#FridayFeature | Donald Sultan ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In the process of translating things from the real world, Sultan discovered the joy of ambiguity: images could take on more than one meaning. The lemon could be an eye-socket, smokestacks could be the stems of flowers, street lamps could suggest tulips, an MiG airplane could look like a fish. Behind many of these images, there are barely disguised erotic associations. It requires no Freudian genius, for example, to see the outline of a female breast and nipple in his paintings and drawings of lemons, or the suggestion of buttocks and thighs in some of the delightful small still lifes of pears and nectarines. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Text source: Ian Dunlop, Donald Sultan, Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago , Harry N.

#FridayFeature | Pablo Picasso 🔹 Nearly half a century after his death, Picasso continues to bewitch, confuse, entice, and provoke. From his early days as an artist, Picasso shattered our most primal understanding of the world with his fractured faces and splintered perspectives. He worked voraciously, reinventing his style at a rapid pace--his blue and rose periods, the African period, cubism, surrealism--creating thousands of sculptures, drawings, copperplate etchings, ceramics, and paintings. Just as Albert Einstein envisioned gravitational ripples in the cosmos, Picasso saw undulations in the world we live in, long before we saw them ourselves...Picasso the man was messy. He loved life at the circus and death at the bullfights. He could be both boisterous and silent, amorous and domineering. But from his beginning as a prodigy to his final years painting musketeers and matadors, Picasso seemed destined for artistic greatness, his journey to genius fixed as firmly as paint on canvas. All the elements were there: a family that cultivated his creative passion, intellectual curiosity and grit, clusters of peers who inspired him, and the good fortune to be born at a time when new ideas in science, literature, and music energized his work and the advent of mass media catapulted him to fame. 🔹 Text source: Claudia Kalb, How Picasso's Journey from Prodigy to Icon Revealed a Genius, National Geographic Magazine, May 2018 🔹 Artwork info: Pablo Picasso, Bullfight and Picador, 1953, earthenware clay, diameter: 9 3/8 inches, prototype moulded and painted by Picasso before the edition of 300 #picasso #visitbergamot #ceramics #madoura (at Bergamot)
