THE PICASSO FANZINE NUMBER 1




PABLO PICASSO'S PAINTING "WOMAN CARRYING LOAVES" PAINTED IN 1906. (SEE FOOTNOTE 1) SEE IMAGE ON THIS PAGE.



PICASSO'S PHILOSOPHY OF ART IS A PRACTICAL AND MASTERFUL MECHANISM THAT ALWAYS FASCINATES THE VIEWER OF THE PICTURE WITHOUT THE “AVERAGE PERSON” (SEE FOOTNOTE 2) KNOWING PRECISELY WHY. I WANT TO EXPLAIN WHAT THIS STATEMENT MEANS. THIS SEMI-CONTEXTURAL ESSAY DISCUSSES PABLO PICASSO'S PAINTING "WOMAN CARRYING LOAVES". ON THE ONE HAND I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE PAINTING OTHER THAN IT WAS PAINTED BY PICASSO IN 1906 AND I ONLY PRESENT IN THIS ESSAY WHAT I PERSONALLY SEE AND THINK ABOUT IT. THIS IS THE “ISOLATIONIST” APPROACH TO DISCUSSING ART. ON THE OTHER HAND I WILL QUOTE FROM PABLO PICASSO HIMSELF CONCERNING HIS PHILOSOPHY OF ART ( I.E., I AM ADDING CONTEXTURAL INSIGHTS). THEREFORE THIS MAKES THE ESSAY A SEMI-CONTEXTURAL CRITICAL ART ESSAY.



LET US READ THIS IMPORTANT QUOTATION (SEE FOOTNOTE 2):PABLO PICASSO SAID THIS:"YOU CAN'T IMPOSE YOUR THOUGHT ON PEOPLE IF THERE'S NO RELATION BETWEEN YOUR PAINTING AND THEIR VISUAL HABITS. I'M NOT SPEAKING OF THE CONNOISSEUR OF PAINTING, I MEAN THE AVERAGE PERSON WHO'S VISUAL HABITS ARE PRETTY CONVENTIONAL. HE SEES A TREE IN A CERTAIN FASHION, IN AN ACCORDANCE WITH THE HABITS HE FORMED IN CHILDHOOD...IF YOU TAKE A COMMON PLACE WAY OF SEEING {SOMETHING} AND TRY TO CHANGE THE SLIGHTEST DETAIL IN IT, EVERYONE SHOUTS,"OH NO, ITS NOT POSSIBLE. THAT'S NOT THE PORTRAIT OF MY GRANDMOTHER…" (FOOTNOTE 2, PAGE 72). LET US CALL THIS QUOTATION "PICASSO'S PHILOSOPHY OF ART".



I AM NOW LOOKING AT THE PAINTING CALLED "THE WOMAN CARRYING LOAVES" AND UNDERSTAND PICASSO'S PHILOSOPHY OF ART TO MEAN THIS: IN HIS PHILOSOPHY OF ART PICASSO IS SUGGESTING THAT FOR THE “AVERAGE PERSON” TO SEE THE BEAUTY AND CLEVERNESS IN HIS PAINTING, HE, PICASSO, HAS TO DEVELOP A WAY OF SHOWING THEM WHAT IT IS AND ISN'T: "YOU CAN'T IMPOSE YOUR THOUGHT ON PEOPLE IF THERE'S NO RELATION BETWEEN YOUR {IDEA OF} PAINTING AND THEIR VISUAL HABITS." HOW CAN PICASSO SHOW YOU WHAT IS BEAUTIFUL, IF YOU CAN NEVER SEE IT DUE TO YOUR “HABITS FORMED IN CHILDHOOD”? FOR EXAMPLE LET US MORE CLOSELY LOOK AT THE PAINTING CALLED "THE WOMAN CARRYING LOAVES"; PICASSO IS A CLEVER ARTIST AND HE HAS PAINTED SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL AND UGLY, AND HE IS POINTING OUT THAT THE “AVERAGE PERSON” WILL NOT SEE WHAT IS BEAUTIFUL DUE TO THEIR INGRAINED CHILDHOOD HABITS. LET US CONTINUE TO EXPLAIN THIS PHILOSOPHY.



LET US LOOK AT THE PAINTING AGAIN AND LET US FIRST ASK THE SOLID QUESTION:"WHAT DOES THE AVERAGE MAN SEE?" CLEARLY, HE SEES A WOMAN CARRYING TWO GIANT LOAVES ON HER HEAD. BUT THIS IS THE VERY POINT PICASSO IS TRYING MAKE. WHAT I MEAN IS THIS, WE WILL TAKE IMMENSE TIME AND CURIOSITY IN EXAMINING THE LOAVES ON HER HEAD, AND ASK A THOUSAND QUESTIONS ABOUT THEM; AND ON CLOSER LOOK WE WILL EVEN ASK IF THEY ARE LOAVES OF BREAD AT ALL, WHICH IS PICASSO'S VERY POINT. BUT WHAT IF WE THOUGHT ABOUT THE PAINTING A LITTLE MORE; WHAT IS JUST AS OBVIOUS? CLEARLY IT IS THE BEAUTY OF THE WOMAN THAT WE RARELY, IF EVER, NOTICE, OR NOTICE FINALLY AND AT LAST. PICASSO IS SAYING THIS:WHY DO WE HABITUALLY LOOK AT THE UGLY LOAVES OF BREAD WHEN WE SHOULD LOOK FIRST AT THE BEAUTY OF THE WOMAN? AND WHEN WE FINALLY LOOK AT THE BEAUTY OF THE WOMAN, WE DISCOVER IT IS THE UGLY LOAVES THAT HAVE HELD THE MOST FASCINATION FOR US. REMEMBER THE TITLE OF THE PICTURE "WOMAN CARRYING LOAVES" SO WHY SHOULD WE SPEND MOST OF OUR TIME LOOKING AT THE LOAVES, WHEN THE WOMAN IS PAINTED FAR MORE BEAUTIFUL?

IN SUMMARY IN THIS ESSAY I HAVE EXPLAINED PICASSO'S PHILOSOPHY OF ART, IN THIS INSTANCE, AND USING ONLY THIS PICTURE, WHY IT WILL ALWAYS FASCINATE THE VIEWER WITHOUT THE AVERAGE PERSON KNOWING PRECISELY WHY. END. THE EDITOR OF THE PICASSO FANZINE. 4/14/2026.
