About Portrait Of Françoise (Buste De Françoise) Pablo Picasso Painting
During the mid-1940s, while Paris was still under the burden of the Occupation, Pablo Picasso began a relationship with a young woman, Françoise Gilot, an artist in her own right. This would bring about an incredible, joyous liberation in his work. Painted in 1946, just after the end of the Second World War, Buste de Françoise is filled with a sense of celebration. The intense, rich colours and the sensuous flowing curves with which Picasso has so caressingly depicted Françoise's body and face speak of new-found freedoms, both with her and with the world at large. After the austerity of so much of Picasso's wartime output, for instance his melancholy, angular still life compositions and his tormented images of his lover Dora Maar, the lyrical, sensual form of Françoise made a bright, marked contrast. Looking at Buste de Françoise, the precedent of Marie-Thérèse Walter comes to mind, as the arcing forms which delineate Picasso's lover's body have been rendered with a similar sense of visual poetry. The intense palette and looping forms recall, say, Le rêve, Picasso's iconic image of Marie-Thérèse from just over a decade earlier. This is an effect that is heightened by his stained glass-like use of outlines to thrust the colour fields into more intense relief. However, where Marie-Thérèse was often shown asleep, Françoise has about her an intense vitality that is increased by Picasso's focus on her direct gaze, captured through the blue and red dots of her pupils.About the Art Prints
