Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) - The Portraits - A collection of paintings 4K Ultra HD

Pablo Ruiz Picasso (1881-1973) was a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist, stage designer, poet and playwright who spent most of his adult life in France.
Regarded as one of the most influential artists of the 20th century, he is known for co-founding the Cubist movement, the invention of constructed sculpture, the co-invention of collage, and for the wide variety of styles that he helped develop and explore.
Picasso demonstrated extraordinary artistic talent in his early years, painting in a naturalistic manner through his childhood and adolescence.
During the first decade of the 20th century, his style changed as he experimented with different theories, techniques, and ideas. After 1906, the Fauvist work of the slightly older artist Henri Matisse motivated Picasso to explore more radical styles, beginning a fruitful rivalry between the two artists, who subsequently were often paired by critics as the leaders of modern art.
Picasso was exceptionally prolific throughout his long lifetime. The total number of artworks he produced has been estimated at 50,000, comprising 1,885 paintings; 1,228 sculptures; 2,880 ceramics, roughly 12,000 drawings, many thousands of prints, and numerous tapestries and rugs.
The medium in which Picasso made his most important contribution was painting. In his paintings, Picasso used colour as an expressive element, but relied on drawing rather than subtleties of colour to create form and space. He sometimes added sand to his paint to vary its texture. A nanoprobe of Picasso's The Red Armchair (1931) by physicists at Argonne National Laboratory in 2012 confirmed art historians' belief that Picasso used common house paint in many of his paintings. Much of his painting was done at night by artificial light.
Picasso's early sculptures were carved from wood or modelled in wax or clay, but from 1909 to 1928 Picasso abandoned modelling and instead made sculptural constructions using diverse materials. An example is Guitar (1912), a relief construction made of sheet metal and wire that Jane Fluegel terms a "three-dimensional planar counterpart of Cubist painting" that marks a "revolutionary departure from the traditional approaches, modeling and carving".

From the beginning of his career, Picasso displayed an interest in subject matter of every kind, and demonstrated a great stylistic versatility that enabled him to work in several styles at once. For example, his paintings of 1917 included the pointillist Woman with a Mantilla, the Cubist Figure in an Armchair, and the naturalistic Harlequin (all in the Museu Picasso, Barcelona). In 1919, he made a number of drawings from postcards and photographs that reflect his interest in the stylistic conventions and static character of posed photographs. In 1921 he simultaneously painted several large neoclassical paintings and two versions of the Cubist composition Three Musicians (Museum of Modern Art, New York; Philadelphia Museum of Art). In an interview published in 1923, Picasso said, "The several manners I have used in my art must not be considered as an evolution, or as steps towards an unknown ideal of painting ... If the subjects I have wanted to express have suggested different ways of expression I have never hesitated to adopt them."
Although his Cubist works approach abstraction, Picasso never relinquished the objects of the real world as subject matter. Prominent in his Cubist paintings are forms easily recognized as guitars, violins, and bottles. When Picasso depicted complex narrative scenes it was usually in prints, drawings, and small-scale works; Guernica (1937) is one of his few large narrative paintings.
Picasso painted mostly from imagination or memory. According to William Rubin, Picasso "could only make great art from subjects that truly involved him ... Unlike Matisse, Picasso had eschewed models virtually all his mature life, preferring to paint individuals whose lives had both impinged on, and had real significance for, his own." The art critic Arthur Danto said Picasso's work constitutes a "vast pictorial autobiography" that provides some basis for the popular conception that "Picasso invented a new style each time he fell in love with a new woman". The autobiographical nature of Picasso's art is reinforced by his habit of dating his works, often to the day. He explained: "I want to leave to posterity a documentation that will be as complete as possible. That's why I put a date on everything I do

Picasso is so far beyond genius, it's completely incomprehensible to me lol. Someone like him who draws and paints from birth, all day everyday, with complete passion and love, for his entire life until the hour of his death, it's impossible for anyone to catch up to him!! you'd need multiple lifetimes! thank god he lived as long as he did, imagining if he died in his 20's or 30's like mozart...

This is a wonderful collection of Pablo Picassos variety of styles. I was delighted to find this video! Here and now in August 2022... Thank you.

Love Picasso

I wonder if when people sat for their portrait and it turned out looking normal they were like " what is up with that? He must not like me."

[@texwiller4029]

Picasso finds on and on new colour combinations. And unlike Dalí's they are pleasantful and good taste.

Hello what advice do you give me to differentiate between a reproduction painting of an original I have another question 🙋‍♂️ What steps and procedures do I have to follow to differentiate an original and false🧐🤔

[@furkanaydemir9895]

Your channel is great! Thank you so much for your work. I wish there were also names of drawings.

[@masterpainters1706]

Hello and thank you for the kind message. I am adding titles to each painting and drawing on each video with subtitles. This is taking me some time to complete, it's a huge task. So keep having a look and you're you will see it soon. I have some videos with subtitles already live to test how it looks but as I said soon all videos will have titles, dates and other information for each item. Thanks again and I'm pleased to hear that you're enjoying the channel. Glenn

@@masterpainters1706 Happy to hear that news!

[@masterpainters1706]

@@furkanaydemir9895 hello again. Yes I agree, I think having titles and other information for each painting will add a lot to the value of the videos. It's just quite a lot of work to catch up with all the videos I have already made. New videos will mostly come with titles already added or I will add them on a weekend to all the videos I release during the week. I just wish I had thought of it 8 months ago when I first started making the videos. When I started out I was mainly making them for myself and didn't really think many other people would be interested. But it's been a really lovely surprise to see more and more people joining the channel and enjoying them. When I started to realise that they were more p than I expected I immediately started to work harder on them and trying to make each video as good as possible. That's why some of the very first videos aren't quite up to the standard of the rest, I was just finding my feet and still working out a system of working and finding a format that works. I now have a good routine to follow and a set way for putting them together. As I come up with improvements, like using subtitles for artwork names etc, I'm going to go back through the whole catalogue and update all of the videos. I'm even remaking some of the first ones. I actually have well over 2000 artists who's works I have collected ready to be made into videos for the channel. There will eventually also be a website with a bio and all of the images in the highest resolution I have, which is sometimes as high as 30,000 horizontal pixels. There is also going to be a downloadable pdf ebook book for each video with a bio and images from the featured artist. I'm really pleased with the pdfs, I think they look great and would actually be a wonderful thing to print out on good photo paper and keep. Thank you again for your support and contact. I hope you like the sound of what I'm doing with this and you enjoy the channel If you would like to see how the titles work then the latest video has them on already and there are several others if you go back to around the point where the Vermeer video is.

@@masterpainters1706 Really beautiful and needed project for artwork lovers! That kind of archive makes easier to analyze them in one place and gives you more accurate perspective towards artists' style. Even the biographies of artists on each video are well detailed to acquire art knowledge. I looked the video you mentioned, and that is what I was trying to say :) So that, people can search the paintings that they are more interested in to look some extra other information and critics about them. Also adding classical or enstrumental background music to videos may make people get more enjoy but this is my idea and controversial. I hope you succeed your project and thanks again for huge tasks you have done so far :)

Thanks for the video but this needs names and a tiny bit of information at least. New comers will be lost otherwise, speaking as a new comers

So many different styles and concepts. How could you not?

Ahhh---maybe because there's no names or information attached anywhere? Do you think a tiny thing like that could be the problem?@@toddaulner5393
