Picasso, Still Life with a newspaper and a violin.
-----------------------------------------
, Who first began to use the technique of newspaper clippings, a marriage, and he began to do in the summer of 1912. Picasso once picked up an innovation and interpret it differently.
In contrast to the collage, which deliberately used "antiklassichesky principle known as" Me'lange des genres "/mix of genres /clippings preserves the unity of funds. Along with the newspaper cutting pasted still a piece of "faux bois" /fake tree /in the form of a fragment violin. "Faux bois" - a term of another technique, which first used the marriage. Elements of this technology can be found in the works of Picasso and Braque. In "Still Life with a newspaper and a violin" Picasso perfectly uses tissue paper in order to emphasize the color plots. The plasticity of the early works of the period of analytical Cubism gave way to a purely two-dimensional scheme. Spatial illusion ceased to play any significant role.

  Picasso, Still Life with advertisement in
-------------------------------------------------
"Still Life with" ads "are starting a second series of collages done by Picasso around January 20, 1913, after returning from Barcelona with a new mistress Eva. Compared with the "Still Life with newspaper and a violin" here we can state a greater degree of artistic freedom.

For example, Picasso fills the background compositions painted paper and has an imitation of a large packing box store "Au bon marche" by advertising its main rival, "La Samaritaine" (two famous Parisian stores). Advertising "La Samaritaine", which is located in the upper part of the picture, reproduced in part. The last two syllables are blurred, and the text is a portrait of a very neatly dressed ladies. To one side of the box he makes a synthetic image of a glass and carafe, and puts a newspaper clipping with the news of the murder. In the middle of all this is interrupted cut scraps of words from which we can decipher the words "TROU" (hole) and "ICI" (here), so Picasso once verbally reiterates and reinforces the visual and conceptual game.

Different materials, adjoining on the same plane, creating a wonderful visual effect.
If the collage and provided new opportunities for experimentation with the matter itself, with pre-cut shapes of objects, even if the real objects were included in the composition (such as boxes made by tobacco and cigarettes, newspapers, etc. in 1914), nevertheless all that - contrary to popular opinion - had nothing to do with the return to realism. Collage (newspaper clippings), by contrast, is an expression of a completely different experience: the opening of the extraordinary capacity for rehabilitation, to synthesis, which has cubism, as understood by Picasso and Braque, to create a new pictorial spatiality. When a figure called Picasso's "synthetic" (which does not imitate reality, and abstracts to the basic forms of identification marks), the violin has been combined with synthetic, truncated form of the violin, and this newspaper clippings, as in "Still Life with a newspaper and a violin ", a new object, which was neither pattern nor the picture. The surface of the product has become a meeting place for different materials and soft reliefs, created an entirely new optical effect.

The new visual space arises from a collage of real forms and cubist paintings, and uses the value and hard copy printed letters as an integrated form of imaging. Created in this way composition is complemented by a collage of oil painting. So was the refusal of a single visual space, invented five centuries ago, along with the prospect. Over the next sixty years of Picasso's creativity never ceases to use won creative freedom, as in the works are clearly inspired by the classics, as well as in surrealism, the birth of which can, to some extent, to follow the example established in winter 1913-1914 period the "Woman in an armchair "in" Guernica "and the works of war, as well as in his later works - they are all constructed in this" synthetic "space.
