クリスティーズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (クリスティーズInstagram)「Pablo Picasso's 'Femme dans un fauteuil', 1941 stands as a leading highlight of our Evening Sale of 20th Century Art in New York on 6 October.⠀ ⠀ The stylish Parisienne pictured in 'Femme dans un fauteuil' is the figure of Dora Maar, Picasso's great wartime paramour and muse.⠀ ⠀ Painted on 19 June 1941 — in the midst of the Nazi Occupation of Paris — this portrait of Maar forms part of an astonishing surge of artist creativity that began in May of that year. During this time, Picasso defied the ever-worsening events that were unfolding in his adopted home, and turned inwards, painting the world of his studio and those who filled it with an irrepressible energy.⠀ ⠀ Picasso's images of Maar are among the greatest of his wartime work. At times haunting, arresting, adoring and reverential, the visual power of these portraits is due in part to the symbiotic creative relationship the pair shared: Maar was not solely a muse, but, as an artist herself, she was an active participant in their intense artistic dialogue.⠀ .⠀ This work will be available for by-appointment viewing at Alexandra House in Hong Kong from 15-17 September.⠀ .⠀ Pablo Picasso (1881-1973), 'Femme dans un fauteuil', 1941.
