About the camera :
Minolta XD5 was manufactured in Japan and released in 1979, two years after the XD7 (XD11 in certain markets). The Minolta XD series was resized to the "gold dimensions" of the Barnack Leica (approx. 13x3x5 cm) as Olympus did for its OM1 several years before. Minolta XD5 is very closed to the XD7 body with only a few features suppressed. It has the same electronic shutter made of vertical metal blades and was the first SLR offering a double automatism with aperture priority (A) or shutter priority (S) when coupled to a new series of Minolta MD lenses. XD bodies served has basis for the Leica R4 to R7 SLR's and was developed consequently with Leitz. XD camera were more expensive than Minolta X-700 and X-500 famous SLR's and co-existed to the Minolta catalog from 1981 to 1984.
I found this XD5 from my local photography shop in March 2023 with its likely original normal lens : a Minolta MD (III) 1:2 f=50mm.
About the 85mm lens:
I purchased brand-new this Minolta lens MD (III) 1:2 f=85mm in 1984 a part of my original 1984 Minolta X-500 kit that included too a MD 1:2.8 f=20mm and a MD 1:2.8 f=35mm. When not used, the kit was carefully stored in an aluminium case and the lenses kept their original Minolta shade hood. For the 85mm, the cylindrical hood is made of metal.

Picasso in The Metropolitan Museum of Art: April 27, 2010–August 15, 2010
Here, Picasso's twenty-five-year-old lover, Marie-Thérèse Walter, sits at a table reading, seemingly unaware of her crown of flowers. This chaste scene was set at the artist's country home in Boisgeloup, in Normandy, where, in addition to painting, Picasso produced large-scale sculptures and prepared many etchings.
ABOUT THE SUBJECT:
Marie-Thérèse Walter (July 13, 1909 – October 20, 1977) was the French mistress and model of Pablo Picasso from 1927 to about 1935, and the mother of his daughter, Maya Widmaier-Picasso. Their relationship began when she was seventeen years old; he was 45 and still living with his first wife, Olga Khokhlova. It ended when Picasso moved on to his next mistress, artist Dora Maar. While Picasso portrays Dora in his works of art as dark and in pain, as the "woman in tears", he painted Marie-Thérèse as just the opposite: blonde and bright.v
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Pablo Picasso (25 October 1881 – 8 April 1973) was a Spanish-born painter, sculptor, draughtsman, printmaker, decorative artist and writer, active in France. He dominated 20th-century European art and was central in the development of the image of the modern artist. Episodes of his life were recounted in intimate detail, his comments on art were published and his working methods recorded on film. Painting was his principal medium, but his sculptures, prints, theatre designs and ceramics all had an impact on their respective disciplines. Even artists not influenced by the style or appearance of his work had to come to terms with its implications.
With Georges Braque Picasso was responsible for Cubism, one of the most radical re-structurings of the way that a work of art constructs its meaning. During his extremely long life Picasso instigated or responded to most of the artistic dialogues taking place in Europe and North America, registering and transforming the developments that he found most fertile. His marketability as a unique and enormously productive artistic personality, together with the distinctiveness of his work and practice, have made him the most extensively exhibited and discussed artist of the 20th century.
1925-1935: PICASSO’S INTERACTIONS WITH SURREALISM:
André Breton, the chief theorist and promoter of Surrealism, claimed Picasso as ‘one of ours’ in his article ‘Le Surréalisme et la peinture’, published in the fourth issue of Révolution surréaliste (1925); the Demoiselles was first reproduced in the same issue. At the first Surrealist group exhibition (Nov 1925) Picasso showed some of his Cubist works. He never yielded completely to the concept of ‘psychic automatism in its pure state’ as defined in the first Manifeste du surréalisme—poisson soluble (Paris, 1924), but the movement did lead him to a new imagery and formal vocabulary for emotional expression, releasing the violence, the psychic fears and the eroticism that had been largely contained or sublimated since 1909. This shift towards a more overt expressiveness was heralded by The Dance (1925). Although it emerged from studies related to the ballet and was dependent on Cubism for its conception of space, the fusion of ritual and abandon in the imagery recalls the primitivism of the Demoiselles and the elusive psychological resonances of his Symbolist work. Resurrecting the memory of Casagemas, it also prefigures Picasso’s ritually staged Crucifixion (1930). Numerous images of women with devouring maws coincide with the breakdown of Picasso’s marriage to Olga, while polymorphously eroticized figures can be associated with a new liaison with Marie-Thérèse Walter, whom he met in 1927, although she did not openly appear in his work until the 1930s. Images of sexual intercourse between schematic stick figures or inflated monsters, as in Figures by the Sea (12 Jan 1931), suggest violent or ambivalent emotions.
(i) Renewed interest in Classicism
Surrealism not only rekindled Picasso’s fascination with the primitive and the erotic but also encouraged a conflation of his abiding interests in Classicism and the bullfight. The mythical hybrid monster known as the Minotaur, half-man and half-bull, became a favourite Surrealist image and the title of a Surrealist periodical, Minotaure, whose first cover Picasso designed in 1933. Symbolizing both destructive and creative powers, the Minotaur served Picasso as a new artistic identity. The complex etching Minotauromachy (1935) provokes multiple narrative and symbolic associations, ultimately stressing private meanings and never yielding a definite reading. In another etching, Model and Surrealist Sculpture (1933), Picasso wittily confronts the Classical with the fantastic, revealing his growing preoccupation with artistic practice and creativity. His treatment of the theme of the artist’s studio in late Cubist paintings such as Artist and Model (1928) and more naturalistic etchings culminated in 1933–4 in the classical idyll of The Sculptor’s Studio, a subsection of 46 of the 100 etchings gathered together in 1937 but offered for sale as the Vollard Suite only in 1950. In these works the artist is represented both as a contemplator and lover of his model/muse and as an active practitioner; and, in contrast to Picasso’s own experience, the making of art is depicted as a natural and unproblematic activity.
(ii) Experiments with different media
During these years less productive periods of painting alternated with outpourings of etchings and sculptures. In addition to the Vollard Suite, Picasso illustrated Balzac’s Le Chef d’oeuvre inconnu (Paris, 1931) for Vollard with etchings produced in 1927, Ovid’s Metamorphoses (Lausanne, 1931) for Skira and an English translation of Lysistrata (New York, 1934) for the Limited Editions Club. In spring 1926, having produced few sculptures or reliefs since 1915, he executed a group of assemblages, on the theme of guitars, out of cloth, nails and other materials, some protruding aggressively from the surface. Austere and disturbing, they were succeeded in summer 1930 by Surrealist-influenced bas-reliefs mounted on canvas and coated in sand, for example Construction with Bather and Profile (1930; Paris).
In 1921 Picasso had been approached to design a monument to Apollinaire. Finally in 1928, with the assistance of Julio González, a sculptor and trained metalworker, he realized some maquettes made of metal rods such as Figure (1928). This linear scaffolding became fleshed out with flattened metal shapes in Woman in the Garden (1929–30), a homage to Marie-Thérèse as well as a proposal for the Apollinaire monument. Although the submissions for the monument were rejected as too radical, the renewed association with González, whom he had known since 1902, produced ten collaborative sculptures over four years in Picasso’s most fruitful artistic dialogue since the Cubist venture with Braque.
Unlike the frontal and opaque earlier Cubist constructions, these metal sculptures proposed an open three-dimensional structure that described and marked out a transparently conceived space. Although their radicality portended much for the future of 20th-century sculpture, Picasso returned to a more Classicizing conception of mass and volume in the large metamorphic bronze heads produced in 1931–2 at Boisgeloup, for which Marie-Thérèse served as the inspiration; in works such as Head of a Woman (1931–2) her features were sometimes recast into a fetishized hermaphroditic image. In autumn 1935, having produced no paintings since May, Picasso wrote some Surrealist automatic poetry; this new venture marked the end of a decade of innovation, response to younger artists, doubt, inner reliance and self-assessment.
(iii) Personal life
The routine of Picasso’s private life at this time was also punctuated by periods of instability. He continued to spend the summer at seaside resorts, a habit he had established in the early 1920s. In 1933 and 1934 he took his family to Spain, visiting Barcelona (where he saw the Romanesque art in the Museu d’Art de Catalunya in 1934) as well as Madrid, the Escorial, Toledo and Saragossa. After considering and rejecting divorce, Picasso separated from Olga in June 1935. On 5 October Marie-Thérèse gave birth to a daughter, Maïa (María de la Concepción), named after Picasso’s sister. Although by now regarded as a major artist, he began to receive negative notices from those who perceived a decline in his more recent work. He exhibited widely, winning the Carnegie International prize in October 1930 and holding his first large retrospective at the Galerie Georges Petit, Paris, in June 1932. The proliferation of publications on his work included the monumental catalogue raisonné by Christian Zervos (first volume, 1932), followed one year later by the first volume of Bernard Geiser’s Picasso: Peintre-graveur. In July 1935, confronting fame and an apparent crisis in his work, Picasso invited his old friend Sabartés to join him as his secretary and business manager in November.
ABOUT THE EXHIBIT:
This landmark exhibition was the first to focus exclusively on works by Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881–1973) in the Museum's collection. It featured three hundred works, including the Museum's complete holdings of paintings, drawings, sculptures, and ceramics by Picasso—never before seen in their entirety—as well as a selection of the artist's prints. The Museum's collection reflected the full breadth of the artist's multi-sided genius as it asserted itself over the course of his long and influential career.
Notable for its remarkable constellation of early figure paintings, which include the commanding At the Lapin Agile (1905) and the iconic portrait of Gertrude Stein (1906), the Museum's collection also stands apart for its exceptional cache of drawings, which remain relatively little known, despite their importance and number. The key subjects that variously sustained Picasso's interest—the pensive harlequins of his Blue and Rose periods, the faceted figures and tabletop still lifes of his cubist years, the monumental heads and classicizing bathers of the 1920s, the raging bulls and dreaming nudes of the 1930s, and the rakish cavaliers and musketeers of his final years—are amply represented by works ranging in date from a dashing self-portrait of 1900 (Self-Portrait "Yo") to the fanciful Standing Nude and Seated Musketeer painted nearly seventy years later.

