stoic or arrogant
Sonya

He looks disheveled.
Aishwariya
01:01:44
He wants to buy the Car
Rosemary Hickman
01:01:48
Agree with Deborah, kind of pompous?
Margaret Tassin
01:01:49
What is happening under his left arm? Is that periwinkle and yellow stripe the chair? If yes, then it is really cutting into his body.
Paula Chalk
01:01:52
He looks pensive.
Pam Lovall
01:01:54
looks like he's taking it all in.
Family
01:02:00

Reminds me of our Kirchner
Darcy Veach
01:02:13
he has the car. He has made his goals
Emily Reynolds
01:02:14
he appears to be floating, not really sitting on something,
Carolyn Wiggins
01:02:20
Right hand looks deformed. Like he’s protecting it
Lynn Schramm
01:02:39
is the car a “photograph”
Deborah Reed
01:02:39
Working class hands.
Kira Sandoval
01:02:41
the way he holds his hands crossed & the squiggly lines for his hands remind me of how people hold them when they are nervous
Rosemary Hickman
01:02:42
Halah, the face is also reminding me of the Gleizes
Darlene Boudreaux
01:02:46
Weird wrinkles in his pant leg. Why is it wrinkled that particular way?
pamelaredding
01:03:00
Hands follow the lines of the suit
Sonya
01:03:11
Looks like an extension of his hands.
Yvonne Valdez
01:03:22
He is probably crossing his leg.
Darcy Veach
01:03:26
jacket over leg, not a pant leg?
Madelyn
01:03:39
What’s under his arm??
Leticia Alaniz
01:03:43
He looks like a 1930s speakeasy liquor dealer
Joy
01:03:45
is date on bottom say 1918?
Deborah Reed
01:03:48
I've always thought this was an aspirational portrait, but the chair is a working class chair.
Sterling Lauer
01:03:57
While on a school tour, a young girl observed that "his clothes are too big for him"!
Jode Johnson
01:03:58
similar to car photo
Kathy Dolan
01:05:20
likely painted during the last year of WWI?
Darlene Boudreaux
01:05:37
It’s 1918 and he’s not wearing a mask!
Kira Sandoval
01:06:12
Darlene - good catch on that historical moment!
Rosemary Hickman
01:06:16
@Darlene, quarantine fatigure
stephanie ago
01:06:51
Picasso influence in that self portrait maybe?
Deborah Reed
01:07:25
The shirt in the self portrait shows an awareness of cubism
Deborah Reed
01:08:35
Interesting that Kimbell portrait has black outline around body, his self-portrait had a faint light halo.
Margaret Tassin
01:08:44
Van Gogh influence in the Casany portrait.
Connie Hatchette Barganier
01:08:53
Literary connection… Ernest Hemingway loved Miró’s work and even owned an early landscape: “The Farm” (1920–21) now at the National Gallery, in DC.
Kira Sandoval
01:09:26
The majority of these apses are now in a museum in Barcelona at MNAC!
Deborah Reed
01:09:45
Note folds in Christ's robes and technique for modeling, versus the stripes in Miro's suit pattern.
Connie Hatchette Barganier
01:10:16
@Deborah, fascinating comparison!
Kate Carey
01:11:05
looks like feathers and flowers mixed together in her hat
Deborah Reed
01:12:17
Gertrude Stein's brother said Woman with a Hat was the ugliest smear of paint he ever saw, then he bought the canvas.
Karen Myers
01:12:49
Much greater interest in pattern and color than in character of sitter. Interesting link between medieval art and iconography and abstract art.
stephanie ago
01:12:54
Gustave Courbet is one of my favorites!!
Kathy Dolan
01:13:09
So I just realized he's not wearing a chauffeur's uniform, so possibly showing his ambition to become an artist?
Kate Carey
01:13:13
love that Deborah--the painting definitely elicited reactions
Debbi Wagner
01:14:35
Stephanie I think too and vice versa there similarities especially to Picasso later drawing of Stravinsky 1920
Deborah Reed
01:14:46
Good catch Kathy.
Deborah Reed
01:15:52
When the sculpture first came to the Kimbell, it was a different color. This two-color patina was added. I've often wondered why it was chosen.
Connie Hatchette Barganier
01:15:53
I have wondered if the reference to the family’s chauffeur business is a touch ironic… given Heriberto’s artistic ambitions
Darlene Boudreaux
01:17:03
I took my 8-year-old grandson to the Kimbell last year and just walked through the gallery. He stopped in front of this portrait and just stared at it for several minutes. He mentioned the colors as being so fascinating for him. This is a boy who’d never been to an art museum for him, but I suspect this particular portrait is one that will remain in his memory from that day. Thanks for walking us through this.
Laura Celis
01:17:26
he appears to be wearing cufflinks
Connie Hatchette Barganier
01:17:29
@Darlene, I love that!
Rosemary Hickman
01:17:37
Connie, I’m imagining a conversation between friends looking at Heriberto’s portrait and Miro anticipating them saying, What, no car?
Lynn Schramm
01:17:42
the car picture in purple competes for attention
Kathy Dolan
01:17:44
I think it's more a typical best suit, uniforms looked more stereotypical, kind of military, right?
Kira Sandoval
01:18:08
What a beautiful memory, Darlene!
Deborah Reed
01:18:16
One can see comfort between artist and sitter.
Connie Hatchette Barganier
01:18:31
It’s interesting to compare their relationship to more traditional patron/painter relationships
Deborah Reed
01:18:49
It will get better.
Susan Breidenbach

