Pablo, According To Me, Part 1b

Pablo...according to me (Part 1b, continuation/finish from Part 1a) Re Pablo Picasso printmaking exhibition at Bellagio Hotel's Fine Art Gallery. (7) Photo - PP's living room (by David Douglas Duncan), Summer '57, Villa La California Cannes I'm glad I'm not the only one who breeds mess, industry, libation, and managed chaos in the quest for genius. He found it. I'm still looking. (8) Figure (oil/canvas, zinc plate, litho) Helluva way to capture the lady and her virtues. I've never seen nipples and nostrils so exquisite and interchangeable. (9) Woman with a Chignon and Yellow Hat Wife (his) in all her glamour. I imagine the hand on the face is gesturing, "Pablo, finish up, the trash won't take itself out". (10) Jacqueline with a Multicolored Straw Hat (series from carved linoleum, staged in colors, details and vibrance) So we start with faint silhouette and baseline virtue, homage to woman as the world's foundation. Then follow to add glow (yellow), fire (red), mood (periwinkle), passion (purple), and beauty (full blown spectrum). Oh, women, you of hues incomprehensible and indestructible to man. (11) The Two Nudes (his take on Goya's "La Maja desnuda" and Manet's "Le Dejeuner Sur l'herbe") New muse, old muse. Threesome fantasy. It's getting hot in here, so take off all our clothes. What? One loses steam. Oh no! The other falls asleep. Darn, bitches! Rosie, it's all yours tonight. (12) Reclining Woman Reading She's skimming through "Fifty Shades of Pablo". Chapter 12, "Brushes and Booty Calls: How a Flick of the Wrist Seals the Next Tryst". (13) Photo - DDD again, July '57 (same Cannes villa), PP in his studio looking at "Head" work in progress Deep contemplation. 42 days until NFL Opening Day. I need to kill time. Hey, Jacqueline, any PBRs in the fridge?! (8/1/15)
