1994 exhibition at the Musée Picasso in Paris - Les deux frères

1994

About the Item

The 1994 exhibition at the Musée Picasso in Paris celebrated Pablo Picasso’s “Les Deux Frères”, a poignant masterpiece from the artist’s Rose Period. This event provided art enthusiasts with the opportunity to explore one of the most emotionally resonant periods of Picasso’s career, showcasing his evolution as an artist and the themes that defined his early work. Painted in 1906, Les Deux Frères (The Two Brothers) reflects a pivotal moment in Picasso’s artistic journey. It emerged during his Rose Period, a time when he transitioned from the melancholy tones of his Blue Period to embrace warmer hues and themes of connection, love, and humanity. The painting depicts two brothers, an older sibling protectively holding a younger one, symbolizing familial bonds and universal human relationships. This piece is deeply rooted in Picasso’s fascination with the lives of circus performers and the marginalized figures he encountered during his travels, infusing his work with both intimacy and compassion. The 1994 exhibition at the Musée Picasso emphasized the significance of Les Deux Frères as part of a broader exploration of Picasso’s early years. This period marked the artist’s growing interest in capturing the emotional depth of human interactions, moving away from the somber solitude of his earlier works. The warm tones and affectionate subject matter of Les Deux Frères exemplify Picasso’s shift toward celebrating life and human connection, a theme that would continue to influence his later creations. The Musée Picasso, housed in the historic Hôtel Salé in Paris, provided an ideal setting for this exhibition. Renowned for its extensive collection of Picasso’s works, the museum offers a comprehensive view of the artist’s evolution, spanning every phase of his prolific career. The 1994 exhibition was particularly significant in highlighting the transition between Picasso’s Blue and Rose periods, drawing attention to how his personal experiences and observations shaped his artistic voice. This exhibition remains a notable moment in the Musée Picasso’s history, shedding light on the emotional and cultural impact of Picasso’s Rose Period. For those who attended, it was an opportunity to engage deeply with one of Picasso’s most cherished works, understanding its context and significance within his broader oeuvre.

Love in a cup (Stick Figure Art, Heart, Love, Playful, Warm, Heartfelt)
Located in Kansas City, MO
Wilhelm Schlote Love in a cup Giclee on hand made cotton paper Year: 2015 Signed by hand Size: 11.4 × 10.6 on 15.0 × 12.0 inches COA provided Ref.: 924802-899 ---------------------------------- Wilhelm Schlote (born March 4, 1946 in Lüdenscheid) is a German artist, children's book author, cartoonist and caricaturist. Schlote grew up in Essen. His first art teacher was Heinz Mack (member of the artist group ZERO), who recognized Wilhelm Schlote's talent for drawing early on. His mentor and friend Albert Schulze-Vellinghausen, who, as a literary critic for the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ), was the predecessor of Marcel Reich-Ranicki, was just as philosophically influential. After graduating from high school, Schlote studied philosophy in Bonn until 1968 and then art at the Kunsthochschule Kassel until 1972. From 1973 to 1978 he was a teacher in higher education in Kassel and Hamburg. Simultaneously with the decision to go to Paris, Schlote was offered a professorship at a German art college. In 1978, however, Schlote decided to move to France, where he lived partly in Nice, but mainly in Paris. In 1980 he exhibited for the first time in the Medical Faculty of St. Germain des Pres in Paris. Since 2011 Wilhelm Schlote lives and works in Cologne, Germany. In 1968 Schlote published the first of a total of 35 children's books. Starting in 1976 he published cartoon postcards - the so-called "Schlote-Karten" - and in the same year received the German Youth Book Prize for “I wish for a hippopotamus today”. In 1991 he was awarded by the "Académie Calvet"; the award was presented to him by Catherine Deneuve and Claude Chabrol. Schlote's cartoons and drawings have appeared in magazines such as Die Zeit, Die Welt, The New Yorker, Le Monde and Le Figaro. He creates his city posters...
