This beautifully illustrated book, the catalog for an exhibition on
view at the National Museum of Art of Catalonia in Barcelona and
coorganized with the Picasso Museum in Paris, explores important
affinities between Picasso and Romanesque art. Using two key
moments as starting points, Juan Jose Lahuerta and Emilia Philippot
first discuss the summer of 1906, when Picasso stayed in the
village of Gosol in the Catalan Pyrenees, and then turn to 1934, as
he visited the Romanesque art collections of what is today the
National Museum of Art of Catalonia. Picasso's discovery of the
Romanesque nurtured his interest in other "primitive" or
ethnographic art, later echoed in such decisive works as Les
Demoiselles d'Avignon. Importantly, while Lahuerta and Philippot
avoid any attempt to trace direct Romanesque influences on Picasso
as they note, his work consistently escapes such linear accounts
they do demonstrate that Picasso's interest in the twelfth-century
sculpture Virgin from Gosol, his lifelong fascination with the
theme of the crucifixion, and his study of the skull all reflect
elements that were also of major importance in Romanesque art and
architecture. What these shared features allow, Lahuerta and
Philippot ultimately argue, is not only a richer understanding of
Picasso's work, but also a rediscovering and reinvention of
Romanesque art in our contemporary moment, causing the medieval to
become refreshingly and paradoxically modern.
