Arts Council Meeting 20th October 2021

9/11/2021

Scribe: Khushi      Scribe:  Mutasim again
 
Theme: Colour in Painting, again
 
Paintings: Self-portraits by Pablo Picasso
                     The Dance, by Paula Rego
                     The Sleeping Gypsy, by Rousseau
                     Gouache painting of herself in a field of flowers, by Charlotte Salomon
 
This was a shorter meeting.  We looked again at Picasso’s self-portrait painted at the end of his life, and some of us thought it looked sad, with his lined, white face. His other self-portrait  was made soon after his friend had died in Spain.  We thought he chose the dark- blue colours to express his sad feelings. 

The strong colours of The Dance – on a beach in the evening – made the arrangement  very dramatic.

The Sleeping Gypsy was also unusual and made us wonder how the gypsy or the lion had got to that desert place as there were no footprints… and did the lion plan to eat the gypsy, or was it guarding him?  It didn’t look at all fierce but was just gently sniffing him!
