The emphatic swirls of paint that fill the background contrast with the strong verticals of the pipe and chair, creating a powerful dynamic. Having been acquired in 1984, the monumental work has never previously been offered at #auction. The #musketeer signals an allusion to the Old Masters, and through that, the artist’s desire to paint himself into the European artistic canon. In these final years, Picasso immersed himself in #masterpieces by the likes of #Velásquez, #Rembrandt, El Greco and #Goya – projecting slides blown up to a gigantic scale onto his studio wall. He then incorporated the subjects and motifs of art historic tradition into works that are profoundly modern in their spirit and style. On view to the public in our #London galleries from tomorrow, ahead of our #Impressionist & Modern Art Evening Sale on 19 June. #SothebysImpMod #PabloPicasso」6月14日 1時22分
