I was researching for ideas for sofas for new paintings
and ran across a similar sofa to this and fell in love.
This sofa inspired this painting. Here is the link
Name Design Studio
They were so nice to give me permission to use their
furniture photos. They do such lovely, unique, artistic
work. Check them out when you can. I am about to ask
about a couple more photos for my work.
I have been wanting to do
some of Picasso's from his Black and White Exhibit.
The center painting is the Poster from this exhibit.
Picasso - Black and White Exhibit
Few artists have exerted as considerable an influence over subsequent
generations as Pablo Picasso (1881–1973). While his work is often seen
through the lens of his diverse styles and subjects, the recurrent motif
of black, white, and gray is frequently overlooked. Picasso Black and White
presents a unique and illuminating perspective on a lesser-known but
fascinating aspect of his formidable body of work. Claiming that color
weakens, Picasso purged it from his work in order to highlight the
formal structure and autonomy inherent in his art. According to Carmen
Giménez, his repeated minimal palette correlates to his obsessive
interest in line and form, drawing, and monochromatic and tonal values,
while developing a complex language of pictorial and sculptural signs.
The recurrent motif of black, white, and gray is evident in his Blue and
Rose periods, pioneering investigations into Cubism, neoclassical
figurative paintings, and retorts to Surrealism. Even his later works
that depict the atrocities of war, allegorical still life's, vivid
interpretations of art-historical masterpieces, and his sensual canvases
created during his twilight years continued to apply a reduction of
color. Picasso Black and White will demonstrate how the artist
was continuously investigating, inventing, and drawing in somber and
austere monochromatic tones throughout his career.
