Art Talk with Professor Thomas Germano - Picasso and the Masters

Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) was influenced by historical artists, among them Velazquez, Goya, El Greco, Rembrandt, Poussin, Titian, and Delacroix as well as modern artists, Manet, Degas, Lautrec, Van Gogh, Gauguin, Renoir, and Cezanne. Picasso had two fundamentally different ways of responding to the masters. The first was to seamlessly assimilate the subject matter into his own art: poses, compositions, colors, and treatment of pictorial space he found in the work of others. The second was a complement to the masterworks, creating autonomous works in the style of ancient Greek, Egyptian, Iberian, African and Renaissance masters by creating a personal dialogue with the past. In both ways, Picasso's abstract modernism reaffirmed his own firm placement in the history of art, an equal among the masters. Professor Thomas Germano will present this visual presentation on October 25, 2021, which marks the 140th birthday of Picasso.