Deborah Reed

The model looks like a young Bridget Bardot.

She’s on a wheelchair?
Darcy Veach

bentwood rocker I think

I think it is a wicker style rocker.

It seems like he revisited Cubism the rest of his life.
Kira Sandoval
01:27:41
Les Demoiselles d'Avignon ^
stephanie ago
01:28:12
He was “influenced” by African masks, is it not?
Renee.olivarez@lvisd.org
01:28:18
My dad loved for my mom to wear her hair in a ponytail. He would sing that song about Pony tail hanging low
Jode Johnson
01:28:31
reminds him of his youth
Kathy Dolan
01:28:43
I believe during this later period of his life he was revisiting 'masters' of the past, perhaps himself included. There are a lot of pictures during this period with cubist elements...
Kira Sandoval
01:28:51
@ Stephanie, yes, specifically for Les Demoiselles d'Avignon
Darlene SA
01:29:15
where is she now
Darcy Veach
01:29:15
what is her name as an artist?
Renee.olivarez@lvisd.org
01:29:49
I think her youth reminded him of his youth as an artist, fresh feeling and rekindled a love for art and doing it.
Rosemary Hickman
01:30:10
Lydia Corbett is the name that Sylvette David goes by now.
Darcy Veach
01:30:43
given an opportunity, one must have the courage to accept it
Yvonne Valdez
01:31:08
Why did she change her name?
Debbi Wagner
01:31:10
Kathy the masters of the past is interesting because the rectangle behind the sitter reminds me of the traditional window in many Renaissance portraits
Carey Clement Jr
01:31:13
@Renee, also could be possible to show his style of beauty as past masters had, even showing her hands in the style of “Mona Lisa” and her ponytail in the style of Vermeer’s “Girl With A Pearl Earring”
Darlene SA
01:31:16
did she only sit for Picaso?
Mary Russell
01:31:45
She indicated she was very quiet during the Painting — also ,, she had and made the pony tail famous before Bridget Bardo
Darcy Veach
01:32:23
BB around in 1954, I'm pretty sure. Not sure of the pony tail phase
Rosemary Hickman
01:33:20
Yvonne, Corbett is her married name. Sylvette is her middle name.
Deborah Reed
01:33:30
A woman in profile is not a woman with whom you are engaged. She doesn't seem to make eye contact in any of the images we've seen.
stephanie ago
01:33:33
And the curls
Paul Myers
01:33:50
caning in the middle one too
Renee.olivarez@lvisd.org
01:33:51
All of these different works are like the cuts in a jewel. The more cuts make the jewel more valuable. He did not carve away or subtract from the sitter, but explored different views and angles of her.
Janet

One of the chairs in the photo looks to be cane chair.

the downcast eyes give her a mysterious , introverted look.

