Através de oito obras destes três mestres da pintura vamos visitar sentimentos de abandono, perdas amorosas, o desamor que nos paralisa, o desconhecimento do outro, passagens que, ainda que dolorossas, precisam ser feitas, tristezas e alegrias, situações do cotidiano que nos afetam e para os quais pensamos não haver saída. Os mitos nos apontam caminhos, possíveis soluções. Que tal aprender com eles?

Vallotton - Femme nue couchée aux cartes bleues (1914)

Toile sur toile (97 x 131)
Félix Vallotton fut surtout apprécié pour et par son oeuvre gravée. Il n'empêche, son oeuvre peinte est très personnelle. Certains de ses portraits, comme celui-ci, dégagent une impression de mystère et de surréalisme. La froideur des couleurs est saisissante et rend le tableau impersonnel.

Goya_The Naked Maja(La Maja Desnuda)

Painted 1797 / 98.ORIGINAL SIZE: 38.18" X 74.80" .
At first it was called "gypsies", matching the clothed Maja. It creates a new nudity form, later followed by other painters, specially in France. Speculations about models for this work have been very numerous: nowadays it's believed that he used several women, ones for the face and others for the body. Goya's use of light is really splendid, obtaining an intimate and tinged atmosphere.

Curiosity: The model's weight lies on her feet.

Goya_The Clothed Maja(La Maja Vestida)

Painted 1797-98.ORIGINAL SIZE: 37.52" X 74.80"It repeats the naked Maja's composition, both in structure and in the model's position. But changes are clear in colours and general atmosphere. Goya is believed to have used a different model, more stylized in this case.

Curiosity: The model's weight lies on her calves.
