The hand is a symbol of the creative force. This is a plaster sculpture of Picasso’s left-hand palm which I was able to view in person today at #aspen art fair. The hand was part of a series produced in 1937, the same year as Guernica… I learned, from the very generous galley co-owner @mathias.rastorfer, that Picasso did not chose to cast in Bronze as that fabrication would not have been by his own hand and the process would have removed all the details. He wanted all to see the lines of his palm, lines that can reveal not only one’s fate, but one’s character. Hands are a recurring motif in #Picasso’s work as he strongly felt the hand of the artist is the core of creation. So much to say about this moving piece art. There is a limited edition book La Main de Picasso that I was fortunate to have been given by @galeriegmurzynska - I learned so much today @intersectaspen - If you want to deepen your appreciation of life much less the life of some of history’s greatest artists, I recommend visiting this gallery in #Zurich or # NYC. The gallery in Zurich was designed by one of the greatest women architects in history - Zaha Mohammad Hadid. #beinspired
