MWW Gallery of the Day (1/7/22)
Picasso before Cubism: 1890-1906
Unlike chess and mathematics, prodigies come along but rarely in the arts. A Mozart who composes a sonata at six, or a Rimbaud who writes great poetry as a teenager are the exceptions that prove the rule -- and, even then, one burned out at twenty and the other died relatively young. In the visual arts, where there is so much craft to be learned before one can attain the standard set by one's elders, it would seem to be unthinkable, were it not for the case of Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Crispiniano de la Santísima Trinidad Ruiz Picasso, son of a museum curator and painter from Málaga, who began painting at twelve and within a year was producing work which so surpassed that of his father that the old man gave up painting in despair; who by the tender age of sixteen was already considered one of the best painters of the Spanish naturalist school. Of course, had Picasso remained in the artistic backwater that was then Spain, the story might have ended there with him drinking himself to death or becoming a pimp out of boredom. Instead, he threw himself into the creative cauldron of Paris and, unlike Modigliani and many another, managed to survive and flourish into his nineties.
Artistic genius, however precocious the display, does not emerge full-blown from the head of Athena. It needs to be nurtured and developed, with a lot of hard work and growing pains along the way. Hence, this gallery, which is designed to give one a glimpse of the development and maturation of Picasso's art, proceeding from his first efforts as a pre-teen right up to the cusp of his becoming the first truly "modern artist" with the development of cubism at age twenty-five.
The works in this exhibit also serve to epitomize the style and subject matter, as well as the palette and tonalities, of his famous "Blue Period" (1901-04) and "Rose Period" (1905-06).
As is the case with all MWW galleries, many of the works are accompanied by commentaries giving useful background information about the work or subject depicted. (You will need to click "See More" to the right of the large images to access these.) Biographical information about Picasso can be found in the commentaries to some of his self-portraits.

The Fifth Elegy
‘Standing Female Faun’ - Auguste Rodin (French, 1840 - 1917), The Los Angeles County Museum of Art
But who are they, tell me, these Travellers, even more transient than we are ourselves, urgently, from their earliest days,
wrung out for whom – to please whom,
by a never-satisfied will? Yet it wrings them,
bends them, twists them, and swings them,
throws them, and catches them again: as if from oiled
more slippery air, so they land
on the threadbare carpet, worn by their continual
leaping, this carpet
lost in the universe.
Stuck on like a plaster, as if the suburban
sky had wounded the earth there.
And scarcely there,
upright, there and revealed: the great
capital letter of Being.........and already the ever-returning
grasp wrings the strongest of men again, in jest,
as King August the Strong would crush
a tin plate.
