SFMOMA Tickets

Picasso: Seated Woman Poster

Now through the end of the month you have time to see Picasso and American Art, a San Francisco exhibit showing Picasso’s influence on contemporaneous American artists. On view are a range of works from Picasso to Pollack.

Allow me to interpret this painting, since the subject may not be obvious. In it, the artist tenderly embraces a seated model. That’s Picasso’s head in profile, on the right. Get it? No?

Cubist Study

I was able to capture one photo, before security dutifully advised me that taking pictures was not allowed! I believe this study was done in 1906-1907, around the time of Les Demoiselles d’Avignon. The influence of Cézanne is apparent. Picasso had transitioned to cubism, and it was works such as these that introduced him into American consciousness.
