Continuing from the Blog-Post : Quote by Pablo Picasso - Part 1
Picasso was an artist that groomed in the classical tradition then influenced contemporary art his svelte manner using wide range of styles. Emphatic strokes, harsh vivid colors in his artworks exhibits his insatiable desires, volcanic energy and revolting attitude. As Picasso said, "I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them."
Picasso asks, "Who sees the human face correctly: the Photographer, the mirror or the painter?"
I see deep meaning in this quote but before that we must construe his thoughts hidden in his self-portraits.
The series of self-portraits and other creative works of Picasso reflects revolt in his mind in various guises, disguises and eventually emerging his grand persona.
What my mind could see by observing these autobiographical portraits and understand by his colloquial writing is something like this.
Mirror reflects all the details and triggers our self-awareness. For the same reason invention of mirror triggered our attention towards face and makeup. In spite of that we perceive very few facts of our face. Our Mind observes only what interests us. We can neither associated memory nor emotions with reflection as it is a momentary glimpse.
Cameras can imprint snapshot of the moment, thus a photograph may establish eternal connection with intense emotions, drama involved in that particular situation. It all depends on cameraman to delineate subject with dramatic lighting. Although Camera cannot peep into the emotional conflicts in the mind of subject.
A painter has freedom of thought which can be expressed using media. He can depict his views, feelings about subject in his own manner. Obviously, Painter illustrates whole drama where canvas becomes his stage, eloquent strokes becomes expressions and colors reveals emotions.

Well said Pravin,
ReplyDeleteThis genius is not only emphasized the wide variety of extraordinary art, also described the meaning of life through portraits.You can see the depth of emotions on his own portraits,but the peculiar thing what I can see on his faces is how those emotions conflicted with reality after years and decades.
