“My hands were to soft. I had to find some special occupation, some kind of work that would not force me to turn away from the sky and the stars, that would allow me to discover the meaning of life.” Marc Chagall Marc Zakharovich Chagall (July 7th, 1887 – March 28th, 1985), a name he did not use until 1910 (arrival in Paris), was a Russian-born French Artist, holding the title of one of the premiere Jewish Artists of the 20th century. His paintings are largely associated with Cubism,…

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…

Wyatt Didier Caitlin Luetger March 1, 2015 Humanities 1101 Art Analysis 1 The painting “The Old Guitarist” by Pablo Picasso is a masterpiece that gives great insight into the artist’s troubled life. Picasso used oil on canvas, and painted this work of art in 1903 while working in Barcelona. “The Old Guitarist” was one of Picasso’s most prominent pieces of his “Blue Period”, which lasted from 1901-1904, and was caused by the death of his good friend, Carlos Casagemas. In this “Blue Period”,…

two-dimensional. By reduction of the subject matter to geometric forms, Braque creates a ‘dissolution of form’ throughout the piece which later became a key quality of analytical cubism: in which there was no single viewpoint and geometric shapes, planes and collage made up the subject…

My collage is a satire piece targeting the phony idealistic character, prince charming. I portray the fraudulence character by having the prince take off his helmet to reveal a skeleton body. An idea of ‘prince charming’ is unrealistic and just a fairytale. The ideals females place on males while looking for “the one” can get unbelievably ridiculous and expectations can gravitate toward a ‘prince charming’ character. The expectations females have put on his personna, have rot away at his skin,…

Before the age of 50, the Spanish born artist had become the most well-known name in modern art, with distinct style and eye for artistic creation which influenced artists, painters, and explained more on the human conditions. .Human condition is the subconscious sense of guilt and agony we each carry of being unable to explain humans’ contradictory capacity…

Standing Female Nude poem actually derives from George Braque’s La Grande Nude portrait which belongs to the Cubist art movement which began in Paris around 1907. The Cubists used analytic system which requires to redefine the three parts of the portrait from several points of view, instead of using the single point of view. The moment is mentioned as ‘a new way of representing the world’ and divided into two phases as Synthetic(1913-20’s) and Analytic(1907-12) phase which is implied and mocked…

Behind every great artist is a muse. And the mythical painter Picasso had plenty of them. Throughout his life, the artist had two wives, six mistresses, and lots of lovers. Although his relationship with women was complicated, many of them served as the inspiration for the artist’s exceptionally prolific body of work. It can be said that Picasso’s style changed as often as he changed his companions. In this paper I want to explore the main differences between two of his main muses: Marie-Thérèse…

Artists and from Mexico, such as Diego’ Rivera’s artwork “Flower Festival” c.1920’s, have become world known and have heavy influences o the modern artists today. Many of the paintings made in Mexico talk about what is happening at that moment and their struggle. In the early 1920’s the Mexican Mural was painted.

French painter, Paul Cezanne, was a very large influence on art and artists during and after his time. He went through many different styles of Expressionism and inspired many artists. One painting that he is especially known for was created later in his life. It is called The Large Bathers, and the title reflects the work of art, since it is of women who are bathing that look large. (“Bathers”, 2015) One can argue that Picasso and Matisse took this concept and made their own works that both…
