PICASSO AND SURREALISM

Picasso's artwork throughout his lifetime covered a number of different art movements and categories, from classicism and cubism to surrealism.

The whole concept of surrealism, which came to prominence in the 1920s, is about chaos and disorder, and elements of surprise, spontaneity and illogical depictions of reality.



From the 1930s onwards, there was a clear surrealist approach to Picasso’s works, with a complete disregard of the conventions and proportions of the human form.






This idea of spontaneity and surprise got our creative juices flowing!




ORIGINAL VIBRANT AND COLOURFUL
SLEEP MASK  DESIGN
….. INSPIRED BY PICASSO!

THE DESIGN 

We were inspired by the surreal women’s faces in Picasso’s art and created our own interpretation for this cutting-edge design called ‘40 Winks’! 

The size of the mask , as shown in the photo above, is 3” x 7” (approx. 8 cm x 18 cm)  

COLOURS

We selected a rainbow of vibrant colours of yellow, gold, hot pink, rose-reds, and purples, with a palette of bold blues on the closed eye…. all on a vivid orange background!

The black eyelashes on both eyes have been accented by black metallic beads!

YARNS

We used 100 % Silk thread from the Silk Mill on the entire sleep mask in order to get the electrifying Picasso-like colours we wanted.

 

FEATURE STITCH 


The UPRIGHT CROSS STITCH was selected for the graphic closed eye lid on the sleep mask, to create a textured surrealistic effect.

The rest of the sleep mask was stitched in the Tent Stitch....with the Stem Stitch for the eyelashes!

 

Instructions for this feature stitch are included in the next VIVA ZIVA! newsletter.
