Enter Poem or Quote (Required)Required Two painters Two generations Two minds But one goal – to observe and to paint Vincent’s Arles 20th February 1888 He left as snow fell in Paris Seeking warmth, bright light and colour Provence beckoned, Arles awaited Cold welcome soon turned warm Vincent keen to explore Keen to advance painting style Bold colours, dynamic brush strokes May day and the yellow house his base Hopes of a collective studio Daring colour adventure begins Townscapes, countryside, ordinary people, self portraits 23rd October 1888 His good friend Paul arrives Dedicates a self portrait to him Painting solace the quest But two months later, no more Their characters and artistic temperaments clash Friendship ends Collective studio shattered 23rd December mental breakdown Absinthe takes hold Left earlobe severed But still he paints His postman friend Roulin worried Mental strife continues Townsfolk complain of disruption Red-headed madman must go March 1889 police shut yellow house What now for Vincent? 8th May, Arles ends after 300 paintings and drawings 25 kilometres to Saint Rémy voluntary internment Personal demons, tortured soul But still he paints, indeed his best 143 paintings – Starry Night At the pinnacle of his genius On to Auvers-sur-Oise and journey’s end July wheat fields painted And then its over Suicide in that painted location Next innings Vincent’s legacy abounds 1886 a seven year old boy starts to paint 1901 sees Vincent’s paintings given to Roulin Fires Pablo’s imagination Pablo self portrait Picasso, oval face and olive eyes, always solemn and searching. Pushing boundaries, challenging authority, his artistic torch cuts through the fog of life. At times his scrutiny turned inwards. Self-critique of the physical and the psychological took hold. Could it be self-doubt or ego which drove him on? Or was it simply a visual diary of moments in his life? 1901, subdued bluish tones portray young Picasso in an older light. Sadness and solitude emanate from the cloaked figure. Though beset by trials and tribulations he stands proud gazing at his audience. 1907, the face of cubism unfolds angular features with large searching eyes. He seems lean almost undernourished. His sombre outlook dominates the vista. 1972, and then the end draws near. Staring his own death in the face there is fear in his sunken eyes. Flesh nearly gone reveals his skull for all to examine. Pablo asked, “Are we to paint what’s on the face, what’s inside the face or what’s behind it?” The recognisable image becomes less and less distinct, until what is left is the naked soul. And Pablo said, “Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.” But, eventually the soul becomes dust and all that is left is a memory. We will always remember Pablo, for art is life and life is art. Painter duo recap Nearly a century of art by Vincent and Pablo A painter duo – true genius Vincent once wrote “What lives in art and is eternally living, is first of all the painter, and then the painting” Paintings for us all to cherish, explore and enjoy
