- Title
LIFE (LOVE) AND DEATH OR EROS AND THANATOS IN THE PAINTING OF HENRY MATISSE AND PABLO PICASSO.
- Authors
MUNTEAN, MARCEL GHEORGHE
- Abstract
Themes like life, joy, love and death, the ones of Eros and Thanatos are probably the most representative of the XX-th century, being in fact a leitmotif for the entire European creation and not only. Personality of the modern French art, Henry Matisse (1869-1954) brought into his art the conciliation between the flat tint and the suggestion of the volume, between the space and transfiguration of the light- color, being different from the one known by the Renaissance artists as a vehicle of brightness in relation to the shadow. Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) exponent and promoter of Cubism along with George Braque, will paint passionately a series of paintings inspired by the global drama of humanity, for example: Guernica, Massacre in Korea, War and Peace, paintings that are to become a veritable antiwar manifesto transposed within modern painting.
