Este cuadro pintado en 1923 lo he disfrutado mucho. Lo vi en el Thyssen durante mi recién visita a Madrid. Aquí Picasso estaba cambiando de estilo, mas o menos, y se re-ajustaba al arte clásico, aunque no en los temas, pues había visitado Italia con Cocteau y vino muy inmerso en los clásicos.
Se piensa…por los rayos X…que este cuadro iba ser un autorretrato, inspirado por Arlequín, pero terminó con la máscara de Pierrot, y con un aspecto un tanto melancólico. Pero no vayáis a pensar que Picasso se convirtió en un clásico cualquiera, nada que ver, se siguió saltando las reglas. Bueno, al fin y al cabo era un genio…
Para los artistas…
Quiero que notéis el uso de los colores, como Picasso aplicó la teoría del color. También, podéis notar la manera de crear una composición al estilo clásico, pero usando una temática contemporánea, o una que no sea clásica. Las reglas del color, de la composición y del estilo se aplican para que el cuadro logre un tema valido, para que diga algo y para que exprese la filosofía del autor. Para eso, que mejor ejemplo que un Picasso…

I saw this work, painted in 1923, during my most recent visit to the Thyssen in Madrid and I greatly enjoyed it. Here Picasso was changing his «style» and seemingly was re-adjusting to the classical style, although not in the subject matter. He had just returned from Italy with his friend Cocteau and had re-immersed himself in the classics.
We think…according to X ray analysis…that this painting was going to be a self-portrait, inspired upon Harlequin. However, it ended up being a Pierrot with a face a bit melancholic. Now do not think that Picasso had become a classical painter, no, not at all. He continued to skip over the rules, after all he was a genius…
To the artists…
I would like you to notice Picasso’s use of colour, in accordance with the theory of colour and how he mixed them. You can also take note of how he composed the painting in the classical style but with a contemporary subject matter. The rules of colour and composition are very important in creating a work of art that reproduces a valid theme, that expresses ideas and emotions and that pushes forward the philosophy of the artist. For this, what better an example than a Picasso…

Yes, Picasso went through many periods where his paintings changed so much. Check out some of the videos and you will see why Picasso said «style» was unimportant and why he professed never to have had a style. Thank you Beth, and all the best.

Thank you, Francisco. This particular work, considering it Picasso, leaves me cold, considering the «genius» of his talent – this appears to be the effort of a beginner.

Well, even the «genius» of the XXth C. didn’t score a hat-trick in every match my friend. But I used it to signal out the mastery of colour and composition. I too agree that this is not a great painting but I think, considering the X-ray findings that it was more of an afterthought. Thanks so much and all the best.
