“He is a giant of the 20th-century art,but that doesn’t mean he only did big paintings,”said Lynn Miller,director of Rochester Central Gallery,in an interview last Thursday.
Entitled “Picasso and His Drafts”,a special exhibit marking 50 years since the death of Pablo Picasso is held at the gallery this month.Instead of his paintings,the notebooks on which the Spanish legendary artist drew drafts are shown to the public for the first time.
Matchbox covers,postcards,restaurant napkins all served as drafting notes for the artist at moments of inspiration.It is important to know that each of the 14 notebooks presented reflects what was going on in his life.
For example,a tiny notebook whose size is just 3 by 5 inches stands out among the exhibits.Inside the little book was a self-portrait of the artist finished roughly in pencil,with deep and thoughtful eyes.It was done in 1918 and Picasso,then in his mid-30s,had just got married.He produced big-sized artworks but he also kept this tiny notebook around,filling it with scenes of his wife,their friends,the beach and the town,and drafts of upcoming paintings.Actually,many of the draft drawings are early versions of famed paintings like Les Demoiselles d’Avignon(1907) and Dora Maar in an Armchair(1939).
“He is a great artist of the modern period,and we see practice and determination in his notebooks,” said Lynn Miller,referring to Picasso’s efforts in improving his skills through copious drawing.Bernard Ruiz-Picasso,a grandson of Picasso’s,remembered him always drafting until the last piece of paper available.“My grandpa was permanently drawing something,” Ruiz-Picasso said.
In a documentary film shown at the gallery,Picasso,shirtless and in shorts,was standing on a ladder to reach the top of his canvas(画布).It reminds visitors of the real size of his masterworks.
