Author:Music club Time:2022.08.02

Two days ago, the circle of friends was brushed. Picasso's "Women Writing Written" won 304 million yuan in the Jelly Impressionist and Modern Art Specialty in London, which was the creation of Picasso in Paris in 1934. In fact, most of the high -priced Picasso at the current auction house is also from Paris.

I have visited the Picasso Museum twice, and all of them were convinced by manuscripts, paintings, sculptures, and devices. As the British art historian Gongbrish said: "Faced with great art works, it seems that every time you look at it, they seem to be as deep as living people." Close is the famous Picasso.

Needless to say, France witnessed Picasso's glory. On the other side of the Billy Mount, the Picasso's birthplace, the Spanish that had allowed Picasso to escape but could not give up, also left us a lot of titles. Missing Spain, undoubtedly missed the integrity of cognitive Picasso.

Meet "Gelneyca" in Madrid

One day in 1941, the Nazis broke into Picasso's studio unreasonably and turned around. Someone picked up a postcard from the table and asked the painting printed on it and asked, "Is this your masterpiece?". "Not me", Picasso replied, "This is your masterpiece, take a commemoration." The postcard was printed on "Gelnica".

The mother of Yangtian Bei, the death baby, the soldiers who held the sword, the horror -shaky horse, the violent bull, that afternoon in 1937, the town of Gelnica, who suffered more than 5,000 bombs attacked by the German army, appeared like this. In front of you. Some people say that "Gelnica" is the most serious moment in Picasso's artistic career. It is a rare artillery fire in Picasso, and even the most important work in his life. Today, Gelnica has been collected in the Museum of National Art Center Museum in Queen Sophia, Madrid, Spain. It is one of the most important pilgrimage places of Picasso fans.

No matter how many times you have seen this masterpiece in the picture and books, no matter how well you know the details in the painting, if you have the opportunity to stand in front of this 27 -square -meter masterpiece, the deterrent anger and sadness I can't help but penetrate all your senses. The huge exhibition hall is always full of audiences, and the huge painting is silent before.

In February 2003, U.S. Secretary of State Powell proposed forces to interfere with Iraq in the United Nations. At the press conference, a blue large cloth covered the background wall. After that cloth, it was a copy of "Gelnica" that made them feel embarrassing. "This is the highest praise of artistic power." Historian Simon Saka once commented "You can be the biggest power in the world, you can send troops to attack others or overthrow the tyrants, but in the face of art masterpieces, you still you still do you still Be willing to worship the wind. "

It is an honor to meet Gelneyca.

Meet 58 "Gong'e" in Barcelona

At 15th Monte Cada Street, Barcelona, the medieval stone road is connected to the brown brick wall, and the entrance of the Barcelona Picasso Museum is hidden in a narrow road of only 2 meters wide. Although Paris gathered the masterpiece of Picasso's heyday, it was the only museum that Picasso personally hoped to build when he was alive. After all, Picasso is the homeland that Picasso is difficult to give up and return to the last period.

"I can draw like a master in a short time, but I have to learn to paint a child like a child for a long time." Picasso once said, and in this museum, you can see him with your own eyes. Essence

If you want to know the Picasso when you were young, it will be the best choice here. Here you can see the talented Picasso who was talented when he was in the teenager. His talent, his weaknesses, his puppets, and his pursuit, so you understand why Picasso becomes Picasso.

More importantly, Picasso's 58 variants created based on the masterpiece "Gong'e" are also collected here.

This is the work of Picasso at the age of 76 in 1957. Although he was old, Picasso, who created freedom, was not scattered and could even be regarded as rigorous. "The artists are always extremely picky. There are about hundreds of hue and shapes on his canvas that must be balanced until they seem to be" appropriate. "He may be distressed, or he may meditate all overnight, or stand all day all day long. Before the painting, find a way to add a color here and erase it. Although you and I may not be aware of the difference between the two. However, once he succeeds, we all think that the realm he has reached is very suitable , Can't change it, that is the perfect model in our hearts. "

As Gentibrich said, these variant sketches made us see Picasso in the creation, and saw the repeated scrutiny, inquiry and experiments of each detail of "Gong'e" before completing the entire painting. In 1968, Picasso personally donated the entire painting series to the museum, which was the only series that Picasso was completely retained and displayed together.

In Barcelona, meeting 58 "Gong'e" is a kind of understanding.

Meet Picasso on Porcelain on Valencia

The Valencia National Ceramics Museum is located in the Malgs Palace of Valencia. This gorgeous Rococo architecture itself is a artwork that cannot be missed. It used to be a private house of Marquis in Spain, and the internal luxury is like a palace. Later, on the basis of private collection, it became the largest ceramic art center in Spain. That year, Valencia held a ceramic exhibition and sent three hangers in Picasso in France. Nowadays, they still stay in the window of the museum and accept the attention of tourists from all over the world. Compared with Picasso's gorgeous and mature paintings, Picasso's ceramic art is childish and innocent in his later years. Some people commented: "Picasso's ceramic art in his later years can actually reflect his skillful styling ability that he is doing together with nature and has high aesthetic value."

Perhaps on the carrier of ceramics, Picasso's goal of "painting like children" is completely achieved. Whether it is a plate, crock, vase, sculpture, the whimsical and unexpected works penetrate the natural and warm atmosphere.

It is particularly recommended that there is also the display and guidance of this museum: many exhibits are directly arranged in the scene of life; two staff members wearing traditional Spanish costumes to shuttle, as if they are their living space, their scenario -style style, their scenario -style style The vivid performances tell the purpose, source, history and artistic value of these exhibits.

There have been many audiences around them, especially children, and follow their performances in the exhibition hall; they will also interact with the audience, ask some questions, enjoy art works or hold a ball together. Such a unique person can't help but admire: the education of culture and the inheritance of culture are so vivid.

In Valencia, I met Picasso on the porcelain, and the moisturizer of art communication was silent, and the harvest was infinitely emotional.

......................

The pearls on Spain and the Iberian Peninsula have undergone changes. The Bascus, Romans, West Gothians, Moorists, and Arabs have been stable in this land and left a variety of civilizations. And Spain cleverly merged these diverse, and first accepted modern art with an inclusive mind. It is such a land that bred the art master that affects the world: Burello Picasso, Venetian Kaz, Francisg · · · · · Goya, Salvador Dali, Miro.

Today, in the 18th century, Picasso was the curator, one of the three major museums in Europe, and one of the three major museums in Europe, and collected the most comprehensive and authoritative art museum in Spain, we can still feel the cultural charm of this country's constant conservation , Cultural self -confidence, cultural pursuit.

Perhaps we have no way to stop the passage of time, but the museum is probably possible. Walking in it, it seems to be strolling in the time of the time to seal. The vision and historical touch of those arts are so lively and real, so you can't help but think and explore: Where we come from, where will we go. This is the power of art and the power of humanity.
