It's Elly here!



So last week, Jesse and I went to the Picasso gallery, and I think it's worth visiting, yet a bit disappointing. We saw a lot of his pictures, we saw his life being shown in timeline and many of his art works.
The reason why I'm disappointing is that one of his most famous works has not been exhibited, which is, the Guernica!

How I wish I could see this work in the exhibition since I have just learnt about this painting during last semester. It would be great if I can see the real one. Nevertheless, We still managed to see some works which represented his painting style in each stage, for example, cubism.
Le Sculpteur
This is Jesse's favorite.
And here goes my favorite,
Femme assise dans un fauteuil rouge

I like this painting, because it is not only simple but also easy to understand. We can easily tell that it is painting about a woman sitting on a red chair. The painting "Le Sculpteur" is describing about a sculptor, who falls in love with his sculpture and wants the goddess to give his sculpture life, thinks that this sculpture is the most perfect woman in the world where he forgets his model.
There is another painting that makes me really excited, which is "Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe d'après Manet". Even though I have not seen the real painting of this painting by Manet, I have seen it on the Internet and in some books that talks about art history, so I know how it looks like. After seeing Picasso's "Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe", I was surprised, it is totally a different style. It looks like it is painted by a child, and not painted realistically. Below are both the "Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe " painted by Picasso and Manet.


I could still remember when I first learnt about "Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe" painting by Manet, my teacher told me that everyone is shocked, as during that century, it is not moral to see a nude woman. So I wonder, what if Picasso's "Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe" was shown to the world first? Will the citizens still be shocked or will they accept it? However, I think that if Manet did not shock people by this painting first, Picasso will not put any attention to it and this painting will not be painted in a different style by Picasso.
I have learnt a lot form this exhibition, hope those who visited this exhibition would feel the same as me! :)
