Pablo Picasso and the ‘Interior Scene’

 

For T J Clark (“Picasso and Truth) , the leitmotif of Picasso’s  enormously diverse production in the Twenties and Thirties – with its “galumphing nudes”, busy still lifes and myriad monsters – is his concern with representing interior space: “At the heart of Picasso’s understanding of life,” he writes, “lay an unshakable commitment to the space of a small or middle-sized room and the little possessions laid out on its table.” Later in life, when Picasso was asked why he had painted so few landscapes, he replied that he had never seen any.
