Pablo Picasso’s Landscape with Billboards (1912) evinces a deep and complex relationship with emergent trademark and related intellectual property law in France. Among the three trademarked logos ...featured prominently in the work is that for Bouillon Kub. Critics, caricaturists, and the Cubists themselves toyed with the visual and textual rhymes between Cubism and Bouillon Kub. But only Picasso in his Landscape with Billboards engaged deeply with the nascent trademark and design protection laws exploited more forcefully by Bouillon Kub than nearly any other brand. This essay is a small part of a larger chapter on Picasso, Cubism, and the semiotics of trademark, which, in turn, is a part of the book project Art™: A History of Modern Art, Authenticity, and Trademarks.
Paintings have high cultural and commercial value, so that needs to be preserved. Many techniques have been attempted to analyze properties of paintings, including X-ray analysis and optical ...coherence tomography (OCT) methods, and enable conservation of paintings from forgeries. In this paper, we suggest a simple and accurate optical analysis system to protect them from counterfeit which is comprised of fiber optics reflectance spectroscopy (FORS) and line laser-based topographic analysis. The system is designed to fully cover the whole area of paintings regardless of its size for the accurate analysis. For additional assessments, a line laser-based high resolved OCT was utilized. Some forgeries were created by the experts from the three different styles of genuine paintings for the experiments. After measuring surface properties of paintings, we could observe the results from the genuine works and the forgeries have the distinctive characteristics. The forgeries could be distinguished maximally 76.5% with obtained RGB spectra by FORS and 100% by topographic analysis. Through the several executions, the reliability of the system was confirmed. We could verify that the measurement system is worthwhile for the conservation of the valuable paintings. To store the surface information of the paintings in micron scale, we created a numerical database. Consequently, we secured the databases of three different famous Korean paintings for accurate authenticity.
During the Cold War Picasso's Guernica was on loan at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Throughout this period, its interpretation was the subject of much debate. The museum was interested in ...situating the painting within its own narrative of twentieth-century art history, while, at the same time, the painting functioned as an icon in contemporary political struggles in the form of reproductions and pictorial versions. This article reviews some of these contradictory positions towards Picasso's work during this intense "battle for the interpretation".

Creativity is the ability to generate original ideas in the arts or sciences, leaving traditional stereotypes behind, ultimately introducing innovation to the social context in which they arise. It ...has been associated with "divergent thinking" which prioritizes the generation of multiple solutions, different from traditional ones. Some authors have observed creative individuals present higher incidence of affective disorders, possibly related to hypomania or disinhibition. Similarly, “creativity” has been described in patients with frontotemporal dementia, a brain region linked with creativity on fMRI. Creativity is one of the most salient characteristics that human beings possess.
Picasso's interest in popular entertainers, the commedia dell'arte, Greek myth, and theater has long been recognized. Less attention has been accorded his pictorial staging of these dramas, ...demonstrated in his articulation of a stagelike division of theatrical zones. Picasso's scenographic approach is evident in key paintings and prints, in his set designs for Diaghilev's ballet Pulcinella, and in The Remains of the Minotaur in the Costume of Harlequin, a gouache enlarged into a stage curtain. Here, as in so many of these works, the topography of the imagination takes shape as a theatrical set at the edge of the sea.
This article proposes a critical review of Mary Matthews Gedo's Psychoiconographic method through her confrontation with authors such as Rosalind Krauss, Hal Foster, Jean Sutherland and Georges ...Didi-Huberman regarding the uses of psychoanalytical theory in art history and criticism. Despite some methodological successes, such as the use of psychoanalytical concepts in the analysis of images from an oneiric elaboration process, the critical approach will focus on two specific aspects: the excessive importance given to children's traumatic experiences in Picasso's artistic production in paintings such as Guernica, and the excessive "interpretive furor" of the artist's private life in works such as La Vie or Old Guitarist. En este contexto podemos incluir la tesis doctoral de Mary Matthews Gedo publicada en 1972 con el título Picasso's self-image: a psychoiconographic study of the artist life and work. Como veremos en el apartado 3, este hecho es fundamental porque Jacques Lacan fue "excomulgado" por la IPA (Asociación Internacional de Psicoanálisis) en 1953 y, por lo tanto, su retorno a Freud a partir del estructuralismo de Saussure y Levi Strauss propuesto por autores como Roudinesco (1994) o Zafiropoulos (2008) es también un distanciamiento del psicoanálisis norteamericano que había sido reducido a una psicología del yo y, por lo tanto, había desarticulado el descubrimiento freudiano del inconsciente y el sujeto
