Comparison Of Pablo Picasso And Georeges Braque

Improved Essays
By wondering among rooms each with a specific style of art, I found the room showing Cubism, introducing Pablo Picasso and Georeges Braque especially fascinating. After leaving the museum, I realized that I spent most of the time watching at the paintings related to Cubism, because the ideas from the paintings were obscure in forms of patterns, I needed to stop and watch for a while in front of the paintings to understand them. The paintings performed just as the introduction suggested: cubist artists break up subjects human figures landscape still life into independent line sandboxes lapping planes.
Among all the art works, the painting “young girl” with the main color of red impressed me the most, because when I look back to this picture, it gave me another feeling compared with when I looked at it the first time. It seemed I saw another combination of cubic patterns which showed me a new understanding of this painting. The girl’s face changed into another direction when I looked at the paining from another side, and the combination of colors also reshaped again. There were several portraits of girls as Picasso’s work, and I choose this painting because it scared me a bit at first, that the girl seemed to have two noses. Later, despite of the uneven portrait of

For instance, as I got into the /// in Monet’s Sunrise and a lot other beautiful works, it did not require me to have much historic background to understand the painting or simply just knowing some typical era like industrialization. However, no matter how long I staring at the painting “The Moorish Chief”, I could not get the idea behind the man standing in front of the arch in the painting. Then I searched it and found that this man resembles the architecture of the Alhambra who exudes power and mystery in Spain. By knowing the historical background, I understood the implication from this oil

    I will be discussing the 1937 work of Pablo Picasso titled “Guernica”, located in the Museo Reina Sofia in Madrid. This abstract oil painting has interesting black and white values, and intersecting contour lines to create interesting shapes and patterns. These shapes appear to be that of people and animals, expressing expressions of agony or anger engaged in a gruesome fight. Though this is not a realistic painting, we can clearly see that these people, hands, arms, and even animals are in a stressful…

    According the Ottmann, the goal of the museum is to give the viewer as little information as possible in order to espouse their frustration, and that like abstract expressionism, we must go against boundaries and follow the path of why nots. Rather than create the illusion of understanding, Mitchell creates a work of art in Chamonix that allows you to feel emotion and draw on your experiences with the art and its presentation to further your view of it. No one views art in the same way; we draw on our emotional responses, intellectual knowledge, and visual experiences with the art in order to attain our feelings towards a piece. We also draw on our pasts and our knowledge of art, which is why there is negative reactions to Mitchell’s piece and her abstract expressionist style. By painting a well-known mountain using her hands and fingers in a messy style, one who might have a knowledge and more love for a realistic portrayal of the mountain may be shocked and appalled by this representation.…

    Picasso’s “Femme aux Bras Croisés” (1902), meaning “Woman with Folded Arms”, depicts a seemingly depressed middle-aged woman crouching on the ground, with folded arms and a solemn stare. The entire piece is painted in blue tones with darker shades of blue in the background to allow more emphasis on its focal point, the woman, who is painted in lighter shades. A limited amount of color is displayed throughout the portrait, but the same blotchy painting pattern encompasses everything except the woman’s face. The sharper details of her face catch the viewers’ eye while everything else looks out of focus. Perhaps the most significant aspect of the portrait is how it closes up on the woman, showing mostly her upper body with only a dark blue shadowy wall behind her.…

    The images at the museum have a complete new form of communicating on socio-political issues that have taken before and relate them to our current world. Drawing and paintings make another form of imagery. We use art as a form of communication between humans, as a way to express our thoughts and reactions.

    After reading each critic’s take on Cubism, I found that Jacques Riviere’s was the one that sparked my interest the most. In my opinion, he has more profound knowledge on the subject of Cubism because he interprets the ideas of the artists well as the mistakes. According to Rivere, the Cubist transforms their objects in two ways: eliminating lighting and perspective. They believe lighting prevents things from being seen as they truly are. Instead of lighting, the shading that is usually on some parts of the object is distributed into small portions by placing the object near a lit edge of a surface.…

    The mechanisms the members of this museum and art educators use to interact with its audience is through the question-answer process. That process means to identify the relations between what an artwork represents and the reality of the world. For example, the way the art educators would want to start this process is to ask a question, “What do you see?”(129) the purpose of this is to begin to allow the audience to dig deep within the contents of an artwork. Beyond the appearance and visuality, the act of interpreting requires a knowledge of its cultural background. For this reason, the language used between the art educators and its students in this community is essential because art educators share many ways to begin…

    Out of this period came much of the abstract art that Picasso is most noted for. Les Demoiselles d’Avignon is known, not only as his first cubist painting, but also as his first masterpiece. It depicts 5 nude women and at the time was considered lude. The angular figures of the women challenged the ideal of beauty in the human form. Given how abstract many of his paintings became, it can be said that this was only the beginning.…

    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…

    The elements used to describe Three Musicians by Pablo Picasso include line, shape, color, and value. This picture displays many irregular lines. This is done to display a picture straying from the ordinary image one would have of musicians. The lines mainly appear organic, like the line in the face of the middle musician because he is not proportionate and the instrument the left musician is playing. Shape can be seen both organic and geometric in this image to unite the musicians together.…
