Picasso's drawing method with unit in 1932

 

Picasso tried to date all his works.

Anyone with the catalogs can see examples of all stages of finishing.

In the previous blog Picasso's geometrical spirit in 1932 invented syntactical device

 I wrote that he used the very advanced technique which I call the seventh stage of decoration.

Later, I discovered that "Seurat's Grand Judd" could be shown in the more advanced eighth stage model.

The work in 1932 Picasso must have reached the eighth stage.

Work 32-042 on the left has obviously well sculptural balance effect.

Let's take up the model I wrote before.

             Picasso 32-042 scaled model

The above illustration shows that

A)   The use of scale: limited number of circles for the arcs.

B)   the circles are bundled at several points.

Make a unit using the vertical and horizontal diameters of the circle and the outer frame.

Another well finished example is [32-o58], which looks almost like fine Persian miniature.

Since  the basic structure was traced over with a brush,

It is hard to notice that the lines have a geometric structure which produces an artistic effect.

Da Vinci's painting has the same design as Raphael, but it is difficult to understand.

 

Da Vinci's painting has the same level of advanced design as Raphael, but it is difficult to understand.

Da Vinci was interested in reproducing the appearance of nature, so

he often blurred the boundaries.

This technique is a photographic technique that has nothing to do with pure art.

Since the utility of Renaissance paintings was mainly anecdotes,

This blurring method was taken up by other painters to bring out the truth.

Da Vinci's Mona Lisa became more famous than any of Raphael's paintings

Rubens' formal importance is ignored.

Looking  at the pictures of Cezanne's mundane motifs,

Picasso realized that the essence of art was a line.

This is modern art in a formal sense.
