It’s Time To Try Generative Arts And Become “Femme Peinte Par Picasso”

Now it's time to experience the generative art, to feel his gaze, to become the love in his eyes and the woman painted by Picasso.

Picasso was a great caricaturist who sought out the details that made individuals instantly recognisable to themselves and others. As a schoolboy, he delighted in making quick character sketches of his fellow pupils, exaggerating their features and using props to identify them.

Jacqueline’s presence infused every aspect of Picasso’s art. It is her image that permeates from 1954 until his death. Picasso’s second wife Jacqueline (1927-1986) is immediately identifiable by her almond-shaped eyes and dark hair.

At the time of the Jacqueline portrait, Picasso was looking back at Old Master painters, engaging with artists such as Delacroix and Manet.

Picasso would stare at his subjects for hours and often complete the painting after the sitter had left. Now it’s time to experience the generative arts, to feel his gaze, to become the love in his eyes and the woman painted by Picasso:

When you look at these portraits, you feel Picasso’s vitality and his intense, concentrated gaze. It is as if he is standing next to you.
