Pablo Picasso was the most influential and successful artist of the 20th century. Painting, sculpture, graphic art, and ceramics were all profoundly and irrevocably affected by his genius.
As the son of a professor of art, Picasso’s talent for drawing was recognized at an early age. An advanced student at the Barcelona Academy of Fine Arts from the age of 14, he experimented in his youth with nearly all of the avant-garde styles current at the turn of the century, an early demonstration of his lifelong ability to assimilate aesthetic ideas and to work in a variety of styles.
For Picasso, the meaning of art was to be derived from other works of art, and not directly from nature. Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec’s work had a significant impact on his early paintings, as did the work of Paul Cezanne. Their influence, among others, can be detected in the paintings of Picasso’s "blue period", which was stimulated by his exposure to life and thought in Paris, where he made his home after 1904. In works such as The Old Guitarist, he created evocative portrayals of blind, impoverished, or despairing people in a predominantly blue palette. His use of blue as a motif was apparently derived from the symbolic Maeterlinck and Oscar Wilde, whose work often derived its force from depictions of madness or illness. Although his palette and subject matter changed when he entered what is called his "rose period, during which he painted harlequins and circus performers in a lighter and warmer color scheme, an underlying mood of spiritual loneliness and lyrical melancholy that marked his "blue" paintings was retained. These paintings, however, do display a classical calm that contrasts clearly with the nervous expressionism of the blue period.
Picasso’s "Blue Period" could be characterized as______.
选项
A、autobiographical
B、light-hearted and romantic
C、filled with melancholy
D、a touch of traditional art forms
答案
C
解析
依据文章末尾部分“the nervous expressionism of the blue period”,不难看出“蓝色时期”有一种对于心灵空虚所蕴含的心情和抒情的忧愁,故选项C是正确的。
