Frame
The frame is made of high-quality plastic (PS) that exudes a modern essence with its smooth black finish, 5cm wide and 3cm thick. Its sharp, refined lines make it an ideal choice for contemporary art, especially complementing abstract works, minimalist styles or monochrome paintings . The textured frame is compatible with contemporary art or any artwork that makes a bold, outspoken statement. It is versatile enough to accommodate different sizes and can create complex contrast against bright colors or enhance the depth of dark tones. Designed to blend the past and the present, this frame is suitable for both classical and contemporary art forms.
aime Sabartes liked to see himself as 'the progenitor of Bue period blueness.' In this portrait Picasso has merged the profile of Casagema(a close friend who comitted suicide) with that of Jaime Sabartes. The portrait is distinguished not only for its blue tonality but also for its sobriety and the use of an enclosing line, which in its simplicity fixes an idea: the artist's compassion upon surprising his friend in his solitude.
Sabartes left a description of how this painting came about. He was sitting alone and bored at the Cafe La Lorraine when Picasso appeared with their friends. "Unwittingly, I was serving as a model for a picture, a potrait about which I retain two distinct memories: the memory of my unpremeditated pose, in the cafe...( when I was thinking I was alone, I fell into the trap of Picasso's stare), nd the other is the impression I received a few days later in [his studio]...When Picasso put it up on the easel, I was astonished to see myself...[and] the specture of my solitude as Picasso saw it.
