Гертруда Стайн

Pablo Picasso Spanish

1905–6 гг.

Not on view

Стайн позировала для этого знаменитого портрета в мастерской Пикассо в Париже, одетая в теплое коричневое вельветовое платье, покрывающее ее дородное тело. Впечатленный быстрым умом и свободной манерой американской писательницы, Пикассо предложил написать ее портрет. Осенью 1905 года начались многочисленные сеансы позирования, которые, по словам Стайн, достигли девяноста, что, скорее всего, являлось преувеличением, учитывая быструю манеру работы Пикассо. Весной 1906 года, неудовлетворенный тем, как вышло лицо, Пикассо закрасил его. Вернувшись той же осенью в Париж, художник без присутствия Стайн создал этот маскообразный лик, чей стилизованный под старину вид провозгласил новый стиль, сложившийся в течение летнего пребывания Пикассо в испанском Госоле. Пикассо осмелился приставить прото-кубистскую голову к телу розового периода, тем самым создав поразительно уникальный и иконописный образ.
