The Mocha Art Center in Beijing is exhibiting "Picasso Like a Child," and after watching the exhibition, I can't help but think of the lyrics of the song "Forgive me for my life of debauchery and love of freedom."
The exhibition is divided into the main area and the outreach area, exhibiting 52 slate engravings, 28 original linoleum prints, 10 original copper plate etchings and 10 ceramic works created by Picasso.
The main exhibition area includes Picasso's blue period, pink period, Cubism period, middle and late works, as well as seven parts of the middle and late linoleum prints, Picasso's autographed print series, and ceramic works.
The favorite punch point in the exhibition hall is his famous painting "Dream", which is photographed with his lover "Mary" on the photo frame. Mary was so beautiful, like a dream. I have never understood why they can only become Picasso's lover for the rest of their lives. At the beginning of 1927, the 47-year-old Picasso met Teresa, a 17-year-old girl with blond hair and a plump body, at the railway station, fell in love at first sight, and painted this "dream" for her. Another 17 years later, the 64-year-old Picasso said in her birthday letter: "Today is your 17th birthday, although you have passed twice as many years. In this world, meeting you is the beginning of my life. "Love letters are beautiful, reality is harsh. In 1935 Mary gave birth to Picasso's daughter Maya, and their relationship ended in 1936 when Picasso met his new lover, Dora Marr. Later stories are even more tragic, when On the 50th anniversary of her encounter with Picasso, Mary hanged herself in a garage.
Another shocking one is the portrait of Curie, this is the first time I have seen Picasso's Marie Curie, Marie Curie is painted angular, very masculine, completely subverting my cognition.
In 1950, Picasso painted The Flying Dove for the World Peace Congress in Warsaw. The Old Testament, Genesis records that after the flood of antiquity, Noah released a dove from the ark and asked it to find out whether the flood had receded, and God let the dove return to the olive branch, indicating that the flood had receded and there was still hope in the world. At that time, the famous Chilean poet Neruda called this dove of hope "Peace Dove". Neruda said: Picasso's dove of peace spreads its wings and flies in all parts of the world, and no force can stop them from flying. What is Neruda's famous work? I don't know much, but I remember a fragment of another of his poems: "Sometimes a piece of the sun, like a coin burning in my hand." I remember you, my heart clutched, in the sorrow you know. ”
