Blue Period
The light stopped being beautiful. It became truth. The world is dyed in a cold monochrome where silence weighs heavy.
Look at this:
- Long shadows, cold skin.
- Sea and sky merged in sadness.
Rose Period
The circus arrives at the port. Terracotta tones and a melancholic tenderness envelop the structure.
Look at this:
- Soft, almost liquid lines.
- Dusty ochre and flesh tones.
Proto-Cubism
The rupture. La Farola ceases to be a building to become an ancestral mask carved in wood.
Look at this:
- Aggressive, striated shading.
- Raw, angular geometry.
Analytical Cubism
Breaking the mirror. Reality explodes into facets to be seen from all angles at once.
Look at this:
- Monochrome to focus on form.
- The object merges with the air.
Synthetic Cubism
The reconstruction. Picasso glues reality onto the canvas. Paper, textures and flat shapes that dance.
Look at this:
- Wide, cut-out color planes.
- Simulated textures (wood, paper).
Neoclassical Period
Return to calm. La Farola becomes a Roman column, eternal, heavy and monumental.
Look at this:
- Giant sculptural volumes.
- White Mediterranean light.
Surrealism
The logic of desire. Stone becomes soft and architecture bends like a living body.
Look at this:
- Biomorphic and sexual forms.
- Acidic, unreal colors.
Expressionism
The scream. Black, white and gray. Painting doesn't decorate, it's an instrument of offensive war.
Look at this:
- Dismembered, cutting figures.
- Newsprint texture.
Late Period
The eternal child. Picasso unlearns to paint with savage urgency. Form doesn't matter, only life.
Look at this:
- Gestural, rapid brushstrokes.
- Vibrant primary colors.
Experience the originals where it all began.
