Tracing the contours of Picasso's evolving dialogue with the master of phantasmagorical figurationIn his youth, Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) frequented the Prado Museum, rejecting a formal education in favor of studying the works of the old masters himself. Signature features of El Greco's style were regenerated by Picasso's reverent, if also subversive, hand. El Greco (1541-1614) particularly captivated his attention, and his admiration soon bloomed into inspiration.
Indeed, Picasso helped spearhead a resurgence of interest in El Greco, whose work--while During his Blue Period (1901-04), the artist incorporated El Greco's penchant for elongated figures, sober backgrounds and a touch of mysticism and mannerism; during his late career, he more explicitly embraced his fascination with the Spanish Golden Age, evoking El Greco's palette of warm browns and ochers.
