de PALAU I FABRE, JOSEP
Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) is without doubt the most prolific andinfluential artist of the recently ended twentieth century.The various steps that critics and historians have managed to identify in hislong career have been more helpful with regard to the classificationof his works than in their analysis and interpretation. Abandoning the traditional use of subject matter to achieve variety and meaning,Picasso gradually reduced his options to a handful of standardizedmotifs but used a vast array of different styles as the principalmeans of communicating ideas and feelings. In short, style is meaningin Picassos art, his notoriously mercurial nature found expression in stylistic variety and experimentation. In the course of his longessay, Josep Palau i Fabre pinpoints the keys to understanding aperiod (1926-1939) and an artist who was fully aware of the complexity of his time and the timelessness of true art:"Repeatedly, I am askedto explain how my painting evolved.To me there is no past or future in art. If a work of art cannot live always in the present it must notbe considered at all.The art of the Greeks, of the Egyptians, of thegreat painters who lived in other times, is not an art of the past,perhaps its more alive today than it ever was.
