Picasso painting Dora Maar

Antonio Pessoa - best of

. Picasso painting Dora Maar , 2000 .

In the year 2000, Antonio Pessoa at his very very best of his Romantic Period, 1997 / 2002 , once again takes the role of a movie director and in the process of focusing his attention in one of Pablo Picasso's most emotionally controversial periods,specifically Picasso and Dora Maar relationship,brings the topic seriously to the canvas with the passionate accuracy of an enthusiastic biographer and the objective quality of nearness to the truth of what Pablo Picasso and Dora Maar was all about.
Antonio Pessoa,an incurable Picasso admirer,fact,nevertheless sharp and realistic enough in order to let his analytical criticism go free to the point of translating a complex emotional situation into art expression,comes up with a series of acrylic and oil on canvas where Pablo Picasso shows up as a ruthless whimsical genius taking artistic advantage out of an emotionally tortured Dora Maar,painting her rather as a screaming monster than as a sensitive suffering human being,troubled by love,pain,loss and very probably madness.
In the year 2000 Antonio Pessoa doesn't actually paint more than ten oils about Picasso painting Dora Maar.He drops it by leaving the collection on stand by for some obscure reasons and only four years later in Barcelona,a few months before his two art shows in Chicago,Illinois,he takes the subject one more time,but now totally straightforwardly decided to complete the task at least to a point of consummate satisfaction.
This time,Barcelona 2004,Antonio Pessoa's Picasso painting Dora Maar is going to have a success beyond his expectations,not only by achieving the art critics applause but most importantly by being acquired by two wealthy art collectors from Indianopolis,Indiana,just after Antonio Pessoa's 2004 Chicago art shows.
Picasso painting Dora Maar is unquestionably the best tribute Antonio Pessoa ever payed to the popular spanish genius.