The Weeping Woman (La Femme qui pleure), etching, aquatint, and drypoint. It is associated with Maar, may also reference Picasso's former lover, Marie–Thérèse Walter, and Olga Picasso, to whom he was still married. In addition, it expresses his despair during the Spanish Civil War; it was made in conjunction with his celebrated and epic painting Guernica (1937). The Weeping Woman series is regarded as a thematic continuation of the tragedy depicted in his painting Guernica. In focusing on the image of a woman crying, the artist was no longer painting the effects of the Spanish Civil War directly, but rather referring to a singular universal image of suffering.
Dora Maar (November 22, 1907 – July 16, 1997) was a French photographer, poet and painter of Croatian descent, best known for being a lover and muse of Pablo Picasso. Before meeting Picasso, Maar was already famous as a photographer. She also painted. She met Picasso in January 1936 on the terrace of the Café les Deux Magots in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Paris, when she was 29 years old and he 54. The famous poet Paul Éluard, who was with Picasso, had to introduce them. Picasso was attracted by her beauty and self-mutilation (she cut her fingers and the table playing "the knife game "; he got her bloody gloves and exhibited them on a shelf in his apartment). She spoke Spanish fluently, so Picasso was even more fascinated. Their relationship lasted nearly nine years.
Maar became the rival of Picasso's blonde mistress, Marie-Thérèse Walter, who had a newborn daughter with Picasso, named Maya. Picasso often painted beautiful, sad Dora, who suffered because she was sterile, and called her his "private muse." For him she was the "woman in tears" in many aspects. During their love affair, she suffered from his moods, and hated that in 1943 he had found a new lover, Françoise Gilot. Picasso and Paul Éluard sent Dora to their friend, the psychiatrist Jacques Lacan, who treated her with psychoanalysis.
She made herself better known in the art world with her photographs of the successive stages of the completion of Guernica, which Picasso painted in his workshop on the rue des Grands Augustins, and other photographic portraits of Picasso. Together, she and Picasso studied printing with Man Ray.
Maar kept his paintings for herself until her death in 1997. They were souvenirs of her extraordinary love affair, which made her famous forever. In Paris, still occupied by the Germans, Picasso left to her a drawing from 1915 as a goodbye gift in April 1944; it represents Max Jacob, his close friend who had just died in the transit camp of Drancy after his arrest by the Nazis. He also left to her some still lifes and a house at Ménerbes in Provence.
ABOUT THE EXHIBIT:
Picasso: Themes and Variations March 28–August 30, 2010, MoMA: Featuring approximately one hundred works, this exhibition explores Picasso’s creative process through the medium of printmaking, tracing his development from the early years of the twentieth century, with depictions of itinerant circus performers in the Blue and Rose periods, to his discovery of Cubism. It follows his evolving artistic vision through decades of experimentation in etching, lithography, and linoleum cut, demonstrating how each technique inspired new directions in his work. The exhibition focuses on specific themes, showing how Picasso’s imagery went through a constant process of metamorphosis. Printmaking, in particular, allows this fundamental aspect of his art to become vividly clear, since various stages in building a composition can be documented. One series of lithographs shows Picasso progressing, step-by-step, from a realistic depiction of a bull to one that is completely abstracted into schematic lines. Other series reveal changing interpretations of the women in Picasso’s life, as they become the subject of his art and a catalytic force behind his creativity.

