Independence Day celebrations. Rousseau was invited, along with other artists dedicated party transactions, the majority of those present were aware it was a joke. Party atmosphere warm, drink down a number of art critics. This party later became a part of many art circles legend.
Rousseau drunk this party is convinced his own glory, it is said, when the end of the night, he put Picasso aside and said: "You and I are the greatest painters of this era," "You are Egypt style, modern style and I am! "
5. During World War II, Nazi officials raided a Paris apartment of Picasso, see the photograph of the famous "Guernica" pictures hanging on the wall, he asked Picasso: "This is your painting?" Picasso replied: "no, it is you."?
The story may be a bit exaggerated, but Picasso lived in Paris during World War II this right. There are rumors that because Picasso secretly helping the French Resistance forces, the Gestapo decided to raid the residence of Picasso in Paris. Picasso room, a Nazi officer saw hanging on the wall painting by a famous painting "Guernica" photos, full of disgust and asked: "This is your painting?" Picasso replied succinctly: "No ,It's you."
Another similar story is told, the Nazis wanted to supply coal for heating Picasso, Picasso refused, he said:. "Spaniards never feel cold."
In 1973, 91-year-old Picasso's death, published in the "New York Times" on the beginning of this obituary: Picasso is "20th century art giants." Was a curator is preparing an exhibition, the artist plans to show more than two hundred works of the last period, of course, including Picasso. In his view, the last years in the life of Picasso works created apparently "less of distortions" become "softer." Today, there are still four Picasso ranked "the most expensive of 15 paintings": "Dream," "Take the pipe boy", "Nude, Green Leaves and Bust," and "Dora Maar with Cat".
