YESSIR, c’est mon Dada!
PAPLI by Milly
Artists Commentary:
Description: Papli
This is a childish drawing of Leopold Bloom by his daughter Milly as described by Joyce.
I have reversed the letter “L” to give it a childlike appearance.
The description of the drawing is contained in the second last chapter of Ulysses, “Ithaca”, located in Bloom’s house, 7, Eccles Street.
Bloom opens the first drawer of his chest of drawers which contains a “Vere Foster’s handwriting copybook, property of Milly (Millicent) Bloom….. diagram drawings marked Papli, which showed a large globular head with 5 hairs erect, 2 eyes in profile, the trunk full front with 3 large buttons, 1 triangular foot,…..”
I hope that you can enjoy it’s simplicity!
Picasso once admitted that it had taken him 50 years to learn how to paint like a child.
Chapter 17 – Ithaca – 2.00 to 2.45 AM – Eccles Street – Skeleton.
Completed November 2011.
Oil on Canvas.
50 x 70 cm.

Hot Shoulder — In 2009, New York artist Cindy Sibilsky uploaded one of the earliest portraits on Barebrush, Edie Sedgewick: Pop Goes the American Dream. It has been showing on the Barebrush website with little fanfare for over two years. Victim of the recession, Barebrush was severely impacted. Plans to launch new calendars for six genres: portraits, clothed people, landscapes, animals, still life and abstracts took a back-seat to merely hanging on for dear life. Art for these genres slowly trickled in from artists, some also struggling. Finally, having enough art to launch a single calendar series with all the new genres together, Barebrush founder and CEO Ilene Skeen selected the art for the first non-nude calendar, Best-of-the-Rest. Ms. Skeen notes,
Barebrush Artists have waited long enough. I’ve waited long enough. It’s time to take control. Nothing could be better from Barebrush and Barebrush artists than a hot shoulder and defiant attitude toward the gloom and doom of the country. It’s time for a positive springboard to the future, in which nude and non-nude artworks are easy for artists to show and viewers to enjoy. Soon these works (both originals and prints) will be available for sale directly from the Barebrush website.
Portraits and clothed people predominate in this calendar. Long-time Barebrush Featured Artist, Jean Marcellino of New York shows off her solid technique and composition with a brutally rigorous oil painting, Reclining Robert. Jacqui Morgan, also a Barebrush Featured Artist from New York presents two accomplished watercolors: Julie & Dirty Having Fun and Eternal vs Fleeting. Still another New York artist, Jon Rettich, shows a delightful drawing, Tank Happy and a ringing endorsement of the New York art-making locale, with Spring Studio which he describes as “Best studio ever.” Participating from afar are Robert Nizamov from Moscow, Russia with two landscapes, Boats and City, Featured Artist Roger Cummiskey from Malaga, Spain (and sometimes Ireland) with Joyce the Pluralist, (on it´s way to be exhibited at EXPO ARTE in Helsinki, Finland Dec 2011). Featured Artist Chuck Miller of Corsicana, TX with an oil of his wife sleeping, entitled Sunday Afternoon and Featured Artist Jacqueline Saunders from Burke, VA with a series of watercolor heads called Band of Brothers.
Two artists are making their calendar debut: Jeff Caramagna from Beacon, NY and Justin Austin from Graham, NC. To round out the thirty artworks in the first-ever Best-of-the-Rest, New York artist Geoffrey Stein ends the month with the dean of double-speak, Alan Greenspan, in a collage portrait featuring a well-deserved paper “black-eye.”
The 30 artists represented in November, 2011, in day order are: 1 Cindy Sibilsky, 2 Justin Austin, 3 Cynthia Angeles, 4 Damian Huntley, 5 Jeff Caramagna, 6 Jean Marcellino, 7 Will Ellis, 8 Ione Citrin, 9 Guadalupe Herrera, 10 Jon Rettich, 11 Chuck Miller, 12 Tai Lin, 13 Jacqueline Saunders, 14 Pacifico Palumbo, 15 Roger Cummiskey, 16 Brian Crede, 17 Robert Nizamov, 18 Jon Rettich, 19 Hannah Davis, 20 Bruce Erikson, 21 BlindWolf Photography, T. F. McDonald, 22 Jacqui Morgan, 23 Penelope Przekop, 24 A. Galban, 25 Terry Tayler, 26 Jacqui Morgan, 27 Gil Conradis, 28 Haydee Torres, 29 Robert Nizamov, 30 Geoffrey Stein.
Each of the artists selected for the calendar receives two (2) complimentary listings for each artwork included in this calendar. Viewers can also vote for “The People’s Choice,” a poll which includes all of the art in the calendar. The top three artworks in The People’s Choice win one (1) complementary listing for their artists. Winners announced 1st. Dec.
The Barebrush Provenance for each artwork is viewable by clicking on the calendar thumbnail (above) or on the caption under the artwork from each artist’s Barebrush Gallery page. The Barebrush program of retiring artworks which have been selected for three calendars is designed to encourage all artists to show their best new work and keep their online galleries fresh and interesting.

Le Chant des morts, 1948
Author: Pierre Reverdy (1889-1960
Artist: Pablo Picasso (1881-1973)
Published: Paris, Tériade, 1948
Author: Pierre Reverdy (1889-1960
Artist: Pablo Picasso (1881-1973)
Published: Paris, Tériade, 1948
During World War II, Reverdy started work on 43 sombre poems that he called Le chant des morts: The Song of the Dead. In January 1945 his handwritten text was reproduced actual size, including corrections and strikethroughs. Picasso was asked to illustrate the text. He first considered traditional line drawings, but they ultimately became arabesques in swift brushstrokes. Lines, knots and dots were given a place between – and around – the text.
These illustrations were produced in 1947 and 1948 on zinc plates. The production took a long time, so the zinc plates began to rust, which forced Picasso to start all over again. In that period he mostly occupied himself with decorating pottery – the famous Picasso vases and plates – working on Le chant des morts between two such ceramics sessions. He produced as many as 125 drawings on zinc plates within a few days: the largest number of illustrations he ever produced for any book. With these dynamic, red arabesques, the book sets itself apart from the other, more figurative Picasso books.
Picasso had known Reverdy since 1910, and probably met the publisher in 1926.
Le chant de morts was published by Tériade, a Greek whose real name was Eleftratios Tériades. He was one of the most prominent publishers of artists’ books, publishing the famous magazine Verve, among others, and collaborating with Matisse, Chagall, Léger and Miró. Innovation was important to Tériade; he produced very colourful books at a time when black-and-white lithographs were most common, and released books in extremely large sizes. He was also one of the first to reproduce handwritten texts as lithographs. His collaboration with Picasso remained limited to this title, but the book is still regarded as one of the most striking entries in Tériades’ list of publications (along with Jazz by Matisse). The balance between Reverdy’s calligraphy and Picasso’s blood-red arabesques was characterised by the publisher as follows:
‘It is as though they are having a conversation.’
