Comments on: Picasso’s Ice Age Inspiration for Guernica? https://beforeorion.com/pablo-picasso-ice-age-inspiration-for-guernica/ Finding the Face of the Hero Sat, 06 Apr 2024 04:14:21 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.6.2 By: Edmond Furter https://beforeorion.com/pablo-picasso-ice-age-inspiration-for-guernica/#comment-13 Sun, 07 Jun 2020 10:19:02 +0000 http://beforeorion.com/?page_id=1734#comment-13 A neck turned backward or elongated, expresses one of two frequent archetypal meanings, as I found in statistical analysis of the universal archetypal structure in hundreds of art and rock art works (Furter 2014: Mindprint): Type 1 /2 Builder /Ruiner (twisted), or type 3 Queen (sacrifice). Agnus dei expresses several type 3 meanings (neck bent, sacrifice, ovid). These features each appear at their own fixed average frequencies in artworks of all ages and ‘cultures’. Each artwork expresses only some, never all of the optional features.
Subconscious expression of archetypal structure explains how enigmatic bent necks appear in artworks worldwide, and their position at character type 1 and/or 2, or 3, in the fixed peripheral sequence of minimal twelve, usually sixteen characters. If the panel nicknamed ‘Agnus Dei’ or Lamb of God, had eleveon or more characters in proximity, I could demosntrate that their eyes were on an axial grid, and their secquence, and features, express about 60% of the currently known recurrent features. Always. No exception found after testing 800 artworks of all styles.
Picasso’s Guernica is one of the artworks demonstrated to subconsciusly express the structure of five layers (features, sequence, ocular axial grid, certain polar features, and time-frame signature in certain central limb joints), in my book mindprint. I found this structure, I did not invent it. Artists do not learn, teach, or even know the structure. They use a very specific visual ‘grammar’ despite some borrowing, despite stylisation, despite their conscious programme. Kindly visit my websites at http://www.mindprintart.wordpress.com or http://www.stoneprintjournal.wordpress.com where the cause of recurrent correspondences and apparent citations is explained. The subconscious model of archetypal structuralist expression resolves the core content of culture. Greetings, Edmond Furter

Fellow Art Lover,

I haven’t seen the connection elsewhere. However, Picasso’s quotes after leaving the caves of Altamira and Lascaux are widely circulated. More on the Picasso connection to Paleolithic cave art can be found at http://beforeorion.com/index.php/pablo-picasso/

Interesting read. Are the Picasso to cave art connections in any other books?
