Abstract:

“Katya” is the title of an exhibition thought and realized in postmodern, with the aspect of recreation of well known styles and themes in art in nowadays context. Planned as a study experiment, but transformed into an author’s project. Throughout the exhibition some will find the signature of works of Picasso, others will recognize Katya – professional model for candidate-artists in the Faculty of Fine Art. The social and educationally effective status of Katya is a challenge to the potential academic system to generate ideas in the routine of the process, which must legitimate knowledge and cultivate affinity towards art. Her image is a direct and spontaneous association with the art conception of the “Blue period” of Picasso, in which the artist shows his empathy to people, made to live in poverty, humiliation and suffering. Hypothetically put, Katya is a prototype of Picasso’s works, but this author’s recourse does not provoke representation, which aims to imitate, but is in deep, fundamental connection, close to identity with the typological profile of the “Blue period.”
