Barcelona | Discovering Picasso at the Picasso Museum 🏛️🎨

The works are displayed chronologically, showcasing Picasso's solid artistic foundation from his academic period. Even in his teens, he could create exceptional realistic paintings that met popular aesthetic standards. However, he believed that artistic creation was more meaningful. Now, we can understand his words: "Learn the rules like a professional, so you can break them like an artist." Then comes the Blue Period, during which the continuous sadness from the death of a close friend of Picasso overflows from his paintings. He painted many marginalized figures with numbness, sorrow, and nothingness during this time. Observing the margins of society was an act of universal love. In addition to the palpable sadness, there were contrasts invisible to the naked eye. Next is Cubism, a period where Picasso's works combined elements from different spatial dimensions, appearing chaotic but presenting an object from various perspectives in a single image, thus constructing a new whole and sensation. Then there's the Dove Series, where Picasso painted the scenery outside his studio during his vacation, also depicting the form of a dovecot, creating a special tranquility. Honestly, I didn't quite understand what this series was expressing at first; the style was different from his other periods. Lastly, I saw Picasso's reinterpretation and recreation of the classic painting "Las Meninas." I didn't quite understand what he was trying to express during the visit, but after learning more about the background of the original work, I could feel the meaning he wanted to convey. For me, I saw a sense of disorder, sadness, and maddening suffocation in the court, of course, the feelings are complex and difficult to describe with just a few words. Picasso spent his whole life learning to paint like a child, reminding me of when I was young and learning art. The teacher said that there was something in children's paintings that adults couldn't imitate. I'm not quite sure about the value of this quality now, but maybe I'll understand it in the future. #Barcelona #BarcelonaPicassoMuseum #PicassoMuseum
