THE ROWER, A CUBIST MASTERPIECE BY PICASSO FROM 1910, IS NOW ON DISPLAY AS AN INVITED WORK AT THE MUSEO PICASSO MÁLAGA
- The Cubist painting The Rower, an oil on canvas in the collection of The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, was painted by #pablopicasso in Cadaqués in 1910. As an invited work, it can be seen in Room II of the Museo Picasso Málaga until May as part of the display Dialogues with Picasso. The Collection 2020-2023.
- The Rower last visited Europe more than thirty years ago when it was exhibited at the Öffentliche Kunstsammlung in Basel in 1989.
The Museo Picasso Málaga is delighted to announce that Dialogues with Picasso. The Collection 2020-2023 is now enhanced by the presence of an invited work: the major Cubist canvas by #pablopicasso entitled The Rower, painted in Cadaqués in the summer of 1910 and loaned from the collection of The Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, USA. The work is one of a group of masterpieces of Cubism, including Woman with a Mandolin (Ludwig Museum, Cologne) and Female Nude (National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C.,) which radically transformed the representation of the human figure.
Exhibited in Room II near to Jacqueline Dürrbach's tapestry version of Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, the painting reveals the transformation of the representation of the human figure in Picasso's oeuvre. In Les Demoiselles d'Avignon (1907) Picasso assembled the figures of the women from curved, flat segments but gave them masks which surge violently into three dimensions. In The Rower, however, he reconstructed the figure around a new Cubist scaffolding of curved and faceted forms. The individual elements of the body are suggested by curved and angled planes that expand or tilt backwards and forwards in space. Picasso drew the figure with lines of black paint then gave it texture through the addition of horizontal, rectangular strokes in white, shaded in places with ochre, grey and black. The Rower last visited Europe more than thirty years ago when it was exhibited at the Öffentliche Kunstsammlung in Basel in 1989.
On the basis of its title the painting has been been said to represent a man rowing, accompanied by his reflection in the water and ripples indicating the motion of an oar. However, an alternative reading of the figure as a seated woman seems more convincing. This work from The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, will be on display at the Museo Picasso Málaga until May in the form of an exchange for Picasso's Bull's Head (1942), which was loaned for inclusion in the travelling exhibition Calder-Picasso presented at the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco - de Young; at the High Museum, Atlanta; and at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, between 27 February 2021 and 30 January 2022.
