"Portrait of Ambroise Vollard"

Pablo Picasso (i) - Oil On Canvas (i) - 92 x 65 cm - 1910 - (Pushkin State Museum (Moscow, Russia)) (i) - Analytical Cubism (i)
The Portrait of Ambroise Vollard , created by the renowned Spanish artist Pablo Picasso in 1910, is a seminal work that exemplifies the principles of Analytical Cubism. This oil-on-canvas painting measures 92 x 65 cm and is currently housed at the Pushkin State Museum in Moscow, Russia.
Background and Significance
Ambroise Vollard was a French art dealer who played a pivotal role in launching Picasso's career. In 1901, Vollard presented Picasso's first exhibition, which led to the sale of many of his works. Despite some disagreements over the price of Picasso's work, their professional relationship lasted for many years.
Description and Style
The painting depicts Ambroise Vollard with downcast eyes, a massive bald head, a bulbous nose, and a dark triangle of beard. These features are recognizable but not presented in a conventional pictorial sense. Instead, Picasso uses broken architecture and planes to create a kind of caricature, transfiguring Vollard's head and emphasizing its massive dome.
Technique and Influence
Picasso's analytical approach to Cubism is evident in this painting. He breaks down the subject into geometric shapes and reassembles them in a non-realistic manner. This technique creates a sense of instability and challenges the viewer's perception of reality. The painting also reflects Picasso's interest in exploring the relationships between artist, model, viewer, and painting.
Legacy and Current Location
The Portrait of Ambroise Vollard is considered one of Picasso's most important works from his Analytical Cubism period. It is a testament to the innovative style that characterized this phase of his career. For more information on Pablo Picasso and his artwork, visit Pablo Picasso at WahooArt.
