Picasso's works in this period are also called neoclassicism. Although the picture returns to three-dimensional modeling, its huge structure has a natural interest. The composition is concise, getting rid of complicated details, as if washing away the lead and returning to the original. The woman running on the beach (1922) below, how can the flamboyant life and enthusiasm not move people?
During this period, the rise of subconscious theory and the proposal of surrealism art school opened the door for Picasso's new exploration. In personal life, Picasso married Olga, the actress of the above ballet company, in 19 18. This marriage, which experienced passion and indifference, was silent for a while with the growth of son Paul, and then suddenly deteriorated. Ten years later, it seems to have reached the peak of misfortune. Olga began to have a slight mental disorder, which may have aggravated their marriage tragedy, or it may be the result of tragedy. In 1929' s The Woman in the Armchair, the female image has been completely deformed. The arms hanging in a closed room, crying loudly in pain, the posture of hands on the head, ugly fangs and jagged teeth, exaggerated and blunt sexual organs tell a woman's aggressive despair and a painter's troubles. The inner repression that classicism can't express is vented in such a surreal work, and Picasso is moving forward.
/kloc-Thales, 0/7 years old, came into his life at this moment. Picasso's unique front and side figure paintings are perfectly presented in Dream (1932). This painting combines cubism and classicism. The wonderful combination of color and modeling we see is the tranquility and elegance of Thai lace when it is sleeping. However, this painting reminds me of the Death of Kazakh Gemas painted by Picasso in his early years (190 1). The image on that side is very similar to Tyrus's. Does this indicate that the painter has some unspeakable thoughts, because Tyrus was pregnant at this time, and Picasso was proud of his creative ability, but at the same time he was overwhelmed by the anxiety of this little lover. He hoped to lose the child, and the side of death covered his abdomen.
Sadly, Therese has nothing but beauty, which can only be another tragedy for Picasso who seeks sustenance and dependence from women. 1937, Picasso divorced Olga, but put on new shackles. In the history of this year, the Spanish civil war has already broken out. On April 26th, on an afternoon as calm and warm as today, the German fascist air force raided an unsuspecting Spanish town of guernica. Disaster fell from the sky. The three-hour air raid caused 1654 unarmed residents to die and 889 injured. This international tragedy made the painter get rid of the conflict with women quickly. Anger and pain made him forget his depression and decadence. It took him only five days to create the world-famous guernica and record that painful moment forever. There are no planes, bullets and tanks in guernica, and the war is permeated with the blue-black tone of the whole picture. Cattle standing numbly, screaming at running horses, women running away, women falling rapidly in the fire and rubble, mothers crying at the sky with dead children in their arms, soldiers with broken arrows in their hands, and lights with eyes on in the middle of the picture, their significance has gone beyond appearances. According to Picasso's own explanation, the cow symbolizes cruel rule, the horse represents a suffering nation, four weak and sorrowful women are destroyed beauty and humanity, and that glimmer of light and half-handle broken arrow are eternal truth and courage. Picasso declared that he would donate this painting to the Spanish motherland after Franco's regime ended, and he would never return to Spain under tyranny. He fulfilled his promise with his own actions and never returned to his homesick motherland after his death. (Franco's regime ended two years after Picasso's death, alas! )
Gernik's success made Picasso, who was over 500 years old, rejuvenate again. Of course, love is the best gift. The image of Dora Mar, a female painter, began to appear under his brush. In the entanglement with many women, Dora, a loyal lover, accompanied Picasso for six years to comfort this fragile and sensitive old man in the shadow of World War II. However, love will not last long because of loyalty. For Picasso, it is only the body that grows old forever. The last love brought a young female painter, Francois. This relationship lasted for 10 years, which brought Picasso a son and a daughter, but ended with the rebellious Fran? ois leaving voluntarily, which greatly hurt Picasso's self-esteem. It is worth mentioning that a woman named Jacqueline took over Picasso at the age of 7 1. This woman who idolizes blindly and wants to possess him annoys Picasso and even wants to drive her away. However, Jacqueline, who is determined and will not give up until she reaches her goal, seems destined to take over Picasso's class. In a word, the old guy finally surrendered and married this brave woman in 196 1, and spent the rest of his life under her care as a victory for the woman who finally won.
In Picasso's later works, I like some sculptures, fiddling with the materials at my fingertips, and being humorous and interesting beyond words. For example, this "goat" (1950) said, "Its back is palm leaves, its pregnant belly is a wicker basket, its hoof is made of wood and scrap iron, its tail is made of iron, its horns and whiskers are made of vines, and its ears are made of cardboard and breasts. Isn't it cute?
Picasso showed me the freedom of art and the boldness of life. There is always a constant questioning and staring at life in his eyes. In countless explorations and attempts, he explained the meaning of life. Love, beauty and creation will never die.
