EXAMPLE
FROM 1963
“The
Painter and His Model” 1963 (137)
“The
Painter and His Model” (137)
depicts
the painter seen by Picasso in the negative space to the left of the
face and chest of the blacksmith from LeNain's "A Smith at His
Forge" (137A). The line of the underside of the painter's arm is
the line of the top of the anvil. The model's head is negative light
space in the upper right of (137A). The painter's chair seat is the
base of the anvil. His right shoe is the shadow on the base
supporting the anvil and its long shadow. A shape behind the smith's
left hand looked like a painter's palette to Picasso. The woman in
the background of (137A) contains the lines of the easel.
