Pain and Scream (Picasso painting Dora Maar ) António Pessoa 2004 ( mixed media )

Antonio Pessoa - best of

. pain and scream , 2004 .

"Pain and Scream" , Antonio Pessoa 2004,right out from the collection Picasso painting Dora Maar ,one of my favorites.
Here stands Pablo Picasso with the painting brush in his hand,the short genius with a half-smile on his face,looking plenty satisfied with his masterpiece,this masterpiece clearly showing a tearful-crying Dora Maar,topless and definitely an emotional wreck,ruined by love dilapidation and yet still a regular
in the studio of Mr.Picasso,in the street Rue des Grands Augustins,Paris.
Antonio Pessoa uses pastel smooth colors very probably purposely in order to give it a liquid grace to such a wrinkled situation.Pink colors contrasting with black humor,wisely creating a juxtaposition of morbid and farcical visual elements to give it a disturbing effect.
Pablo Picasso's portraiture by Antonio Pessoa easy and clearly reveals Picasso's character,the activity of his worldwide known selfishness well out in the open in this amazing piece,done in Barcelona 2004.
Definitely a close encounter of the weirdest kind between two talented artists,in the Twilight Zone of fine arts magic.
Biographer,artist and caricaturist,Antonio Pessoa parodies Picasso painting Dora Maar,somewhat in an exaggerated manner,however succeeding to express one of the most melodramatic affairs of Pablo Picasso, using on purpose theatrical poses and histrionic gestures in order to paint the despair of poor Dora Maar perilously breaking down at the hands of a titanic short tyrannical lover and absolute dictatorial sovereign named Picasso!