His marketability as a unique and enormously productive artistic personality, together with the distinctiveness of his work and practice, have made him the most extensively exhibited and discussed artist of the 20th century.
1936 -1953: WAR YEARS AND LATER WORK:
(i) Spanish Civil War to World War II
Events of the next years impelled Picasso towards more public meanings for his hitherto personal symbols. On 14 July 1936 he contributed to Popular Front festivities in France. An enlargement of a gouache, Composition with Minotaur (28 May 1936), became the drop curtain for a performance of Romain Rolland’s play Le 14 juillet; although this belonged to a series of drawings on the Minotaur theme, the gestures and their context suggest a politicized imagery. After the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War on 18 July 1936, the Republican government appointed Picasso director of the Museo del Prado. In January 1937 he etched The Dream and Lie of Franco I and II (Bloch, nos 297 and 298) and wrote an accompanying poem to be sold for the benefit of the Spanish Republic. The sequence of scenes depicts the General as a grotesque polyp reminiscent of Alfred Jarry’s Père Ubu.
In January 1937 the Spanish Republican government asked Picasso to paint a mural for the Spanish pavilion at the Exposition Universelle in Paris, due to open in June. After a few preliminary sketches relating to the theme of the artist’s studio, on 1 May Picasso set to work on a vast painting, Guernica (oil on canvas, Madrid), finally spurred into action by the aerial bombing by the Falangists of the Basque town of Guernica five days earlier. He then worked intensively, producing more than 50 studies and making extensive revisions on the large canvas. Dora Maar, a Surrealist artist and new companion whom he had met in 1936, photographed seven moments in the production of the final work. Guernica was installed in Paris in mid-June; redolent with political allusions, reportage and historical references, it has since attracted numerous efforts at decipherment. Although a rich mine for analysis, its success as painting or political statement has been obscured by the fact that history has turned it into an icon. Its motifs produced numerous progeny of a more personal nature, but responses to the worsening situation in Spain and preparations for war in the rest of Europe are less in evidence; one such work is Night Fishing at Antibes (Aug 1939), which adopts jarring formal devices in a ritualized image of killing and detached observation.
After the invasion of France by the Germans in 1940, Picasso lived in his Paris studio on the Rue des Grands-Augustins. Although watched by the German authorities, he was able to work and even to cast some sculpture in bronze. Skulls and death’s heads evoke the sombre mood, for example in Death’s Head (1943). Similar imagery featured in paintings such as Skull, Sea Urchins and Lamp on a Table (1946). Le Désir attrapé par la queue (Paris, 1945), a play written by him in January 1941, deals with the privations of the occupation through the language of poetic automatism. On 19 March 1944 it received a private reading at the home of Michel and Louise Leiris; the participants, in addition to the Leirises, included Albert Camus, Simone de Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre and Dora Maar, and among the audience were the Braques, Brassaï, Jacques Lacan and Sabartés.
Shortly after the Liberation on 5 October 1944 L’Humanité announced that Picasso had joined the French Communist Party. The imagery of Massacre in Korea (1951) and the War and Peace murals (oil on fibreboard, 1954) was designed to win party approval. Picasso attended international peace conferences in Warsaw (1948), Paris (1949) and Sheffield (1950), received the Lenin Peace Prize (Nov 1950) and designed posters and a portrait of Stalin at the party’s request. From August 1947 he made ceramics at the Madoura potteries in Vallauris, partly motivated, it would seem, by political concerns. In contrast to this humble medium, however, he also produced a considerable number of bronze sculptures in the early 1950s, including some of his best-known works in the medium such as She-goat (1950) and Baboon and Young (1951).
(ii) Personal life, late 1930s to 1953
Picasso’s emotional life during this period continued to be turbulent. In the late 1930s he had liaisons with both Marie-Thérèse Walter and Dora Maar, continuing his involvement with Maar even after meeting a young painter, Françoise Gilot (b 1921), in 1943. Gilot and Picasso began living together in 1946 and had two children, Claude (b 15 May 1947) and Paloma (b 19 April 1949). The years of Picasso’s most active involvement with the Communist Party coincided with this relationship, but Françoise left in 1953. By contrast with these unstable romantic entanglements, Picasso had a profound and durable friendship from early 1936 with Paul Eluard, a supporter of the left and a Communist Party member from 1942, which ended only with the poet’s death in 1952. Before and after World War II Picasso spent an increasing amount of time in the Mediterranean; with the purchase in the summer of 1948 of La Galloise, a villa near Vallauris, he settled more permanently in the south of France, although he retained residences and studios in Paris. His international reputation had expanded and popularized during these years, beginning in 1939 with the publication in Life magazine of photographs of him taken by Brassaï in Paris and with the exhibition Picasso: Forty Years of his Art at MOMA in New York. After the Liberation Picasso’s marketability in the media was confirmed by a film, Visite à Picasso (1948), directed by the art critic Paul Haesaerts. Picasso was granted a retrospective at the first Salon d’Automne held after the Liberation, his first Salon showing in France. In 1946 he decorated the museum in Antibes, which was then renamed in his honour. International retrospectives took place in 1953 in Rome, Milan and São Paulo. Despite his political affiliations during the Cold War period, Picasso enjoyed prosperity and worldly success.

In tegenstelling tot de tango van het ballroomdansen, biedt de Argentijnse tango, door een andere lichaamsstand van de danspartners, veel ruimte om met de benen ingewikkelde figuren te doen. In deze dans zit veel schone schijn van erotiek en vechtlust verborgen. Zo lijkt het voor de buitenstaander vaak alsof de leider zich inspant om de volger te tackelen of anderszins uit balans te brengen, alsof deze getest moet worden. Situaties waaruit de volger zich altijd op sierlijke wijze weet te bevrijden met een air van : “Is dat nou alles wat je in huis hebt, jochie ?”. Dit spel wordt vaak vergeleken met een messengevecht.
Vroeger kon ik meer dan aardig ballroom dansen. Nu ik helemaal verargentijns ben is het niet raadzaam mij op de vloer te sturen voor een quickstep. Deze inter-extremiteitaire moves zijn voor mij een automatisme geworden. Mijn tante zou zeggen : “Dat wordt daar niet op prijs geapprecieerd !”

About the camera : Minolta XD5 was manufactured in Japan and released in 1979, two years after the XD7 (XD11 in certain markets). The camera was resized to the "gold dimensions" of the Barnack Leica (approx. 13x3x5 cm) as Olympus did for its OM1 several years before. Minolta XD5 is very closed to the XD7 body with only a few features suppressed. It has the same electronic shutter made of vertical metal shutters and offered for the first time the double mode of automatism with aperture priority (A) and shutter priority (S) with a new series of MD series. XD bodies served has basis for the Leica R4 to R7 SLR and was developped consequently with Leitz. XD camera were more expensive than Minolta X-700 and X-500 famous SLR and co-existed in the catalog from 1981 to 1984.
I found this late-model XD5 (post 1981) from my local photography shop with its likely normal original plain MD 1:2 f=50mm.

