"Regarde, j'avais rempli cette coupe d'eau, j'ai retiré le verre et l'eau est restée à sa place sans qu'une goutte mouille mes mains. Maintenant j'ai brisé le verre et je ne sais pas où mettre cette eau."Dans cette pièce en six actes, quatre petites filles se trouvent placées comme par enchantement au beau milieu d'un jardin potager. Elles s'y racontent la vie, l'amour et la mort à coups de chansons, de dictons, parfois sans continuité. Cependant, pour qui prend la peine de s'approcher plus encore, c'est tout un monde de magie et d'angoisse qui apparaît. Serait-ce une image de l'adolescence ? La divagation d'un Picasso sauvage et malicieux ? Peut-être simplement une porte vers cette étrange poésie des mots.

About the author
Pablo Picasso
989 books962 followersPablo Ruiz Picasso was a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist, and theatre designer who spent most of his adult life in France. One of the most influential artists of the 20th century, he is known for co-founding the Cubist movement, the invention of constructed sculpture, the co-invention of collage, and for the wide variety of styles that he helped develop and explore. Among his most famous works are the proto-Cubist Les Demoiselles d'Avignon (1907) and the anti-war painting Guernica (1937), a dramatic portrayal of the bombing of Guernica by German and Italian air forces during the Spanish Civil War.
Picasso demonstrated extraordinary artistic talent in his early years, painting in a naturalistic manner through his childhood and adolescence. During the first decade of the 20th century, his style changed as he experimented with different theories, techniques, and ideas. After 1906, the Fauvist work of the older artist Henri Matisse motivated Picasso to explore more radical styles, beginning a fruitful rivalry between the two artists, who subsequently were often paired by critics as the leaders of modern art.
Picasso's output, especially in his early career, is often periodized. While the names of many of his later periods are debated, the most commonly accepted periods in his work are the Blue Period (1901–1904), the Rose Period (1904–1906), the African-influenced Period (1907–1909), Analytic Cubism (1909–1912), and Synthetic Cubism (1912–1919), also referred to as the Crystal period. Much of Picasso's work of the late 1910s and early 1920s is in a neoclassical style, and his work in the mid-1920s often has characteristics of Surrealism. His later work often combines elements of his earlier styles.
Exceptionally prolific throughout the course of his long life, Picasso achieved universal renown and immense fortune for his revolutionary artistic accomplishments, and became one of the best-known figures in 20th-century art.

Σουρεαλιστικό-βαθιά πειραματικό οπτικο-ηχητικό ποίημα-άσκηση ύφους.

داستان نداره. فقد توصیف و بازی با کلماته و انگار نوعی ناخوداگاه نویسی نقاشانهس.

Νταξ’. Του παραλογισμού. Δεν ξέρω αν είχε βαθύτερο νόημα αυτό το παραλήρημα, εγώ πάντως δεν πήρα χαμπάρι τίποτα.

Very colourful and incredibly absurd. Disjointed nebulous text with flashing images, which in first reading leaves you confused.
It is one of those books that become much more interesting upon analysis:
It was written towards the end of the war, and in the years he had his first children. In the text he captures a reality where trauma seamlessly and indiscriminately leaks into play.
Anything one would expect from cubist post-war writing
