Excerpted from a Gagosian Gallery article pertaining to this artistic venture between Pablo Picasso and André Villers, Manifest throughout the artistic practice of André Villers is a distinctive experiential nature lent not only by his experimentation with an array of physical and formal elements, but by his unrelenting fascination with the play of shadows, transparencies, and sculptural dimension in photography. Following the hardships of World War II, Villers contracted bone tuberculosis at the age of seventeen. He was then moved to the Centro Hélio-Marin sanatorium in southeastern France, where he was bedridden for five years. It was during his recovery there that Villers first took up a camera, experimenting with photography as early as 1952. He first met Pablo Picasso by chance on a Vallauris street in 1953, where the artist was working in a ceramics studio. This serendipitous encounter marked the beginning of a profound friendship and creative dialogue which would ensue in the years following. The publication of the book Diurnes in 1962, with a preface by poet Jacques Prévert, was the culmination of their exceptional decade of joint investigation: thirty plates were selected from among some seven hundred photograms of masks, animals, and group figure studies made between 1954 and 1961. From this fruitful collaboration emerged an unprecedented synthesis of photography and painting, one that would transcend the boundaries of each respective medium and break new ground for a Cubist genre in photography.
PABLO PICASSO (1881-1973) Spanish painter and sculptor is one of the most recognized figures of twentieth century art. During his artistic career, which lasted more than 75 years, he created thousands of works using all kinds of mediums. He changed art more profoundly than any other artist of his time. First famous for pioneering cubism, Picasso continued to develop his art with a pace and vitality comparable to the accelerated technological and cultural changes of the twentieth century. Each change embodied a radical idea, and might be said that Picasso lived several artistic lifetimes.
