Rendering 4: Painting

The article 'Becoming Picasso: Paris 1901, Courtauld Gallery ' was published on the website of 'The Telegraph' on February 19, 2013. It is written by Alastair Sooke.

The aim of the article is to give some description of the exhibition of Picasso's paintings in Courtaild Gallery, London. The author described the exhibition in details so that it's easy to imagine yourself visiting this gallery.

As the exhibition is told about early years of Picasso's art work, so Alastair Sooke tells about his pieces of art in the chronological order. The painting is a strange and unusual self-portrait in obscure tints. The author writes that Picasso's technique was very fresh, that's why he was 'a fireball of inspiration'.

Mr. Sooke repotes about the paintings which Picasso made in France with the help of Vollard. At first, his pieces of art were still with the seedy, nocturnal demi-monde, but then under the influence of French Can Can and French atmosphere he created charismatic 'Portrait of Bibi-la-Purée'.

 Further the author describes the paintings of Picasso's so-called Blue Period. It includes such paintings as 'The Blue Room (The Tub)', 'Absinthe Drinker', 'Child with a Dove' and others. 'The Blue Room' presents a naked woman bathing in a bedroom. Her head is slumped, as though her neck is broken.Such describtions evokes melancholy.

Summing it up, the author convinces the reader that this exhibition is to be visited, because here theere is a unique collection of exciting works of art borrowed from important institutions around the world.

I was really impressed by this article, as the description of paintings were so vivd and interesting, that's why I immediately googled them. Though I didn't like all of them, it was still really useful to acquant with Picasso. He really 'illuminated the 20th century like a comet'.
