    In the mural "Going to The Olympics" by Frank Romero, he placed many symbols in is mural in a specific place.

    In Picassos painting the woman are unclothed and lines are sharp because he was influenced by the angular characteristics of African and Iberian artists’ works in museums and galleries. Picassos painting lacks individuality and the women are not conveying and emotions in my opinion the painting is very dull and lifeless. It seems as if certain things were thrown together in this painting as if he was experimenting with different kinds of works he saw. The…
