Description:
|
Shortly after moving into 'La Californie', near Cannes, Picosso produced a series of paintings representing the interior of his new studio. In the 1950s, Picasso's style changed once again, as he took to producing reinterpretations of the art of the great masters. He made a series of works based on Velázquez's painting of Las Meninas. He also based paintings on works by Goya, Poussin, Manet, Courbet and Delacroix. Those influences are evident in this painting. The inclusion of a Moroccan brazier in the lower left, instantly recalls Delacroix (and Matisse's studio scenes). The organization of the space recalls Las Meninas and the placement of a blank canvas at the very center of the studio is a reference to Gustave Courbet, The Artist's Studio (1855).