Picasso in The Metropolitan Museum of Art: April 27, 2010–August 15, 2010
Picasso painted this portrait of his new lover, the Surrealist photographer Dora Maar (Henriette Theodora Markovitch, 1907-1997), during their yearlong sojourn at Royan, a small town on France's southern Atlantic coast. As with many of Picasso's depictions of Dora, she confronts the viewer with wide-eyed and high-strung intelligence. Her sparkling eyes compete with the stars on the garish wallpaper behind her, presumably the same paper that decorated their rooms at the Hôtel du Tigre.
ABOUT THE SUBJECT:
Dora Maar (November 22, 1907 – July 16, 1997) was a French photographer, poet and painter of Croatian descent, best known for being a lover and muse of Pablo Picasso. Before meeting Picasso, Maar was already famous as a photographer. She also painted. She met Picasso in January 1936 on the terrace of the Café les Deux Magots in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Paris, when she was 29 years old and he 54. The famous poet Paul Éluard, who was with Picasso, had to introduce them. Picasso was attracted by her beauty and self-mutilation (she cut her fingers and the table playing "the knife game "; he got her bloody gloves and exhibited them on a shelf in his apartment). She spoke Spanish fluently, so Picasso was even more fascinated. Their relationship lasted nearly nine years.
Maar became the rival of Picasso's blonde mistress, Marie-Thérèse Walter, who had a newborn daughter with Picasso, named Maya. Picasso often painted beautiful, sad Dora, who suffered because she was sterile, and called her his "private muse." For him she was the "woman in tears" in many aspects. During their love affair, she suffered from his moods, and hated that in 1943 he had found a new lover, Françoise Gilot. Picasso and Paul Éluard sent Dora to their friend, the psychiatrist Jacques Lacan, who treated her with psychoanalysis.
She made herself better known in the art world with her photographs of the successive stages of the completion of Guernica, which Picasso painted in his workshop on the rue des Grands Augustins, and other photographic portraits of Picasso. Together, she and Picasso studied printing with Man Ray.
Maar kept his paintings for herself until her death in 1997. They were souvenirs of her extraordinary love affair, which made her famous forever. In Paris, still occupied by the Germans, Picasso left to her a drawing from 1915 as a goodbye gift in April 1944; it represents Max Jacob, his close friend who had just died in the transit camp of Drancy after his arrest by the Nazis. He also left to her some still lifes and a house at Ménerbes in Provence.
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Pablo Picasso (25 October 1881 – 8 April 1973) was a Spanish-born painter, sculptor, draughtsman, printmaker, decorative artist and writer, active in France. He dominated 20th-century European art and was central in the development of the image of the modern artist. Episodes of his life were recounted in intimate detail, his comments on art were published and his working methods recorded on film. Painting was his principal medium, but his sculptures, prints, theatre designs and ceramics all had an impact on their respective disciplines. Even artists not influenced by the style or appearance of his work had to come to terms with its implications.
With Georges Braque Picasso was responsible for Cubism, one of the most radical re-structurings of the way that a work of art constructs its meaning. During his extremely long life Picasso instigated or responded to most of the artistic dialogues taking place in Europe and North America, registering and transforming the developments that he found most fertile. His marketability as a unique and enormously productive artistic personality, together with the distinctiveness of his work and practice, have made him the most extensively exhibited and discussed artist of the 20th century.
1936 -1953: WAR YEARS AND LATER WORK:
(i) Spanish Civil War to World War II
Events of the next years impelled Picasso towards more public meanings for his hitherto personal symbols. On 14 July 1936 he contributed to Popular Front festivities in France. An enlargement of a gouache, Composition with Minotaur (28 May 1936), became the drop curtain for a performance of Romain Rolland’s play Le 14 juillet; although this belonged to a series of drawings on the Minotaur theme, the gestures and their context suggest a politicized imagery. After the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War on 18 July 1936, the Republican government appointed Picasso director of the Museo del Prado. In January 1937 he etched The Dream and Lie of Franco I and II (Bloch, nos 297 and 298) and wrote an accompanying poem to be sold for the benefit of the Spanish Republic. The sequence of scenes depicts the General as a grotesque polyp reminiscent of Alfred Jarry’s Père Ubu.
In January 1937 the Spanish Republican government asked Picasso to paint a mural for the Spanish pavilion at the Exposition Universelle in Paris, due to open in June. After a few preliminary sketches relating to the theme of the artist’s studio, on 1 May Picasso set to work on a vast painting, Guernica (oil on canvas, Madrid), finally spurred into action by the aerial bombing by the Falangists of the Basque town of Guernica five days earlier. He then worked intensively, producing more than 50 studies and making extensive revisions on the large canvas. Dora Maar, a Surrealist artist and new companion whom he had met in 1936, photographed seven moments in the production of the final work. Guernica was installed in Paris in mid-June; redolent with political allusions, reportage and historical references, it has since attracted numerous efforts at decipherment. Although a rich mine for analysis, its success as painting or political statement has been obscured by the fact that history has turned it into an icon. Its motifs produced numerous progeny of a more personal nature, but responses to the worsening situation in Spain and preparations for war in the rest of Europe are less in evidence; one such work is Night Fishing at Antibes (Aug 1939), which adopts jarring formal devices in a ritualized image of killing and detached observation.
After the invasion of France by the Germans in 1940, Picasso lived in his Paris studio on the Rue des Grands-Augustins. Although watched by the German authorities, he was able to work and even to cast some sculpture in bronze. Skulls and death’s heads evoke the sombre mood, for example in Death’s Head (1943). Similar imagery featured in paintings such as Skull, Sea Urchins and Lamp on a Table (1946). Le Désir attrapé par la queue (Paris, 1945), a play written by him in January 1941, deals with the privations of the occupation through the language of poetic automatism. On 19 March 1944 it received a private reading at the home of Michel and Louise Leiris; the participants, in addition to the Leirises, included Albert Camus, Simone de Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre and Dora Maar, and among the audience were the Braques, Brassaï, Jacques Lacan and Sabartés.
Shortly after the Liberation on 5 October 1944 L’Humanité announced that Picasso had joined the French Communist Party. The imagery of Massacre in Korea (1951) and the War and Peace murals (oil on fibreboard, 1954) was designed to win party approval. Picasso attended international peace conferences in Warsaw (1948), Paris (1949) and Sheffield (1950), received the Lenin Peace Prize (Nov 1950) and designed posters and a portrait of Stalin at the party’s request. From August 1947 he made ceramics at the Madoura potteries in Vallauris, partly motivated, it would seem, by political concerns. In contrast to this humble medium, however, he also produced a considerable number of bronze sculptures in the early 1950s, including some of his best-known works in the medium such as She-goat (1950) and Baboon and Young (1951).
(ii) Personal life, late 1930s to 1953
Picasso’s emotional life during this period continued to be turbulent. In the late 1930s he had liaisons with both Marie-Thérèse Walter and Dora Maar, continuing his involvement with Maar even after meeting a young painter, Françoise Gilot (b 1921), in 1943. Gilot and Picasso began living together in 1946 and had two children, Claude (b 15 May 1947) and Paloma (b 19 April 1949). The years of Picasso’s most active involvement with the Communist Party coincided with this relationship, but Françoise left in 1953. By contrast with these unstable romantic entanglements, Picasso had a profound and durable friendship from early 1936 with Paul Eluard, a supporter of the left and a Communist Party member from 1942, which ended only with the poet’s death in 1952. Before and after World War II Picasso spent an increasing amount of time in the Mediterranean; with the purchase in the summer of 1948 of La Galloise, a villa near Vallauris, he settled more permanently in the south of France, although he retained residences and studios in Paris. His international reputation had expanded and popularized during these years, beginning in 1939 with the publication in Life magazine of photographs of him taken by Brassaï in Paris and with the exhibition Picasso: Forty Years of his Art at MOMA in New York. After the Liberation Picasso’s marketability in the media was confirmed by a film, Visite à Picasso (1948), directed by the art critic Paul Haesaerts. Picasso was granted a retrospective at the first Salon d’Automne held after the Liberation, his first Salon showing in France. In 1946 he decorated the museum in Antibes, which was then renamed in his honour. International retrospectives took place in 1953 in Rome, Milan and São Paulo. Despite his political affiliations during the Cold War period, Picasso enjoyed prosperity and worldly success.
ABOUT THE EXHIBIT:
This landmark exhibition was the first to focus exclusively on works by Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881–1973) in the Museum's collection. It featured three hundred works, including the Museum's complete holdings of paintings, drawings, sculptures, and ceramics by Picasso—never before seen in their entirety—as well as a selection of the artist's prints. The Museum's collection reflected the full breadth of the artist's multi-sided genius as it asserted itself over the course of his long and influential career.
Notable for its remarkable constellation of early figure paintings, which include the commanding At the Lapin Agile (1905) and the iconic portrait of Gertrude Stein (1906), the Museum's collection also stands apart for its exceptional cache of drawings, which remain relatively little known, despite their importance and number. The key subjects that variously sustained Picasso's interest—the pensive harlequins of his Blue and Rose periods, the faceted figures and tabletop still lifes of his cubist years, the monumental heads and classicizing bathers of the 1920s, the raging bulls and dreaming nudes of the 1930s, and the rakish cavaliers and musketeers of his final years—are amply represented by works ranging in date from a dashing self-portrait of 1900 (Self-Portrait "Yo") to the fanciful Standing Nude and Seated Musketeer painted nearly seventy years later.

Etching and aquatint. This image started with a likeness of Dora Maar, who was known for her volatile temperment. Its distortions have also been attributed to the heightened tensions in Europe in this period, when the Spanish Civil War raged and world war threatened.

