Description du projet
Faire le tableau des premières œuvres de Picasso
Le peintre espagnol Pablo Picasso est sans aucun doute l’un des artistes les plus célèbres et les plus influents du monde. Son nom est synonyme d’art moderne. Le projet DEPART, financé par l’UE, entend poser les bases d’une future plateforme internationale de mise en réseau des musées Picasso. Dans un premier temps, il analysera les premières créations de l’artiste (peintures et art graphique), dont beaucoup sont conservées au musée Picasso de Barcelone. Plus précisément, il passera en revue les techniques et matériaux utilisés par le peintre pour ses premières œuvres (1895-1900). Les résultats obtenus mettront en lumière les ambiguïtés qui subsistent à propos des différents discours artistiques de Picasso et contribueront à l’organisation d’expositions ainsi qu’à la définition de stratégies de conservation, de stockage et d’installation de ses œuvres.
Objectif
This project aims to provide in-depth research on technical art history and scientific analysis on the early Picasso objects (paintings and graphic art), largely deposited at the host institution, the Picasso Museum in Barcelona (MPB). This interdisciplinary research between curatorial, conservation, and natural science approaches includes investigating the painting techniques and artists’ materials of early period artworks (1895-1900). The final goal of this project is to offer an open access platform/database of technical art historical and scientific research which will help national and international scholars to unveil ambiguities still existing on Picasso’s artistic discourses. Moreover, results from this project will also help professionals to better design exhibition, conservation, storage and display strategies which will be of paramount importance to preserve our cultural heritage for future generations.
The candidate’s conservation scientist background, expertise on modern materials, and her network with museums and academic institutions will be beneficial for this project and the host institutions. At the same time, by working on such top-notch Museum and scientific academia environment (University of Barcelona (UB), project’s secondment institution), the candidate future professional career will clearly benefit. The successful implementation of the research and training objectives will be secured by the resources of the highly qualified institutions involved in this project (Picasso Museum Barcelona and the University of Barcelona). In-situ studies, preparation of samples and paint replicas, and documentation of Picasso’s artworks will be done at the MPB. The scientific analysis of samples will be carried out at the UB, where a range of analytical equipment is available. Results obtained from this project will lay the foundation for a future international Picasso Museum network platform.
