Before any trip to an art gallery or museum, it is wise to bone up on your art knowledge.
At
some point in our education almost all of us took a course in art
appreciation, usually at the same time when our grade point average
needed a turbo-boost — art being the easiest "A" in your academic career
— after Finger Painting 101. Art exams have two parts: “Name This
Artist” and “Comment on this Work.” Identifying artists is easy because
of a long-held artistic tradition of signing one’s work. (It's a good
idea to bring a magnifying class to the exam.) The comment section is
simple because there are no right answers. Only the most arrogant
professor would insist there’s no way you could see a cat pondering the
universe in a Jackson Pollock painting.
The
history of art is a sequence of Periods, called that because the
artists of the time felt the technique they practiced was the final word
in artistic expression. In the words of the famous artist Joan Miro, “Thisis
Art. Period!” These movements had specific names such as Expressionism,
Pointillism, Impressionism, Cubism and enough other -isms to evoke
Excedrin Headache No. 4. There’s also Renaissance Art, Baroque Art,
Modern Art, Paint-by-the-Numbers Art and, Self-Expression.
Individual
artists had their own periods, spelled with a small “p” to evade
charges of artistic arrogance — like Picasso had his blue period and his
pink period because it’s a lot cheaper to buy paint by the tank
carload. Picasso would buy 20,000 gallons of blue paint and when he had
finished using that he’d buy 10,000 gallons of pink or whatever color
was on sale. No one knows why Picasso was such a penny pincher as he
marked his work up 3 zillion percent over the cost of materials. This is
known as artistic license.
Art
started in caves. To break up the monotony of depressing gray cave
walls, early artists drew charcoal pictures of bulls with horns, men
with spears and mothers-in-law with mustaches. Television was later
invented as another solution to the bare-wall problem.
Initially,
art painted on walls had a serious drawback: if your picture was a
little off plumb, you had to walk around with your head slightly askew.
This plumbing problem led to the invention of painting on canvas
stretched over a frame. Today, if a picture is crooked, a flick of the
finger rights it.
In
terms of materials, after graphite and colored chalk came watercolor,
followed by oil paint, which remained popular until OPEC was formed. At
that point, many artists shifted to acrylics, which have two advantages:
brushes are easier to clean and, being oil-free, they don’t adversely
affect our nation’s balance of payments or endanger the habitat of any
Alaskan wildlife. Today, it’s acceptable to use anything as artistic
materials: garbage, sticks and stones, old clothes, automobile parts,
recycled leftovers and shredded divorce settlements.
a girl barefoot sitting the middle of the screen, staring ahead, his hands folded put in the red dress on, realistic clothing folds and facial luster, as if Raphael’s true mass; another picture, a woman’s body is distorted deformation of the head and chest were simplified as spherical, facial features, it is difficult to identify. With figurative and abstract, planar and three-dimensional, two painting styles and even antagonism, it is difficult to believe from the same handwriting – renowned modern artists of the 20th century, Picasso.
for this two “barefoot girl” and “take the red armchairs woman”, as the exhibits of the Paris National Picasso Museum of Art from the Museum Collection “is now on display at the Hong Kong Heritage Museum from May 19, the public can to see the artworks.
“‘change’ throughout Picasso’s life, his daring, holding absolutely open attitude to every kind of art style, his art is revolutionary.” Picasso Museum of Art curator Anna • Balda Sally news agency reporter said that the hope that the public can see and learn this through the Hong Kong exhibition.
Life of Picasso created more than 30,000 works of art, Picasso Museum of Art collections of these, more than 5000 pieces, the exhibition in Hong Kong, 49 paintings and seven sculptures, traces the artist spans more than 70 years creation, covering the period of work of the blue, pink, original, three-dimensional, neo-classical, surreal and so on.
In addition to the works of art, the exhibition at the same time display dozens of Picasso’s private file photo, video, and audio data, including the photographer Robert Capa Picasso and her lover to capture the “decisive moment”. Curator Anna also remind visitors pay attention to paintings to the wall top, there is the interpretation and perception of Picasso created, such as “For me, creation is the sum of the damage. I paint immediately after tearing it to destruction”.
“artistic language, Picasso academic, original paintings, Africa and Oceania painting ‘dialogue’, he has been in-depth study of Chinese painting is now in the 21st century, we still need to learn from Picasso’s open Baarda Sally, Anna, comments, and Picasso himself says “I have no style,” echoed.
