I’m kind of on a Minotaur kick, which happens to me sometimes, so today I am going to post a few images of Picasso’s Blind Minotaur.

Three Women at the Fountain
We haven’t see any Picasso here for a little while so I figure it is a good time to change that.
The picture “Three Women at the Fountain” above is a pretty good representation of Picasso’s return to classicism and classical themes in the 1920s. The painting is also true to the styles he had been experimenting before then as well. I think it is that mixture that I like so much here. That is, very developed areas of the image sitting over very loose and flat earth-tones.
Picasso’s Vollard Suite Revisited
March 25, 2012
I know I have written about Picasso before, and even had a post dedicated to his Vollard Suite (I think it was even the first post I ever wrote here on ArtDuh), but I just can’t get enough of the artwork and it is time to revisit those prints. I find myself looking at those images all of the time, I think many of them are perfect. I want to see them again! Let’s take a look at a few reproductions of some prints here today…

Picasso’s Vollard Suite
April 18, 2010
Picasso has always been a favorite artist of mine. The 100 etchings he created for publisher Ambroise Vollard from 1930 to 1937 are ranked, for me, among Picasso’s highest artistic achievements.
Anna and I spent some time in San Francisco in the early summer of 2009. While we were there we visited a gallery downtown that had a few pieces from the Vollard Suite, including “Four Nudes and Sculpted Head”. Beautiful. I still think about it all the time, and hope that I will meet more of these etchings soon (especially Minotauromachia!).