I love the center one, but I would say yes to any portrait that Picasso would want to paint!

i love the rectangular lines he puts in
Darcy Veach

the one on the left is less beautiful than she is. the chin looks wrong to me.
Linda Moncrief
01:36:08
tough choice, right, then try to talk him into the middle as well!
Deborah Reed
01:36:23
The portrait on the right has an odd tension between a realistic representation and a stylistic representation of the body.
Karen Myers
01:36:38
It depends on whether you are concerned about personality or form.

It would be easier to live with the portrait on the right. The chrome yellow would wear out its welcome very quickly.

Buttons and suit/coat

Looking off toward the viewer’s left (more so with Picasso than Miro), almost as if to be in a state of deep thought
Juliet
01:38:12
soft vs sharp edges......I lean more towards Picasso style

Together, the Miro looks more "normal"than it did when we started
Darlene Boudreaux
01:38:32
I love the colors on the Miro
Madelyn

Chair, hands, view and something behind this but one is colorful and another bnw

Again, I wonder if his is a celluloid collar rather than a fabric one.
Linda Moncrief
01:38:53
though awkward, both sets of hands look like they belong
Darcy Veach
01:38:54
open cuffs, freeing the hands from the weight of the sleeves

Miro’s brush strokes are more controlled
Emily Reynolds

I think their own essence comes through.

Sorry! Normal like portrait like
Renee.olivarez@lvisd.org

The hands are very similar

curve lines and another straight lines

Luci Scott

she doesn’t have cllor
Rosemary Hickman

How big is the Miro? Sylvette is big.
Renee.olivarez@lvisd.org
01:40:21
The hands look like the people are comfortable with themselves
Deborah Reed
01:40:22
Obvious visible brushstrokes in both.
Connie Hatchette Barganier

Looking at her long elegant neck and upright stance, he almost appears to slouch a bit in comparison…
Mary Russell

Jean

To me the Miro is a much kinder portrait of the person.

Paul Myers

Miro is one of my very favorite artists, but I have never cared for his early work. But this discussion has helped. On the other hand, I don’t like Picasso’s art all that much; but I have always loved this portrait of Sylvette. So this has been a great presentation for me!
Connie Hatchette Barganier
01:42:51
The more I look at her face, the more abstract it becomes…
Kathy Dolan
01:42:54
Miro's portrait gives more authentic sense of the person, Picasso's is more trying to project an image not necessarily hers?
Mary Arno
01:43:09
Solvate looks very aloof
Deborah Reed
01:43:13
Miro's ladderback chair is the sort that people would make at home for use. Picasso's Thonet bentwood chair is an example of a machine made chair
Laura Celis
01:43:17
sylvettes right eye is more pronounced then her left
Darcy Veach
01:43:29
square eye and oval eye - like Egyptian - on Sylvette

hi
Juliet
01:43:57
I wonder if Miro painted subject over the background or shaded the bright color around the subject...
Linda Moncrief
01:44:06
or early Picasso
Connie Hatchette Barganier
01:44:18
Tough choice!!!
Kathy Dolan
01:44:28
Surely Miro would be more pleasant person?
Renee.olivarez@lvisd.org
01:44:32
Picasso would make me look strangely pretty instead of strange
Connie Hatchette Barganier
01:44:33
Imagine the conversations during the sittings…
Karen Myers
01:44:33
Black and white and geometric forms are in sharp contrast to curves and colors. Her hands are more open than his.