ABOUT THE EXHIBIT:
Picasso: Themes and Variations March 28–August 30, 2010, MoMA: Featuring approximately one hundred works, this exhibition explores Picasso’s creative process through the medium of printmaking, tracing his development from the early years of the twentieth century, with depictions of itinerant circus performers in the Blue and Rose periods, to his discovery of Cubism. It follows his evolving artistic vision through decades of experimentation in etching, lithography, and linoleum cut, demonstrating how each technique inspired new directions in his work. The exhibition focuses on specific themes, showing how Picasso’s imagery went through a constant process of metamorphosis. Printmaking, in particular, allows this fundamental aspect of his art to become vividly clear, since various stages in building a composition can be documented. One series of lithographs shows Picasso progressing, step-by-step, from a realistic depiction of a bull to one that is completely abstracted into schematic lines. Other series reveal changing interpretations of the women in Picasso’s life, as they become the subject of his art and a catalytic force behind his creativity.

The Bull (Le Taureau), state VI & VII: December 26, 1945
The Bull (Le Taureau), state XI: January 2, 1946
The Bull (Le Taureau), state XIV: January 17, 1946
This series of lithographs vividly demonstrates the kind of experimentation with lithography that Picasso undertook at the Mourlot print workshop in Paris after World War II.
Pablo Picasso created 'Bull' around the Christmas of 1945. 'Bull' is a suite of eleven lithographs that have become a master class in how to develop an artwork from the academic to the abstract. In this series of images, all pulled from a single stone, Picasso visually dissects the image of a bull to discover its essential presence through a progressive analysis of its form. Each plate is a successive stage in an investigation to find the absolute 'spirit' of the beast. To start the series, Picasso creates a lively and realistic brush drawing of the bull in lithographic ink. It is a fresh and spontaneous image that lays the foundations for the developments to come. Picasso used the bull as a metaphor throughout his artwork but he refused to be pinned down as to its meaning. Depending on its context, it has been interpreted in various ways: as a representation of the Spanish people; as a comment on fascism and brutality; as a symbol of virility; or as a reflection of Picasso's self image.
THE BULL (LE TAUREAU), STATE VI, December 26, 1945
At this stage, another new head and tail are created to conform to the style and direction of the developing image. Picasso introduces more curves to soften the network of lines that crisscross the creature. Once again he adjusts the line of the back which now begins as wave on the shoulders and flows like a pulse of energy along the length of its body. The two counterbalancing lines discussed in the previous plate are extended down the front and back legs to act like structural supports for the weight of the bull. All three of these lines intersect at a point that suggests the bull's centre of balance. Through the development of these drawings, Picasso is beginning to understand the displacement of weight and balance between the front and rear of the animal.
THE BULL (LE TAUREAU), STATE VII, December 26, 1945
As Picasso recognizes the balance of form in the bull, he starts to remove and simplify some of the lines of construction that have served their function. He then encases the essential elements that remain in a taut outline.
THE BULL (LE TAUREAU), STATE XI, January 2, 1946
Continues the reduction and simplification of the image into line with another reconfiguration of the head, legs and tail.
THE BULL (LE TAUREAU), STATE XIV, January 17, 1946
In the final print of the series, Picasso reduces the bull to a simple outline that is so carefully considered through the progressive development of each image, that it captures the absolute essence of the creature in as concise an image as possible.

Pablo Picasso (25 October 1881 – 8 April 1973) was a Spanish-born painter, sculptor, draughtsman, printmaker, decorative artist and writer, active in France. He dominated 20th-century European art and was central in the development of the image of the modern artist. Episodes of his life were recounted in intimate detail, his comments on art were published and his working methods recorded on film. Painting was his principal medium, but his sculptures, prints, theatre designs and ceramics all had an impact on their respective disciplines. Even artists not influenced by the style or appearance of his work had to come to terms with its implications.
With Georges Braque Picasso was responsible for Cubism, one of the most radical re-structurings of the way that a work of art constructs its meaning. During his extremely long life Picasso instigated or responded to most of the artistic dialogues taking place in Europe and North America, registering and transforming the developments that he found most fertile. His marketability as a unique and enormously productive artistic personality, together with the distinctiveness of his work and practice, have made him the most extensively exhibited and discussed artist of the 20th century.
1936 -1953: WAR YEARS AND LATER WORK:
(i) Spanish Civil War to World War II
Events of the next years impelled Picasso towards more public meanings for his hitherto personal symbols. On 14 July 1936 he contributed to Popular Front festivities in France. An enlargement of a gouache, Composition with Minotaur (28 May 1936), became the drop curtain for a performance of Romain Rolland’s play Le 14 juillet; although this belonged to a series of drawings on the Minotaur theme, the gestures and their context suggest a politicized imagery. After the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War on 18 July 1936, the Republican government appointed Picasso director of the Museo del Prado. In January 1937 he etched The Dream and Lie of Franco I and II (Bloch, nos 297 and 298) and wrote an accompanying poem to be sold for the benefit of the Spanish Republic. The sequence of scenes depicts the General as a grotesque polyp reminiscent of Alfred Jarry’s Père Ubu.
In January 1937 the Spanish Republican government asked Picasso to paint a mural for the Spanish pavilion at the Exposition Universelle in Paris, due to open in June. After a few preliminary sketches relating to the theme of the artist’s studio, on 1 May Picasso set to work on a vast painting, Guernica (oil on canvas, Madrid), finally spurred into action by the aerial bombing by the Falangists of the Basque town of Guernica five days earlier. He then worked intensively, producing more than 50 studies and making extensive revisions on the large canvas. Dora Maar, a Surrealist artist and new companion whom he had met in 1936, photographed seven moments in the production of the final work. Guernica was installed in Paris in mid-June; redolent with political allusions, reportage and historical references, it has since attracted numerous efforts at decipherment. Although a rich mine for analysis, its success as painting or political statement has been obscured by the fact that history has turned it into an icon. Its motifs produced numerous progeny of a more personal nature, but responses to the worsening situation in Spain and preparations for war in the rest of Europe are less in evidence; one such work is Night Fishing at Antibes (Aug 1939), which adopts jarring formal devices in a ritualized image of killing and detached observation.
After the invasion of France by the Germans in 1940, Picasso lived in his Paris studio on the Rue des Grands-Augustins. Although watched by the German authorities, he was able to work and even to cast some sculpture in bronze. Skulls and death’s heads evoke the sombre mood, for example in Death’s Head (1943). Similar imagery featured in paintings such as Skull, Sea Urchins and Lamp on a Table (1946). Le Désir attrapé par la queue (Paris, 1945), a play written by him in January 1941, deals with the privations of the occupation through the language of poetic automatism. On 19 March 1944 it received a private reading at the home of Michel and Louise Leiris; the participants, in addition to the Leirises, included Albert Camus, Simone de Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre and Dora Maar, and among the audience were the Braques, Brassaï, Jacques Lacan and Sabartés.
Shortly after the Liberation on 5 October 1944 L’Humanité announced that Picasso had joined the French Communist Party. The imagery of Massacre in Korea (1951) and the War and Peace murals (oil on fibreboard, 1954) was designed to win party approval. Picasso attended international peace conferences in Warsaw (1948), Paris (1949) and Sheffield (1950), received the Lenin Peace Prize (Nov 1950) and designed posters and a portrait of Stalin at the party’s request. From August 1947 he made ceramics at the Madoura potteries in Vallauris, partly motivated, it would seem, by political concerns. In contrast to this humble medium, however, he also produced a considerable number of bronze sculptures in the early 1950s, including some of his best-known works in the medium such as She-goat (1950) and Baboon and Young (1951).
(ii) Personal life, late 1930s to 1953
Picasso’s emotional life during this period continued to be turbulent. In the late 1930s he had liaisons with both Marie-Thérèse Walter and Dora Maar, continuing his involvement with Maar even after meeting a young painter, Françoise Gilot (b 1921), in 1943. Gilot and Picasso began living together in 1946 and had two children, Claude (b 15 May 1947) and Paloma (b 19 April 1949). The years of Picasso’s most active involvement with the Communist Party coincided with this relationship, but Françoise left in 1953. By contrast with these unstable romantic entanglements, Picasso had a profound and durable friendship from early 1936 with Paul Eluard, a supporter of the left and a Communist Party member from 1942, which ended only with the poet’s death in 1952. Before and after World War II Picasso spent an increasing amount of time in the Mediterranean; with the purchase in the summer of 1948 of La Galloise, a villa near Vallauris, he settled more permanently in the south of France, although he retained residences and studios in Paris. His international reputation had expanded and popularized during these years, beginning in 1939 with the publication in Life magazine of photographs of him taken by Brassaï in Paris and with the exhibition Picasso: Forty Years of his Art at MOMA in New York. After the Liberation Picasso’s marketability in the media was confirmed by a film, Visite à Picasso (1948), directed by the art critic Paul Haesaerts. Picasso was granted a retrospective at the first Salon d’Automne held after the Liberation, his first Salon showing in France. In 1946 he decorated the museum in Antibes, which was then renamed in his honour. International retrospectives took place in 1953 in Rome, Milan and São Paulo. Despite his political affiliations during the Cold War period, Picasso enjoyed prosperity and worldly success.

