Picasso-nak van valami köze a szabadkőművesekhez?

Egy holland művészettörténész írt erről pár éve, de nem találom. Nézz utána, hátha megtalálod:

Marijo Ariëns-Volker a neve

Na, ezt találtam:

The Hague, Saturday March 5, 2005. Venue: Haags logegebouw (masonic lodge), 2e Sweelinckstraat 131.

A lecture by Dr Marijo Ariens - Volker, "Picasso and Martinism

new insights into the relationship between art and western esotericism.” (at the exact time and in this very location the TMO martinists held their monthly meeting).

Marijo Ariëns graduated Cum Laude in December 2004 at the Free University of Brussels as an art historian with a thesis entitled “De wangen van de Macroprosopus.”A new interpretation of the painting "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon" by Pablo Picasso. Here she describes what influence Martinism, a secret society with a para-Masonic character, has had on the modern art of the 20th century, especially in the circle of artists and writers around Pablo Picasso.

Picasso himself demonstrates a thorough knowledge of alchemy, Kabbalah and other esoteric symbolism. This symbolism is the key to a better understanding of his famous painting Les Demoiselles d'Avignon and leads to the conclusion that our assumptions about Cubism must be fully revised. Her thesis drew a lot of media attention (Trouw, Telegraaf, Cultuurnet).

(More information can be found in OVN Newsletter No. 6, where a

comprehensive review of the thesis is included.)
