ABSTRACTION CUBISM
 Maya with her Doll, 1938 by Pablo Picasso

A. Pablo Picasso decided in this painting to make the Doll appear as she would in real life,
and give a Surrealist effect to his own Daughter, which he may have found an amusing
decision at the time. He was an artist who liked to experiment and take unusual routes
in his work. You will notice that Pyramidal layout is used by the artist in this painting,
which is a common method of laying out the key focal point and has been used for many
centuries across different movements. Maya has been described by some as Surrealist
andothers as specifically Cubist, and the truth is that this painting holds elements of
both styles as well as Picasso's own particular creativity.
B. As daughter Maya plays with her doll, adoring father Picasso plays with his latest artistic
processing of space and colour. The plastic phase of figurative distortion is continued,
while the characteristics of the face are pushed and remoulded, as though constructed
from modelling clay. As always, Picasso's sense of fun and humour surface: the doll has
the real face, whereas that of the child is surreal, a beautiful juxtaposition.
C. Maya with Doll (Maya à la poupée) is an oil painting by Pablo Picasso. Created in 1938,
the New York Times described it as "a colourful Cubist portrait of Picasso’s daughter
(Maya Widmaier-Picasso) as a child clutching a doll.
 Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, 1907 by Pablo Picasso

A. This painting, Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, was painted in 1907 and is the most famous
example of cubism painting. In this painting, Picasso abandoned all known form and
representation of traditional art. He used distortion of female's body and geometric forms
in an innovative way, which challenges the expectation that paintings will offer idealized
representations of female beauty.
B. His rival Matisse, had just finished his painting La Joie de vivre (The Joy of Living), which
kindled Picasso’s desire to create something completely new. It took 9 months of artistic
reflection, various attempts and numerous sketches to create Les Demoiselles
d’Avignon. Originally the painter planned to have the women taking care of two male
characters; a sailor and a student. However he removed these figures in the final version,
 focussing instead on the nude female form and therefore transforming those who view it
into voyeurs.

C. “Les Demoiselles d’Avignon, oh how this name annoys me!” Pablo Picasso originally wanted
to name his work Le Bordel d’Avignon (The Brothel of Avignon), and severely disliked the
name it. This referred to the road from Avignon to Barcelona which was famously lined
with prostitutes. However in order to avoid censorship of his work, Picasso was forced to
change the name to Les Demoiselles d’Avignon as it is now known. This work was
deliberately provocative for the time, which was characteristic of the painter’s ambitions
and desire to shock and inspire the art world.

Les Demoiselles d'Avignon is a large oil painting created in 1907 by the Spanish artist Pablo
Picasso. The work portrays five nude female prostitutes from a brothel on Carrer d'Avinyó
in Barcelona. Each figure is depicted in a disconcerting confrontational manner and none
are conventionally feminine. The women appear as slightly menacing and rendered with
angular and disjointed body shapes. Three figures on the left exhibit facial features in the
Iberian style of Picasso's native Spain, while the two on the right are shown with African
mask-like features.
 Mlle Yvonne Landsberg (Mademoiselle Yvonne Landsberg),
1914 by Henri Matisse
A. In the years leading up to and during World War I, Matisse set aside the exploding colour
and easy lines that had already made him famous and began grappling with the tamped
down colours and sober, analytic styles of cubism. Portrait of Yvonne Landsberg (1914) is
an early product of this transition. In it, Matisse gives his subject a primeval face
constructed with layers of dark colour. He uses the hard end of his paintbrush to incise
lines around the portrait, right through the thick pigment -- lines that seem to move like
beating hearts.
B. The history of this painting began with a portrait drawing of Yvonne Landsberg
commissioned in the spring of 1914 by her family, affluent Brazilians living in Paris.
Yvonne's brother, an acquaintance of Matisse and an enthusiast of his work, proposed the
idea. Evidently Matisse was intrigued by the young girl he was drawing, and he asked the
family if he could make an oil painting of Yvonne. The work was carried out over the period
of a few months, ending when the Landsberg women returned to Brazil in August shortly
before the outbreak of World War I.

C. Henri Matisse’s painting of Mlle. Yvonne Landsberg is considered to be one of his most
mysterious portraits. Strange curving lines emanate from her figure. Hints of colours peek
out from under a cover of grey. Her pupilless eyes are ethereal. A bit too “alien from
another planet”? If someone went to the time and expense to have Matisse paints their
portrait, shouldn’t he make her look beautiful? Evaluating whether or not Mlle Yvonne
Landsberg or any other work of art is “beautiful” is often a dead end; too many
preconceived judgments get in the way. Toss “beauty” aside.

Title of Work: Angel by Richard Stainthorp

Medium and Technique: British sculptor, Richard Stainthorp captures the beautiful energy and
fluidity of the human body using wire. The life-sized sculptures feature both figures in motion
and at rest, expressed in the form of large-gauged strands that are densely wrapped around
and through one another. By doing this, he gives the work an undeniable presence. Stainthorp
also allows the bent wires to shine by keeping their metallic appearance free from any obvious
painting or additions.
