Story "The Cat with a bird in his mouth." This is a parable? What does it mean?

[Meister]

Well, not everything must be reduced to such simplicity ... absolutely do not agree that the aggressive plot shows what is the natural aggression of the artist ... perhaps the artist (I'm not talking about Yakovlev) excited at the moment it is precisely this issue and he wanted to convey share their experiences with others ... the essence of painting is to convey emotions, whatever they were ...


Nik, I will explain why we are trying to find the answer to this question ... understanding of the origins of the plot is one of the most important factors in understanding the artist's work, and, accordingly, its value and significance ...

Colleagues, do not argue. Question resolved. Specifically, in the case with Yakovlev - it's still the influence of Picasso. Yesterday was lucky to meet a very well-known collector, a connoisseur of creativity in the Sixties and one of the leaders of Stock VI Yakovlev. It turns out that such a question (why a cat with a bird, why such a plot?) During the life of the artist asked. In short, the guess was correct: Yakovlev went to a good lecture on the history of art and it had a strong impression of Picasso's "Guernica" and "wounded bird and cat. Likely refers to "the wounded bird and cat," 1939 (written 1938, but at the canvas above the date in my April 22, 1939). And maybe some other version, but not the essence. Impression - from there. It is clear that cats Yakovlev - other, it is not even rethinking, and other development. By the way, own a cat Yakovlevskij very different. Live a very strong impression.

Here are two cats Picasso:

His own style and his own way in art Yakovlev finds in the late 1950's-after arriving in Moscow the famous exhibition of Pablo Picasso (the Pushkin Museum to them. A. S. Pushkin, 1956) and exhibition of contemporary Western European and American art, held in the framework of the VI world festival of youth and students in 1957. That's when the meeting Yakovleva with the work of Picasso, which had on it a powerful effect. In particular, under the influence of Picasso and Yakovlev himself spoke directly about this relationship - in painting and drawing Yakovlev appears motif of a cat with a bird. Now that the Picasso painting "Cat devouring a bird" (1939), which Yakovlev seen in Moscow, is in the permanent exhibition of the National Museum of Pablo Picasso (Paris). At the exhibition in MAMMA, you will see the graphic works of Picasso from the collection of the Paris Museum with the same motive - in particular, "the Cat that eats the cock" (1953).
