What was so interesting about Picasso’s artworks, was that he wasnot afraid to explore various forms and structures, or lack thereof. Movingfrom technically grand works, to intimate small pieces with little traditionaltrademarks. He lived and painted what he could physically transform, nothingnatural such as trees for example. His demeanour was a mixture of politesnobbishness, wavering between them yet never embodying either of them either.His artworks, despite some of their deceptive nature appearing to lack meaning,such as his triangles with smiley faces, were always meaningful and moving. Hemanaged to apply a deeper meaning beneath he surface of his artwork, allowinghim to create playful images with a hidden depth to them. |
