Painter In Paris: Around 1921 Man Ray (an American painter in Paris) and Laszlo Moholy-Nagy (a Hungarian painter working in Berlin) began to make their somewhat similar rayo-graphs and photograms. They went further than Schad, for they put three-dimensional objects on the sensitive paper; thus not only contours were recorded, but, cast shadows, and in the case of translucent objects, textures as well.
But Picasso continued to enjoy painting whole series of pictures. His variations on Edouard Manet's "Luncheon on the Grass" (bottom right) also follow the theme "painter and model". Manet's original was regarded as scandalous in Paris in 1863, because the painter had dared to depict a nude female figure at a picnic in the woods, and - to make matters worse-accompanied by two fully-dressed gentlemen. Picasso's version of 1961 (p. 85) includes all the basic features of the classical original. And there are two themes which were to occur again and again until Picasso's death: the painter is smoking, and he is sitting fully dressed opposite the naked model.
HARPIGNIES, ar-pe-nye', Henri (1819-1916), French painter of landscapes, who worked in both oils and watercolor. He was born on July 28, 1819, at Valenciennes, and studied in Paris under Jean Achard of Grenoble. He then traveled in Italy but did little painting there. Corot was the master he followed, and when Harpignies vas in financial straits, Carot generously helped him.
Harpignies' first exhibition was at the Paris Salon of 1853. |
