Picasso in Fontainebleau

Exploring Picasso’s seemingly opposite styles and artistic processes during a three-month summer vacation

In the summer of 1921, on the west wall of his improvised garage studio in Fontainebleau, France, Pablo Picasso painted two large-scale and astonishingly different-looking pictures side by side. On the left hung his classicizing Three Women at the Spring, long associated with the "return to order" in the aftermath of World War I. To its right, Picasso worked on one of two versions of Three Musicians, often described as the culmination of his prewar Cubist style. The visual dissonance of this pairing still has the ability to shock. Yet, a close look at Picasso’s handling of materials, studio installations and fluid understanding of style reveals that these two seemingly incompatible works have more in common than meets the eye, as do other monumental works on canvas, small paintings, line drawings, etchings and pastels that he created in Fontainebleau during his brief three-month residency.
Published to accompany an exhibition that reunites Three Women at the Spring and Three Musicians with the richly varied body of work that emerged from Picasso’s Fontainebleau stay, this copiously illustrated catalog, including never-before-seen photographs and archival documents, offers an introduction by curator Anne Umland and 15 object-based essays coauthored by art historians and conservators.


PRAISE AND REVIEWS

Wall Street Journal

Lance Esplund

Brilliantly conceived, beautifully executed exhibition.

Guardian

Veronica Esposito

Thoughtful and ambitious, Picasso in Fontainebleau is a wonderful take on one of the best-known artists of the 20th century. It also offers a rare opportunity to enter the mind of the genius, one that probably will only be available once.

New York Review of Books

Jed Perl

The two versions of Three Musicians and of Three Women at the Spring, however radically different Picasso’s treatment of the twelve figures they include, are all variations on closely related themes: the trio or threesome as a kind of community; the monumentality of foursquare figures enclosed in a foursquare space; the concreteness of sharp-edged flat color shapes versus the concreteness of clearly delineated volumes.

ARTnews

Alex Greenberger

With its panoply of studies and failed artworks, the show sands down the notion that Picasso produced masterpieces overnight, that his first stroke was his best stroke.

New Yorker

Jackson Arn

Horror and delight commingle in the enormous, faux-neoclassical painting “Three Women at the Spring” (1921), on display as part of moma’s “Picasso in Fontainebleau"...Two dimensions have never looked hardier (even the clothes have breaths and heartbeats!), because everything this painter sees is alive.
