Harpo Marx Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 In the past week or so I've been looking at some of Picasso's work intentionally for the first time. It's not that I didn't want to before, but rather that I was probably afraid of being overwhelmed. Needless to say, I was right. There's just something about his abstract work, almost as though it's a controlled insanity. The closest thing I can compare it to is something like grindcore, like As the Sun Sets. The first time you see it/hear it, it's jsut one big mass, that seems threatening. But then you stop, and you observe the tamed craftsmanship of chaos, almost to the point where it turns into something elegant, maybe. The work Ive seen blows my mind. There was one particular sketch of an abstract sort of face, but it had sort of a movie-type theme, with reels. It was interest to say the least. Another thing that gets me, is his talent in everything he did. If he wanted to put an idea down, he did. But at the same time, if he wanted to make a concrete, and defenite picture down, he could also do that too. amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ted Wakowski Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 I heard Picasso was pretty good as well. He has some stuff at museums in certain places. I think there's a book about him too. Word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, I just found out about Mark Ryden a couple of months ago, but i had actually seen his artwork in my room without even realizing it. For those of you who are Stephen King fans, he did the cover artwork for The Regulators/Desparation, which is a weird (but fucking dope) couple of books. And according to Spock on a program on the history channel, Gaugin was able to deter Van Gogh from stabbing him in the dark with "simply a stare." Food for thought.

SteveAustin Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 Have you seen his "design" stuff. He did lots of bad ass posters promoting shows and what not. Really cool stuff, in addition to all his fine art work. I've got a book on his posters only. Lovin' it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mental invalid Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 i guess it depends on your defintion of abstract and what particluar period of picasso youre discussing.... harpo i dont know how much you know, but the best aspect of picasso is his various stages of art, or paths if you will...one of the reasons that i study him is simply because of his growth an expansion....from the blue period to the cubist, he is always reaching....and that to me is the secret, never stop reaching....you can appreciate picasso the whole, if you look at picasso the parts....i could go on and on about how he has influenced me...its changed my view of line and the endless possibilities.... "mystery of picasso" is a movie shot looking at a silk screening and they place picasso behind the screen and when he paints the camera captures the other side, so all you see are strokes and lines just appearing out of white....everyone should peep it....its black and white from the 50s...i dont know where you find it now.... ive got more stuff lying around, notes and shit, ill see if i can dig em up....
