Picasso exhibition
Comments(1) Today I went to “Museo Reina Sofia” in Madrid to see a temporal exposition about Picasso. It was interesting because the museum bring together lots of paintings normaly located in Paris and we could see a compact exposition with paints and sculptures of all the different stages of Picasso.What I dislike about this exposition is that it only showed paintings but there was no reference about the historical context in which they were painted, something critical in Pablo Picasso. There was nothing, not even a bibliography or historical reference of what “El Guernica” represents.
Nevertheless I learnt several interesting things. For example I always thought that Picasso was a cubism painter since the first moment he start painting but that’s not true. In his first years he painted like in the same way as all the others painters in their period. He suffer a progression and needed several years to invent cubism progressing from realistic forms to geometric forms.
The more interesting paint is without doubt “El Guernica” and the Museum devote lots of space to it. But I also liked two small paints about “The dream and reality of Franco”, one paint similar to “Fusilamientos del 2 de mayo” of Goya but themed in the Korean war and several small draws about explicit sex.
