Description
Let's continue with furniture. The 50s chair was a recent freeby at DAZ. The green upholstery seems to be quite authentic for the times. I added green carpeting, potted plant, flowery wallpaper, and the 1945 "Tarzan and Amazons" poster. For good measure I added Kincaid too. Now the scene is complete

Maybe this is the beginning of your Green Period (watching Picasso's Blue Period).

Ha! I did Picasso's Blue years ago: . I love Picasso's Blue period, since that's the most of Picasso I watches in my childhood - Shchukin bought some 50 paintings - and these are Picassos I spent hours with in Moscow Pushkin Museum and Leningrad Hermitage. As for the TV series - I liked the last year "Einstein" well enough, but the current one is too boring so far, and even Antonio Banderas doesn't add anything, I afraid.

Yep, I agree. When you do a "great mind," a genius, the script should get into how that individual thought. I wanted to learn how Picasso thought about art and why he differed from the traditional in his time. Same with Einstein: we really didn't learn much about his ideas. And that movie on Stephen Hawking, "The Theory of Everything," or whatever they called it: again, same comment; we never learned much about what his theories were.

At least with theoretical physics (which was my major in University) it's close to impossible to explain ideas to general public. And in the "Einstein" there were some attempts - not exactly successful, but not totally wrong neither. With the art it should be much easier, but I didn't see even a single attempt yet. It starts with Guernica - so tell us more: why it is B/W, for example? [I didn't realize it until I saw it in Reina Sofia. I guess I assumed that the reproductions I saw before were just B/W photos of real thing.]

Thanks for the info. Any good readings or internet articles that would explain Picasso? You know, I think Woody Allen's "Midnight in Paris" came closer to explaining Picasso and his time. They haven't brought Gertrude Stein in yet. I hope they're not leaving her out. I believe she and he were quite good friends, and there's a way to get into a discussion of art.

I am woefully ignorant on theory (an little less) history of art. I never took any regular course. Which leave me free to invent my own theories (which I sometime search later on the Internet). Luckily I could see some great art when I was still young, so I learned to appreciate it without knowing any theories. I can't suggest any specific source on Picasso, though khanacademy.com seems to do a good job of introduction into art topics.

Thanks very much. I've got khanacademy.com saved as a favorite. If you get a chance to see Woody Allen's "Midnight in Paris," let me know what you think of it. My impression is that it helps to set the mood of the times and the personalities of the artists so much better than this "Genius" series is doing.

I love "Midnight in Paris", but that's completely different genre so the portraits there were more like caricatures. As with the best caricatures, you actually sometimes get to understand the person better than from the most portraits. Woody Allen use just few brush strokes to paint the image of era(s) in few minutes, which is more clear than dozens of hours of some TV serials. SFMOMA had a wonderful show the same year as the movie - "The Steins collect", which presented the works collected by Gertrude and her brothers (Picassos, Matisses, and many others). It was probably the best way to explore the period we saw in the movie.

I've seen at least two productions about Gertrude Stein and Alice, but not "The Steins Collect." I'll look for it. Woody Allen is a genius. I completely agree with your comments about using just a few brush strokes to paint the image of eras in a few minutes. Don't you wish this latest "Genius" series could do that? They haven't even brought in Gertrude and Alice yet! Well, it's not over. Perhaps it will get better.

Oops. By "show" I meant "exhibition", which happened in the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMoMA) in 2011 and in the Met (New York's the Metropolitan Museum of Art) in 2012. One can find a book with the same name (which is much more than just an exhibit catalogue) on Amazon.
The last episode of "Genius" is in my DVR, still unwatched.

I saw an episode of "Genius" last night. They did talk just a slight bit about painting.

Yep. But it was not much deeper than "I want to be different and original". They did started the line of Picasso vs. Matisse, which did play great role in their art (there were a lot written about it, as well as there was an exhibition on this topic in New York MoMA). We'll see Gertrude Stein (and Matisse) in the next episode.

Yes, I realize they did not go nearly deep enough into the discussion of art. Too much time spent on Picasso and his affairs. That actress who plays Dora: she was also Einstein's first wife. Boy, does she know how to project resentment and anger. Even a little too much, I think. Good, I'm glad Gertrude Stein is coming into the picture, and Alice, too, I hope (along with her brownies).