In Lyon, France, May 12, 2023 with my Minolta XD5 (years 1979-1984), Lyon, France.
The Minolta XD5 body was equipped with a Minolta MD (III) 1:2.5 f=100mm lens with a protective Hoya 49mm UV HMC Expert Slim filter or a generic 49mm yellow filter as indicated bellow.
The camera was loaded with an Ilford Pan100. panchromatic film exposed for 100 ISO using either the body light meter in the manual mode and/or checked with a Minolta Autometer III equipped with a 10° viewfinder for selective measuring privileging the shadow zones.

After exposures (I made 39 exposures) the film was processed using Adox Adonal developer (equivalent to Agfa Rodinal) at dilution 1+25, 20°c for 9min. The film was then digitalized using a Sony A7 body fitted to a Minolta Slide Duplicator installed on a Minolta Auto Bellows III with a lens Minolta Bellow Macro Rokkor 50mm f/3.5. The RAW files obtained were then processed without intermediate files in LR and edited to the final jpeg pictures.
All views of the film are presented in the dedicated album either in the printed framed versions and unframed full-size jpeg accompanied by some documentary smartphone Vivio Y76 color pictures.
About the camera : Minolta XD5 was manufactured in Japan and released in 1979, two years after the XD7 (XD11 in certain markets). The Minolta XD series was resized to the "gold dimensions" of the Barnack Leica (approx. 13x3x5 cm) as Olympus did for its OM1 several years before. Minolta XD5 is very closed to the XD7 body with only a few features suppressed. It has the same electronic shutter made of vertical metal blades and was the first SLR offering a double automatism with aperture priority (A) or shutter priority (S) when coupled to a new series of Minolta MD lenses. XD bodies served has basis for the Leica R4 to R7 SLR's and was developed consequently with Leitz. XD camera were more expensive than Minolta X-700 and X-500 famous SLR's and co-existed to the Minolta catalog from 1981 to 1984.
I found this XD5 from my local photography shop with its likely original normal lens : a Minolta MD (III) 1:2 f=50mm.
The Minolta lens MD (III) 1:2.5 f=100mm is part of my Minolta lens collection since year 2014. The lens has its own build-in shade hood with two coaxial telescopic cylinders particularly well designed and constructed.

Sculptor and his Self Portrait Serving as a Pedestal for the Head of Marie-Thérèse (Sculpteur et son autoportrait sculpté servant de socle à une tête de Marie-Thérèse), 1933 etching. In the 1930s Picasso made a series of one hundred prints, commissioned by publisher Ambroise Vollard and now known as the Vollard Suite. The series includes prints on various subjects, but the sculptor's studio is the most prominent. Among these is a group depicting a sculpted head resembling several that Picasso created inspired by his lover, Marie–Thérèse Walter. Many of these etchings include a female figure, also resembling Walter, who served as the artist's model and muse.
Marie-Thérèse Walter (July 13, 1909 – October 20, 1977) was the French mistress and model of Pablo Picasso from 1927 to about 1935, and the mother of his daughter, Maya Widmaier-Picasso. Their relationship began when she was seventeen years old; he was 45 and still living with his first wife, Olga Khokhlova. It ended when Picasso moved on to his next mistress, artist Dora Maar. While Picasso portrays Dora in his works of art as dark and in pain, as the "woman in tears", he painted Marie-Thérèse as just the opposite: blonde and bright.v
ABOUT THE EXHIBIT:
Picasso: Themes and Variations March 28–August 30, 2010, MoMA: Featuring approximately one hundred works, this exhibition explores Picasso’s creative process through the medium of printmaking, tracing his development from the early years of the twentieth century, with depictions of itinerant circus performers in the Blue and Rose periods, to his discovery of Cubism. It follows his evolving artistic vision through decades of experimentation in etching, lithography, and linoleum cut, demonstrating how each technique inspired new directions in his work. The exhibition focuses on specific themes, showing how Picasso’s imagery went through a constant process of metamorphosis. Printmaking, in particular, allows this fundamental aspect of his art to become vividly clear, since various stages in building a composition can be documented. One series of lithographs shows Picasso progressing, step-by-step, from a realistic depiction of a bull to one that is completely abstracted into schematic lines. Other series reveal changing interpretations of the women in Picasso’s life, as they become the subject of his art and a catalytic force behind his creativity.

