The aim of this study is twofold. We begin by tracing Picasso's involvement in the theatre in France, his collaboration as a designer with important artistic avant-gardistes of his day. Secondly we study Picasso's work as a dramatist, analysing his two plays in detail and relating them to his work as an artist. We offer two appendices to supplement the research with pertinent information about his life and work in the theatre. The study undertaken here shows how the artist adapted his cubist precepts to theatrical subjects and thereby came to influence not only the art world, but the world of theatre as well. / Thesis / Master of Arts (MA)

Alfred Jarry est connu en tant qu’écrivain, poète et dramaturge, comme le créateur d’Ubu roi, du théâtrede l’absurde et d’opéras bouffes. Personnalité farouche, extravagante, sauvage, il fut admiré par l’avantgarde,que ce soit par Apollinaire, Marinetti, Tzara, Breton, mais aussi par de nombreux artistes.Cependant, Alfred Jarry reste aujourd’hui un inconnu de l’histoire de l’art.L’objet de cette recherche est de découvrir l’autre facette d’Alfred Jarry, celle de l’artiste, du critiqued’art, de l’esthète, du prophète et de comprendre la place de l’art dans sa vie et son influence sur lemilieu et la production artistique avant-gardiste. Au cours de cette étude nous chercherons à savoirpourquoi tant d’artistes divers, issus de différentes générations, lui ont rendu hommage tout au long duXXe siècle. Mais aussi pourquoi Jarry et sa créature Ubu sont devenus les fétiches créatifs d’artistescomme André Derain, Pablo Picasso et Joan Miró. La question se pose enfin de savoir pourquoi AndréBreton voit en Alfred Jarry un initiateur et un éclaireur esthétique dont le feu sauvage illumine lecheminement de l’avant-garde au XXe siècle. / Alfred Jarry was a renowned writer, poet and playwright, the famous creator of Ubu roi, he pioneeredthe Theatre of the Absurd and comic operas. Jarry’s fierce, extravagant and wild personality wasadmired by the key figures of the avant-garde such as Apollinaire, Marinetti, Tzara, Breton and otherartists alike. Nevertheless, Jarry still remains largely out of focus of current art historical research.The main objective of this survey is to uncover a different facet of Jarry’s personality that of an artist,art critic, aesthete, prophet, and to assess the role of art in his life as well as his influence on the avantgardecreative circles and its artistic outcome. This survey outlines the reasons for generations ofvarious artists paying homage to Jarry throughout the 20th century. The research uncovers the groundsfor Jarry’s and his creation Ubu’s turning into fetish-like figures for artists such as André Derain, PabloPicasso and Joan Miró. Finally we will focus on Andre Breton’s vision of Jarry as aesthetic pioneer andan innovator whose wild ideas served as a beacon to illuminate the way forward for the 20th centuryavant-garde.

This thesis investigates the significance of Pablo Picasso's lifelong appropriation of formal elements from paintings by Diego Velazquez. Selected paintings and drawings by Picasso are examined and shown to refer to works by the seventeenth-century Spanish master.

This thesis investigates, analyzes, and discusses Picasso's imagery in the cultural context of the nineteenth-century Spanish tradition of flamenco. Two published photographs featuring the elderly artist with the gypsy guitarist Manitas de Plata initiated the study, and led me to the conclusion that selected works by Picasso were influenced psychologically, thematically, and formally by his youth which was spent in the Andalusian province of Malaga and later in Barcelona. Picasso's early artistic education occurred at precisely the same time and place as The Golden Age of Flamenco in Spain, a cultural phenomenon that profoundly affected both his life and art.
