| Pablo Picasso, Harlequin, 1917, oil on canvas, Museu Picasso, Barcelona, © Estate of Pablo Picasso / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York LACMA recently loaned its prized portrait of Sebastia Juñer Vidal(1903) by Pablo Picasso to the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, Massachusetts, and the Museu Picasso in Barcelona for their exhibition Picasso Looks at Degas. Not wanting the galleries to be without an example of Picasso’s figural portraiture, the curators have arranged for the Museu Picasso’s Harlequin (1917) to be on view in LACMA’s modern art galleries through the end of January 2011. This painting demonstrates Picasso’s return to neoclassical style after his earlier cubist experiments. The Portrait of Sebastia Juñer Vidal is from the Picasso’s famed Blue Period, where his blue palette and his portraits of tragic outcasts display the palpable loneliness often present in his work. |
