PULL UP A SEAT PHOTO CHALLENGE 2021: #23

A PHOTO CHALLENGE OF PLACES WE SIT…OR MIGHT SIT…OR ART ABOUT SITTING

Chair (1961, Picasso)

Picasso likened his chair to something that was run over by a steamroller! He created the design on paper, which he cut out and folded. A craftsman then transferred the idea to sheet metal.

It looks as though it could just be unfolded and flattened out on the floor – lending it a simplicity which is accentuated by its plain white colour.

I wouldn’t fancy sitting on it though!!!

To play along:

  1. What an amazing piece of art!
    I did think it looked like paper to me – so the craftsman obviously did a good job making the translation to metal!
    And no, certainly doesn’t look like a comfortable seat!
