More than any avant-garde artists before them, Picasso and Braque called into question conventional ideas about art as the imitation of reality. The pleasure for the viewer is to let go of all normal expectations and enter into the game, which is an endlessly intriguing one. Teasingly elusive, the image is a construction of forms and signs that the artist has put together in a spirit of parody and play. But things never fully add up, either in detail or as a wholeand deliberately so. The impression is that of a fast, modern world, with glimpses of models, friends, and the paraphernalia of drinking and smoking. Viewers pick up a few cluesa figure, a pipe, a moustache, a bottle, a glass, a musical instrument, a newspaper, a playing cardand these start to suggest a reality in three dimensions.

All of the greatest art to follow in the 20th century is in one way or another indebted to their achievement.įollowing up on hints they found in the work of Paul Cézanne, and brimming with youthful bravado, Picasso and Braque created pictorial puzzles, comprehensible to a point but full of false leads and contradictions. It is not an exaggeration to say that Picassos and Braques experiment would clear the way for an entirely new definition of the work of art, now freed from the task of imitation in the conventional sense. In this exhibition, we hope to recover the excitement and sense of the unknown that we know they both felt. Eik Kahng, organizing curator and SBMA Chief Curator notes, The works that these two artists produced during this two year period remain some of the most difficult and enigmatic in all of the history of art. This will be the first presentation ever held on the West Coast devoted to this seminal and fascinating phase of modern art, and it will forever change our understanding of the experimental link between these great masters, states Larry Feinberg, SBMA Director.ĭuring the years 1910 through 1912, Picasso and Braque invented a new style that took the basics of traditional European artmodeling in light and shade to suggest roundedness, perspective lines to suggest space, indeed the very idea of making a recognizable description of the real worldand toyed with them irreverently. The international loan exhibition, featuring 16 paintings and 20 etchings and drypoints, is organized by the Santa Barbara Museum of Art and the Kimbell Art Museum, with its debut in Fort Worth, TX May 29 August 21, 2011.
