Pablo Picasso
Spanish 1881-1973
Nude With Joined Hands 1906 Oil On Canvas
The William S. Paley Collection
Picasso was inspired to make nude with joined hands by his mistress Fernande Olivier while the two were on holiday in Gosol, Spain. The Flesh Tones and the background possess a shimmering, almost watercolor-like transparency, and the refinement of the facial features reflects the artist’s interest in classical art.
I choose this image because I found out that Picasso was the painter. I did encounter him in my early education, I meet him with the quote “Good artists copy, great artists steal”. From what I was able to obtain, I discovered that Picasso made this painting refers to the Neoclassicism, with means ” New of the highest rank” which was a classical antiquity for the time.
The picture has some Roman qualities, with Picasso had obtained while studying Iberian sculpture. Picasso in the picture was trying to show something more than a naked body but the mirrors of humanity, reflecting us the mind, body, and soul.
The picture has different definition view from the period, We are able to see a movement from the old culture to the classical culture. While other painters were focused on showing the misfortune of the people and tragedies, Picasso focused more on the inner and outer part of the body. Showing the viewer a new perspective of looking a human body. I saw other Arts made by Picasso and most of them are nudes and erotic. I wonder myself if Pablo Picasso was really trying to satisfy its audiences giving them a prohibited taste, or he was an old dirty man.
