Picasso Challenging the Past
25 February - 7 June 2009
"Disciples be damned...it's only the masters that matter. Those who create" Pablo Picasso.
This quote perfectly summarizes the leitmotiv of the first Picasso exhibition by the National Gallery, in London. Was Picasso an admirer of the European great masters, or was he a competitor ? I think the answer is both.
Seizing on the signature themes, techniques and artistic concerns of painters such as Velázquez, Rembrandt and Cézanne, Picasso transformed the art of the past into his own form of expression. The exhibition features over 60 of the artist’s seminal works and focuses on the enduring themes of European art history and his own career, with sections on the self portrait, characters and types, the nude, still life, models and muses and the artist’s later ‘Variations’. Every major period of Picasso’s oeuvre is represented with loans from among the leading public and private collections of Europe and North America.
The exhibition makes subtle reference back and forth between the works of Picasso and the National Gallery’sown incomparable collection of Old Master paintings, which is on display in the main rooms of the Galleryupstairs.
I particularly enjoyed the Velázquez's interpretation of Las Meninas which reveals again how intelligent was the original painting. The young artist first saw Velázquez’s Las Meninas when he was fourteen. Over 75 years later, he completed a series of deeply personal interpretations of the same painting – three of which are to be displayed in London – including The Infanta Margarita, 1957 (Museu Picasso, Barcelona). Picasso’s most powerful tribute to Velázquez’s genius, Las Meninas (after Velázquez), 1957 (Museu Picasso, Barcelona) depicts the 17th-century Spanish artist toweringover an astonishingly complex scene, with the authority of the ultimate master.
A group of four ‘Variations’ after Manet’s Le Déjeuner sur l’Herbe, painted between 1960 and 1961 (MuséeNational Picasso, Paris) provides another highlight of the exhibition. Now admired as a masterpiece, Manet’soriginal canvas outraged the 19th-century establishment.
All in all it's always a huge pleasure to see a Picasso's exhibition but I am slightly tired to see exhibitions of Picasso that put in parallel his inspirational painters. I remember well the Matisse /Picasso show in Paris at Le Centre Pompidou, a couple of years ago, and comparing Picasso with other masters seems like it's the easiest approach to his oeuvre.
This exhibition comes from Paris where it was held at the Grand Palais , and I believe it offered more space for the paintings.
Everyone likes tattoos because their appearance is rattling sweet and beautiful and presently they are full demanding condition and peoples of any age like to create tattoos on their body.
Its not true that every mortal need tattoos its wrong there are some peoples also available every over the concern who dislikes tattoos because I think those who dislikes tattoos thinks that tattoos are the symbol of craziness and funkiness, according to them those who is having tattoo on its body is a mortal of intense character.
Mostly girls likes tattoos more comparison to boys because I have seen that some girls having tattoos on their sensitive areas, tattooing is not a simples huge amount of pain occurs in tattooing but they take pain because of fury of tattoo.
Think how they adjust pain when they create tattoos on their sensitive areas it goes over of my head but its fact and proved because you will look examples of this kind of girls in searching or in reality.
This organisation is perceptibly meant to be a more masculine tattoo, with a rougher seem and darker graduation then the normal wings tattoo design. It comes off central hubs, which turn out to be a lock, and goes across the upper part of the back and wraps onto the shoulders. This organisation is not very normal, particularly with the lock. The edges of the wings have a rumpled look to them tattoos body and the graduation on the tips of the wings is more organisation manifest then regular.
One actually uncommon symptomatic of this tattoo is the lock. Most wings tattoos are meant to seem same they are sprouting out of the back, but this tattoo are screening that the wings are being held together with the lock. When most grouping conceive of aerofoil tattoos they conceive of designs that consist angel or fairies. But, actually this is a constraint of the aerofoil tattoo. 
There are another one that finds removed quite a taste this is the “youthful outlook” tattoo. You could have been angry and distrustful in your younger age instance or you may have been the butterflies and fairies type tattoos, but after the 15 years that outlook may seem like assorted lifetime and the tattoos that go with it seem like they belong to someone else.
There are you module get defferent type of tattoos, you module get geezerhood dependet tattoos. Tattoos color efecting in age, right geezerhood and right color locket well in body.
