Pablo Picasso- Self Portrait 1907
I am really busy this morning with the last details of preparation for the upcoming Kada Gallery show. I am a little hectic but felt compelled to put something up on the blog out of a sense of obligation to the regimen that has been formed over the six years that I have been writing this blog. I always feel somewhat guilty if I miss more than a day. Five years ago, I shared a video of female portraits throughout the art of last 500 years that was put together by video enthusiast Philip Scott Johnson. It was a well done assemblage with portraits morphing from one to another and was immensely popular with over 14 million views on YouTube.
I came across another of his morph films, this time featuring the portraits of Pablo Picasso. I thought I would share this short but interesting film today.
I sometimes think that Picasso’s immense worldwide fame, especially around the 60’s and 70’s, kept me from fully appreciating his work. I never thought of him as an artistic inspiration for my own work but over time I have found that his work almost always captures my attention when I come across it. There is usually something in it that has that sense of rightness I often struggle to explain here. I have become, more and more, a fan of his work over the years.
Take a look at the film and see for yourself in this great little film that features the laying of Yo-Yo Ma.
