The pool of Tuileries 1901

This is Picasso's "The Pool of Tuileries," and it’s just vibrating with light, right? The whole thing feels like a memory, a little hazy but full of joy. Look at the way he dabs the paint; it's like he's not trying to create a perfect scene but capture a feeling. The colors are muted, greens and yellows, but somehow, they feel so bright. The way he's got those little sailboats scattered across the water, each a tiny explosion of red and white. There's a sense of play, of pure, unadulterated fun. It reminds me of the way Bonnard used color, that total commitment to a mood. It’s all about capturing that fleeting moment. It reminds you that art isn't just about representation; it's about feeling, about being in the moment. And that's something Picasso always understood, even back then.
