Review: Picasso, the first museum exhibition in 1932

the Kunsthaus Zurich will continue until 30 January 2011, the exhibition "Picasso The first museum exhibition 1932 "instead. The illustrated book is the catalog to this exhibition.

The English painter, graphic artist, sculptor, ceramicist and sculptor, Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) is the innovator and at the same time most outstanding representative of the painting 20th century. The first Museumsrespektive the artist was in 1932 in Zurich. The book tells of the genesis of the exhibition and illustrates its influence on the history of the artist, and their exemplary role regarding the relationship between artists, art dealers, museums and other similar institutions in the 20th century. It also contains the complete reconstruction of the epochal exhibition. This will give the reader already in the blurb.

After a word from the sponsor, these are for the Credit Suisse and an illuminating foreword by Christoph Becker of essays follow:

Tobia Bezzola: "The retrospective retrospective exhibition."

This essay corresponds with the views of the Picasso exhibition at the Kunsthaus Zurich in 1932, which follow thereafter. It concerns with the views to take photos of installation views at that exhibition.

In this essay we learn among other things, that individual Paintings such as "The man and woman" were incorporated from the collection of Bernhard Mayer, Zurich and four sculptures until ten days after the opening in the painter by the Ticino Sigismund Righini (1870-1937) decorated and designed exhibition. The four rooms on the ground floor, in which about 100 drawings and were also issued many etchings and lithographs, the public were made available only much later, (see: p. 36).

Very interesting I find the descriptions Geelhaar with respect to a particular controversy, the exhibition because of an essay by the psychologist and psychotherapist Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961), who appeared on the final day of the exhibition at the Neue Zürcher Zeitung arose. Young Picasso assigns to the group of schizophrenics, "the images produced, which immediately reveal their sense of realism. They communicate in any event no coherent, harmonious feeling, but feeling any contradiction or even complete numbness. Formally, there is the character of the inner conflict before, which is expressed in the so-called fault lines, a sort of psychological rejection columns that run through the image "(to quote Jung. p.38).. We learn in the episode as individual personalities in those days to the comments guys have reacted to read. This is very exciting.

Following works are presented from 1899 to 1912. The exhibits in the book and printed works from 1899-1912 including the one in blue shades of oil painting "Melancholy". In this and all other paintings shown in each case we learn when they arise, what size they have in the original and where they normally hang. From his "blue period" will show you the painting "Woman in the shirt" from 1905, even cubist paintings, such as "The Poet" in 1912.

Simonetta Fraquelli: "Picasso retrospective at Galeries Georges Petit, Paris 1932 A response to Matisse.."

The exhibition will be interpreted very well. The interpretation of results it can be seen the headline of the essay. Moreover, Picasso created from December 1931 to April 1932 30 new paintings, 22 of them specially for the exhibition, (vgl.S.82). The exhibition is said to have left a great impression. Picasso's primary goal was his to present recent works as an extension of his artistic achievements of the past. This is succeeded as Fraquelli stresses.

Following are photographic views of the Picasso exhibition at the Galeries Georges Petit, 1932 and works from the years 1912-1926, including the wonderful painting "Girl with frost of 1919, his" Woman with a Blue Scarf "from 1923 and" Making Music Harlequin "from 1924.

Michael FitzGerald: After 1932: From the retrospectives in Paris and Zurich to "Guernica".

Here we read of the change of Picasso, for only five years after the shows in Zurich and Paris, he created "Guernica" is the first work of his series of important political works. FitzGerald believes that if the paintings of 1931-32 is considered accurate, we can certainly find similarities with the paintings of the late 1930s, (vgl.S.136) and to that extent the change relates only to the influence of Dora Maar was due, as is often claimed.

learns a result we know works from the years 1927-1932. What impresses me is the oil painting "Nude on the beach", which allows many patterns of interpretation. Monster seems ironic to me "The Yellow Belt: Marie-Thérèse Walter" in 1932. His painting "Resting" from 1932 shows a decidedly lascivious woman, embodied by the color of harmony in its purest form.

The old exhibition catalog of the Kunsthaus Zurich for the Picasso exhibition of 1932 is then printed on the following pages. Then you can deal with the work directory and a commendable four-page chronology of biographical data of Picasso.

A successful exhibition catalog that shows what a great artist, Picasso was at a young age.

recommended.