With Georges Braque Picasso was responsible for Cubism, one of the most radical re-structurings of the way that a work of art constructs its meaning. During his extremely long life Picasso instigated or responded to most of the artistic dialogues taking place in Europe and North America, registering and transforming the developments that he found most fertile. His marketability as a unique and enormously productive artistic personality, together with the distinctiveness of his work and practice, have made him the most extensively exhibited and discussed artist of the 20th century.
1925-1935: PICASSO’S INTERACTIONS WITH SURREALISM:
André Breton, the chief theorist and promoter of Surrealism, claimed Picasso as ‘one of ours’ in his article ‘Le Surréalisme et la peinture’, published in the fourth issue of Révolution surréaliste (1925); the Demoiselles was first reproduced in the same issue. At the first Surrealist group exhibition (Nov 1925) Picasso showed some of his Cubist works. He never yielded completely to the concept of ‘psychic automatism in its pure state’ as defined in the first Manifeste du surréalisme—poisson soluble (Paris, 1924), but the movement did lead him to a new imagery and formal vocabulary for emotional expression, releasing the violence, the psychic fears and the eroticism that had been largely contained or sublimated since 1909. This shift towards a more overt expressiveness was heralded by The Dance (1925). Although it emerged from studies related to the ballet and was dependent on Cubism for its conception of space, the fusion of ritual and abandon in the imagery recalls the primitivism of the Demoiselles and the elusive psychological resonances of his Symbolist work. Resurrecting the memory of Casagemas, it also prefigures Picasso’s ritually staged Crucifixion (1930). Numerous images of women with devouring maws coincide with the breakdown of Picasso’s marriage to Olga, while polymorphously eroticized figures can be associated with a new liaison with Marie-Thérèse Walter, whom he met in 1927, although she did not openly appear in his work until the 1930s. Images of sexual intercourse between schematic stick figures or inflated monsters, as in Figures by the Sea (12 Jan 1931), suggest violent or ambivalent emotions.
(i) Renewed interest in Classicism
Surrealism not only rekindled Picasso’s fascination with the primitive and the erotic but also encouraged a conflation of his abiding interests in Classicism and the bullfight. The mythical hybrid monster known as the Minotaur, half-man and half-bull, became a favourite Surrealist image and the title of a Surrealist periodical, Minotaure, whose first cover Picasso designed in 1933. Symbolizing both destructive and creative powers, the Minotaur served Picasso as a new artistic identity. The complex etching Minotauromachy (1935) provokes multiple narrative and symbolic associations, ultimately stressing private meanings and never yielding a definite reading. In another etching, Model and Surrealist Sculpture (1933), Picasso wittily confronts the Classical with the fantastic, revealing his growing preoccupation with artistic practice and creativity. His treatment of the theme of the artist’s studio in late Cubist paintings such as Artist and Model (1928) and more naturalistic etchings culminated in 1933–4 in the classical idyll of The Sculptor’s Studio, a subsection of 46 of the 100 etchings gathered together in 1937 but offered for sale as the Vollard Suite only in 1950. In these works the artist is represented both as a contemplator and lover of his model/muse and as an active practitioner; and, in contrast to Picasso’s own experience, the making of art is depicted as a natural and unproblematic activity.
(ii) Experiments with different media
During these years less productive periods of painting alternated with outpourings of etchings and sculptures. In addition to the Vollard Suite, Picasso illustrated Balzac’s Le Chef d’oeuvre inconnu (Paris, 1931) for Vollard with etchings produced in 1927, Ovid’s Metamorphoses (Lausanne, 1931) for Skira and an English translation of Lysistrata (New York, 1934) for the Limited Editions Club. In spring 1926, having produced few sculptures or reliefs since 1915, he executed a group of assemblages, on the theme of guitars, out of cloth, nails and other materials, some protruding aggressively from the surface. Austere and disturbing, they were succeeded in summer 1930 by Surrealist-influenced bas-reliefs mounted on canvas and coated in sand, for example Construction with Bather and Profile (1930; Paris).
In 1921 Picasso had been approached to design a monument to Apollinaire. Finally in 1928, with the assistance of Julio González, a sculptor and trained metalworker, he realized some maquettes made of metal rods such as Figure (1928). This linear scaffolding became fleshed out with flattened metal shapes in Woman in the Garden (1929–30), a homage to Marie-Thérèse as well as a proposal for the Apollinaire monument. Although the submissions for the monument were rejected as too radical, the renewed association with González, whom he had known since 1902, produced ten collaborative sculptures over four years in Picasso’s most fruitful artistic dialogue since the Cubist venture with Braque.
Unlike the frontal and opaque earlier Cubist constructions, these metal sculptures proposed an open three-dimensional structure that described and marked out a transparently conceived space. Although their radicality portended much for the future of 20th-century sculpture, Picasso returned to a more Classicizing conception of mass and volume in the large metamorphic bronze heads produced in 1931–2 at Boisgeloup, for which Marie-Thérèse served as the inspiration; in works such as Head of a Woman (1931–2) her features were sometimes recast into a fetishized hermaphroditic image. In autumn 1935, having produced no paintings since May, Picasso wrote some Surrealist automatic poetry; this new venture marked the end of a decade of innovation, response to younger artists, doubt, inner reliance and self-assessment.
(iii) Personal life
The routine of Picasso’s private life at this time was also punctuated by periods of instability. He continued to spend the summer at seaside resorts, a habit he had established in the early 1920s. In 1933 and 1934 he took his family to Spain, visiting Barcelona (where he saw the Romanesque art in the Museu d’Art de Catalunya in 1934) as well as Madrid, the Escorial, Toledo and Saragossa. After considering and rejecting divorce, Picasso separated from Olga in June 1935. On 5 October Marie-Thérèse gave birth to a daughter, Maïa (María de la Concepción), named after Picasso’s sister. Although by now regarded as a major artist, he began to receive negative notices from those who perceived a decline in his more recent work. He exhibited widely, winning the Carnegie International prize in October 1930 and holding his first large retrospective at the Galerie Georges Petit, Paris, in June 1932. The proliferation of publications on his work included the monumental catalogue raisonné by Christian Zervos (first volume, 1932), followed one year later by the first volume of Bernard Geiser’s Picasso: Peintre-graveur. In July 1935, confronting fame and an apparent crisis in his work, Picasso invited his old friend Sabartés to join him as his secretary and business manager in November.

Françoise with a Bow in Her Hair (Françoise au Noeud dans les Cheveux), lithograph, June 14, 1946. Here Picasso employs some of Henri Matisse's signature devices, composing simply in lines and flat shapes. Picasso and Matisse renewed their friendship around this time, as both were in the South of France. Françoise Gilot and Matisse were also fond of each other.
Françoise Gilot (born November 26, 1921) is a French painter and bestselling author living in New York City and Paris. She is known for being the lover and artistic muse of Pablo Picasso from 1944 to 1953, and the mother of his children, Claude Picasso and Paloma Picasso. She later married the American vaccine pioneer, Jonas Salk.
She studied English literature at Cambridge University and the British Institute in Paris (now University of London Institute in Paris. While training to be a lawyer, Gilot was known to skip morning law classes to feed her true passion: art. Despite her mother being an artist herself, the extent of the young woman's artistic pursuits inexplicably drove her away from immediate family to her grandmother's attic. At 21, Gilot met Pablo Picasso, then 61. His mistress, Dora Maar, was devastated to learn that Picasso was replacing her with the much younger artist. Gilot would ultimately raise both of their children: Claude (born 1947) and Paloma (born 1949). The parents often captured their children's antics on canvas. Gilot maintained a relationship with the Spanish painter from 1944 until 1953. Eleven years after their separation Gilot wrote Life with Picasso, a book that sold over one million copies in dozens of languages despite an unsuccessful legal challenge from Picasso attempting to stop its publication. Another legal success was that Gilot secured the Ruiz-Picasso name for her children, Claude and Paloma, by the end of the 1960s.

This work came of age on march 11 2011, the day where Japan had known the "Fukushima Incident"
It's a mirror work to the famous infamous yellow cake supposedly to be found in Irak years before.
it is as well just a statement about the state of affair in our societies where to be lost does not necessarily make of you someone who is gonna be helped.
NEW KEEN (NUKE IN) IS THE NEW CLEAR (NUCLEAR..)(well) YELL'O C-ACHE
PS : 2025--->with this série, I achieved a mix of my graffiti background with some more typical ''abstract expressionnist' technique, a free hand, automatism.

Acrylic,alkyd paint on used paper
This work is not drawn by the plan.
First, a screen is filled with the rough dot by a paintbrush, and if a certain scenery appears there, it will be made clear and will be finished. The technique of that automatism is the feature of this series.

First attemps with an analogic reflex (an old Pentax ES II).
(Side note: no automatism was working, so it's already a big achievement that only some of them turned out too dark or too bright.)
Joan Miró
Spanish, 1893–1983
Oil on canvas
97 5/8 x 76 3/4 in. (248 x 194.9 cm)
"Soon after the artist Joan Miró moved to Paris from his native Barcelona in 1920, he met a group of avant-garde painters and writers who advocated merging the everyday rational world with that of dreams and the unconscious in order to produce an absolute reality, or surreality. To release images of this higher realm, the Surrealists embraced automatism, a spontaneous working method much like free association. Miró experimented with automatism: "Even a few casual wipes in cleaning my brush," he said, "may suggest the beginning of a picture." Between 1925 and 1927, his experiments unleashed a revolutionary series of works called the "dream paintings," which straddle abstraction and representation in freely moving, calligraphic compositions. In The Policeman, a large canvas from this group, two biomorphic shapes spring to life as a policeman and a horse, their forms defined by thinly applied white paint against a neutral ocher ground. The form on the left has sprouted five buds that act as fingers, and both forms extrude curves that suggest torsos or mouths. With graffiti-like dots and squiggles added to their heads to make eyes and a mustache, Miró’s shapes come to life in a liquid space as animated equivalents of a policeman and his horse."

