Hey Donna, when I was doing research on Picasso’s style of art, William Rubin always popped up somewhere. He really understands Picasso’s style, because he spent so much time with him. I would really like to view his book, Pablo Picasso: A Retrospective, it is on Amazon for about 7.99 and received 5 stars. I really should order it, because it seems like a good read. It is filled with art, and information about it. I do see your thoughts that the colors are dull and the background looks like it dividing white people from Black people. At first, (I am not an art illustrator) I would have no idea this picture is about a brothel, but the more my peers and professor Griefen’s points out the finer things, the more I can try to figure out what Picasso

    Les Demoiselles D Avignon Analysis

    Green starts his analysis of it by wanting to focus on the architecture of the work rather than the confrontational elements of the work itself. He mentions how Picasso really slaved over this particular work and had lots of preparation before even attempting it, an example of this being the sixteen sketch books he had lots of drawings, sketches, water colors that all were in relation to ‘Les Demoiselles d'Avignon’. Green says that Picasso had a strong desire to be in control when it came to how he approached this work but found it difficult to do so and how 8 to 9 months he had finished ‘Les Demoiselles d'Avignon’. Danto also mentions how he Picasso was almost done but had to repaint the figures on either side and was prepared to redo what initially held it together. He also shows some of Picasso’s original sketches and discusses how they varied from the finished work, these changes were a male sailor being a visitor, was going to be a lot more graphic.…

    Abstract Oil Painting: Guernica By Pablo Picasso

    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…

    Still Life With A Skull And A Writing Quill Analysis

    This creates no impact at all at first glance, being only the most drab palette, but the genius of Picasso’s usage of color in this painting is the layering, which, contrary to all the other aspects of the painting thus far, encourage close looking. The movement needed to fully understand Still Life with a Bottle of Rum, from far-off in order to appreciate its subject, to close by in order to appreciate its technical mastery, could be a statement on the full mobility of the cerebral thinking Picasso wished to…

    Pablo Picasso Seated Bather

    Picasso’s use of color is rather interesting, as even though it provides a sense of dullness, it also provides a sense of realism, as the colors are natural and not extravagant. Picasso’s usage of unity is shown within the variety of shapes that we used. By forming into the shape of a women, it is entirely clear on what was the main focus that Picasso wanted to discuss. Another principle of design that appears to be efficiently used is the use of variety. Picasso uses more than one shape to form the women, leading one to infer that different shapes are the different characteristics in an individual.…

    Analysis Of The Painter Of Modern Life By Charles Baudelaire

    In “The Painter of Modern Life,” Charles Baudelaire gives his definition and explanation about the true beauty of art. In the first section “Beauty, Fashion, and Happiness,” Baudelaire shows his concern about the “present” in the painting because he thought that the beauty of the art is “its essential quality of being present” (p.1). In the following passage, Baudelaire uses a lot of words to praise a man named as “Monsieur G” in the essay. He describes Monsieur G, just like the title of this section, as “the artist, man of the world, man of the crowd, and child” (p.5). Baudelaire thought that Monsieur G’s curiosity and observation of the world and life made him such a skilled, unconventional artist.…
