What types of paint did Picasso typically apply to canvas during 1931/32? This question is not asking about colors. I do not want to know what colors of paint were on his palette; I DO want to know what his oil paints were make of. What color of white Picasso used may be a helpful way to come to the types of paint he used, but I am asking about the characteristics and composition of the oil paint he applied to canvas during this specific time when he lived in Boisgeloup, in the house he bought in 1930 outside of Paris as a hideaway, and much of his work was preoccupied with his mistress, Marie-Thérèse, including, most notably, his famous Le rêve which he painted one Sunday afternoon, January 24, 1932. That painting, in particular, is my focus, but the oil paints he used during this time is relevant. All research references are essential. |

In order to have a comprehensive analysis of "Le rêve", you have to analyse the pigments and the binding agents from two samples or more. For example, that analysis was done for "Woman in Blue with a Beret" (1903). The results are both available in french and english. Abstract: " The preparatory white layer is constituted of white lead, zinc lead containing a load of barium sulphate. (...)The thick preparatory layer of a white lead base is one of the characteristics of Picasso?s technique during the blue period in Barcelona." http://www.picasso-expertise.com/en/recto.htm If the pigments of this painting (or of a painting from the same period) have been analysed, the answer could be available by asking to the following institutions (in France): Madame Dominique Dupuis-Labbé Conservateur au Musée National Picasso Hôtel Salé 5, rue de Thorigny 75003 Paris France or (be very motivated in your request, they don't give answer to private companies) Institut d'Art Conservation et Couleur 15 rue Grange Batelière 75009 Paris France Tél.: +33 1 48 00 04 76 |