'Verisimilitude', an exhibition by Felix Luque Sanchez in cooperation with Damien Gernay and Inigo Bilbao Lopategui.
'Felix Luque Sanchez (Oviedo, Spain, 1976) is an artist whose work explores how humans conceive their relationship with technology and provides spaces for reflection on current issues such as the development of artificial intelligence and automatism. Using electronic and digital systems of representation, as well as mechatronic sculptures, generative sound scores, live data feeds and algorithmic processes, he creates narratives in which fiction blends with reality, suggesting possible scenarios of a near future and confronting the viewer with her fears and expectations about what machines can do.'

Hundertwasser's original, unruly, sometimes shocking artistic vision expressed itself in pictorial art, architecture, environmentalism, philosophy, postage stamp and flag design, and clothing design (among other areas). The common themes in his work are a rejection of the straight line, bright colours, organic forms, a reconciliation of humans with nature, and a strong individualism. He remains sui generis, although his architectural work is comparable to Antoni Gaudi in its biomorphic forms and use of tile. He was inspired by the works of Egon Schiele from an early date, and his style was often compared to that of Gustav Klimt. He was fascinated with spirals, and called straight lines "the devil's tools". He called his theory of art "transautomatism", based on Surrealist automatism, but focusing on the experience of the viewer, rather than the artist.

This is a test of the new negative color film Harman Phoenix 200 with my Minolta XD5 SLR camera (years 1979-1984).
The Minolta XD5 body was equipped with a Minolta MD (III) 1:2.8 f=28mm lens with a protective Hoya 49mm UV HMC Expert filter and the original shade hood for the 28mm lenses.
The camera was loaded with the 36-exposure color film and exposed for 200 ISO using either the body light meter in the three modes available (M, A, S) and/or checked with a Minolta Autometer III equipped with a 10° viewfinder for selective measuring and privileging the shadow areas.

After exposures the film was processed using a local lab service using the C-41 process. The film was then digitized using a Sony A7 body fitted to a Minolta Slide Duplicator installed on a Minolta Auto Bellows III with a lens Minolta Bellow Macro Rokkor 50mm f/3.5. The duplication light was set to 4800K instead of 8600K for regular negative color film with the classical orange mask. The RAW files obtained were then processed without intermediate files in LR and finally edited to the final jpeg pictures.
All views of the film are presented in the dedicated album either in the printed framed versions and unframed full-size jpeg accompanied by some documentary smartphone Vivio Y76 color pictures.
The results shows that this experimental film by Harman is prone to strong halation in the hight lights giving a yellow halo. The film is also and characterized by a strong contrast.
About the camera : Minolta XD5 was manufactured in Japan and released in 1979, two years after the XD7 (XD11 in certain markets). The camera was resized to the "gold dimensions" of the Barnack Leica (approx. 13x3x5 cm) as Olympus did for its OM1 several years before. Minolta XD5 is very closed to the XD7 body with only a few features suppressed. It has the same electronic shutter made of vertical metal shutters and offered for the first time the double mode of automatism with aperture priority (A) and shutter priority (S) with a new series of MD series. XD bodies served has basis for the Leica R4 to R7 SLR and was developped consequently with Leitz. XD camera were more expensive than Minolta X-700 and X-500 famous SLR and co-existed in the catalog from 1981 to 1984.
I found this XD5 from my local photography shop with its likely normal original lens a Minolta MD (III) 1:2 f=50mm. The Minolta MD 1:2.8 f=28mm wide-angle lens is part of my collection of Minolta lens. So far it the time I use this lens for film photography.

Made fom 1974 to 1976, this is a very simple camera from Tokyo Kogaku, aka Topcon. This is a purely amateur camera from an era when Topcon decided already that camera making was not for them anymore. It is a far cry from the Topcon RE Super, but it is a nicely designed camera.
Speed selection is by means of a ring around the lens, a la Olympus and Nikkormat of the time. Surprisingly, no top shutter speed of 1000th. Anyway, we do get a form of automatism, this is a shutter priority camera, electronically controlled, hence the IC (internal circuit) mention. Probably the best about the camera is its lens a 6 element Topcor 50/2.
I don't think that they sold that many cameras during just 2 years of production. Anyway, a nice addition to my collection.
A panicked and anxious state of mind represented in depth and layers of movement after movement. Part of a series studying automatism and painting from the subconcious. Documenting and understanding expressionism.

"When, in the year 1913, in my desperate attempt to free art from the ballast of objectivity, I took refuge in the square form and exhibited a picture which consisted of nothing more than a black square on a white field, the critics and, along with them, the public sighed: 'Everything which we loved is lost. We are in a desert .... Before us is nothing but a black square on a white background!'"
– Kazimir Malevich, 'Suprematism', in 'The Non-Objective World' (1927).
"Those who might dispute our right to employ the term SURREALISM in the very special sense that we understand it are being extremely dishonest, for there can be no doubt that this word had no currency before we came along. Therefore, I am defining it once and for all: SURREALISM, Psychic automatism in its pure state, by which one proposes to express — verbally, by means of the written word, or in any other manner — the actual functioning of thought. Dictated by the thought, in the absence of any control exercised by reason, exempt from any aesthetic or moral concern."
– André Breton, 'First Surrealist Manifesto', Paris, 1924.

Title: Self and Self
Year: 2015
Medium: Graphite and Pen
Size: 18” x 12”
Description:
This work juxtaposes a directed self-portrait in graphite that I made in my AP Studio class with a self-directed automatist response that I made later. The theme is what we lose by focusing solely on visual accuracy: the second piece captures my unconscious, while the first is more an attempt to render the self I present to the world. The lines created through automatism intersect and create complex patterns that reflect the complexity of the self.

Alchemy is one of Jackson Pollock’s earliest poured paintings, executed in the revolutionary technique that constituted his most significant contribution to twentieth-century art. After long deliberation before the empty canvas, he used his entire body in a picture-making process that can be described as drawing in paint. By pouring streams of commercial paint onto the canvas from a can with the aid of a stick, Pollock made obsolete the conventions and tools of traditional easel painting. He often tacked the unstretched canvas onto the floor in an approach he likened to that of the Navajo Indian sandpainters, explaining that “on the floor I am more at ease. I feel nearer, more a part of the painting, since this way I can walk around it, work from the four sides and literally be in the painting.”¹ Surrealist notions of chance and automatism are given full expression in Pollock’s classic poured paintings, in which line no longer serves to describe shape or enclose form, but exists as an autonomous event, charting the movements of the artist’s body. As the line thins and thickens it speeds and slows, its appearance modified by chance behavior of the medium such as bleeding, pooling, or blistering.
When Alchemy is viewed from a distance, its large scale and even emphasis encourage the viewer to experience the painting as an environment. The layering and interpenetration of the labyrinthine skeins give the whole a dense and generalized appearance. The textured surface is like a wall on which primitive signs are inscribed with white pigment squeezed directly from the tube. Interpretations of these markings have frequently relied on the title Alchemy; however, this was assigned not by Pollock, but by Ralph Manheim and his wife, neighbors of the Pollocks in East Hampton.
