University challenge; Picasso

[oculist]

I have just watched University Challenge, the picture round had a painting by Picasso. Anyone know what it was called?

[dothawkes31]

was it Gurnicca???

[Azalian]

Or even Guernica?

[dothawkes31]

we did that in art history, it's the painting depicting the Spanish Civil war and the bombing of Gurnica as i recall

[dothawkes31]

bith spellings are acceptable, I didnlt watch the programme and my answer was a complete guess btw.

[oculist]

Not Guernica, it was a female portait, looked to be of a nun

[dothawkes31]

oh that's the sisters one I think,

I've been looking without success (I watch UC so know what the picture roughly looks like ) but here is a site of posters http://www.allposters...o-Posters_c27394_.htm of a lot of his works and it gives the titles for each.Feel free to spend several minutes looking through them all to see if it's there.

Thanks Jumbuck, but I went through the whole site, not there. A beautiful picture which I had never seen before. I'll have to keep looking. A single figure, posssibly late cubist period.

If you are really desperate to find out you can watch the programme again on BBC iplayer....

I watched the programme, but can't absolutely remember the painting in question, but I think it may have been one of the two on here, listed under the Black Period on the right hand side, either the female nude (the dancer of Avignon) or the one below the bust of sailor or woman

Weird I too remember the painting in the programme because it was so beautiful. A woman, definitely in cubist style, mainly in blues. The answer was def Picasso but I have trawled through google images and can't find the picture by him or anyone else yet it was stunning. Not really into art but looking through Picaso's stuff how did he ever have time to eat, he seemed to have painted hundreds.

Well done Seanyboy that's it How did you find it and why doesn't it come up on google images for Picasso?

[SEANYBOY99]

It is on Google images. I just refined the search to Picasso Cubism Paintings and then scrolled through the pages.
