Pablo Picasso

nice colours.. nice design
is it an original?
The thing is, it is an exact copy of a graphic poster he did, maybe minus the text

Original and unique? Definately not. It sold for USD$2,000. I believe the image was licensed to a dress maker so it was a production piece. I know Picasso was in cahoots with Jean Charles de Castelbajac at that time - but the auction house would have said this was a Castelbajac to augment its value.

I will never forget the moment i saw Guernica for the first time.I just stood there in total aw and couldnt take my eyes off it,the array of emotions it provoked in me.I am not fan of his work in general though,i am more into Impressionism,but i also adore his Les Demoiselles d'Avignon.

Interesting how the sleeve in the poster became the back of the dress. Thanks, Gius!! It's wonderful to see the dress and poster together. I suspect that both the dress and the poster are from a painting.

I loved the blue period as a kid and still do.

^Oh! The three musicians
I really love this period when his style is bright and colourful like this
flat and highly patterned, simulated texture --everyone blends into eachother
and there's another painting with the same title as this

What fascinates me is Picasso's modernist take on classicism.

^ i had always wondered about that style
i wasn't sure where to pinpoint .. the style of the bodies
but the faces really look classic
the bodies more rounded , kind of cubist ..
thanks GB

Picasso and cubism is very fascinating. I just learned about him in art history class and it made me appreciate him more.

Has anyone heard the song "Pablo Picasso" by The Modern Lovers? The first time I heard it, I was in stitches laughing. I do recommend it.

Shoe designed by Pablo Picasso and fabricated by Perugia, late fifties. A small number were made as promotional items, this one given to an official in the French Ministry of Culture.

That shoe is AMAZING! The sole reminds me of YSL's star shoes that everyone's talking about.

I think Pilati did a clear refference to that shoe with those S/S stillettos, its uncanny.

I love his work but for some reason I think my favorite drawings by Picasso are the ones he did of Françoise Gilot. I've been obsessed ever since I first saw them