Picasso said, “I’m painting like someone else to write autobiography, his work not only reflects the changing times and the impact of social, also outlines of a friend, lover, father, artist and celebrity equal to the life of a trajectory. In the pre-show, heard six of the seven lover of Picasso “hiding” the Hong Kong Exhibition of paintings, the media showed great interest.
the exhibition publicity materials cover the selection of a portrait, a strong color contrast, highly visual impact, the sitter is one of Picasso’s lover Dora • Martha. Interestingly, the same in 1937, Picasso was just another lover Mary portrait. The two paintings are now adjacent juxtaposition of “peaceful coexistence”.
the exhibition has become the city event. Its Impressionist exhibition in 2008, organizers also expect a two-month exhibition period, is expected to refresh the 300,000 Hong Kong exhibition attendance the highest.
Hong Kong Heritage Museum curator Zheng Huantang pointed out, this is Hong Kong has always been the largest and most diverse exhibition of Picasso, 56 exhibits a total valuation of $ 6.7 billion Hong Kong dollars, most of them never left the artist’s studio and museum. The traveling exhibition at the Picasso Museum of Art planned specifically for the Asia, following Taipei, Shanghai and Chengdu, Hong Kong is China’s last leg. “The next 30 years.” Curator Anna seemingly joke word, points to the exhibition of a rare opportunity.

Slideshow
All Pablo Picasso artworks in chronological order
Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) once said: "Art is a lie that tells the truth." And although 48 oil paintings, seven prints and seven sculptures may be a drop in the ocean of the Spanish artist's 37,000 or so artworks, that's the number of original Picasso's that are on show from this month, the largest ever exhibited in Shanghai.
The Barefoot Girl
Cubist pioneer
This will be the first China showing for these works by one of the most creative artists of the 20th century and the founder of the Cubist art movement. The China Pavilion at Expo Park is playing host to these 62 masterpieces during the three-month exhibition. The works have been loaned as part of a fund-raising effort on behalf of the works' custodians at the Musée Picasso (Picasso Museum) in Paris, which is financing a major extension of its premises.
For ordinary art lovers in Shanghai, it affords a rare opportunity to appreciate some of Picasso's most important works without having to leave the city. So far, attendance numbers have averaged 3,000 people per day at weekdays and up to 10,000 per day at weekends, according to organizers.
Woman in an Armchair
Picasso the master
Occupying a total exhibiting space of 18,000 square meters, the show is composed of seven sections displaying Picasso's works throughout his varying creative periods. There are another eight sections featuring 50 photographs documenting Picasso's life, as well as his own photographic works.
Picasso's artistic periods include the Blue Period (1901-1904), the Rose Period (1905-1907), Analytic Cubism (1909-1912) and Synthetic Cubism (1912-1919). Among Picasso's early works, The Barefoot Girl was finished when the painter was only 14 and remained one of his favorite pieces. Other female portraits feature a number of his lovers including Portrait of Dora Maar and Sleeping Woman with Shutters. In the abstract work Woman Sitting in a Red Armchair, Picasso used exaggerated and distorted shapes and strokes to express feelings of pain and suffering. In the painting Paulo with Pierrot Picasso painted his son dressed as a clown.
Walking from one room to the next, visitors are able to view Picasso's works chronologically. Between each section there is a dividing wall featuring a portrait of the artist at the time, and an introduction to the works contained therein. There are also photos from his daily life.
Apart from an audio guide to rent and a free guided tour every hour, the exhibition organizers have also arranged a series of free lectures from November onwards. Fine art experts will be invited to talk about Picasso's art and their personal interpretation of his works.
Sleeping Woman with Shutters
It was back in 1983 that the first Picasso paintings were exhibited in Shanghai. And 28 years later, the arrival of these 62 works is thanks to the fact the same pieces were recently shown at a Picasso exhibition in Taiwan, according to Xie Dingwei, curator of the exhibition and general manager of Shanghai Tix Media which organized the show.
"When I heard the exhibition would be stopping in Taiwan on its world tour, I proposed the idea of holding an exhibition in Shanghai to the Musée Picasso via the organizer in Taiwan. And we finally achieved it," Xie told the Global Times.
The exhibition is entirely commercially-operated, with no government funding, and the fee paid to the Musée Picasso for the works came to more than one million Euros. The money has all been provided by sponsors and partners. "We expect anywhere between 500,000 and 600,000 people to attend during the three-month exhibition," said Xie. He added that merchandise at the exhibition shop would also help towards covering the fees.
