Cubism

important artists of the entire 20th century. In 1907 I met a new friend named Georges Braque and together in 1908 devolved an artwork style which is still used today called cubism,cubism is a drawing in which an image is made up entirely of geometric shapes to represent something. In 1912 I made my first collage, Synthetic Cubism closed the gap between real life and the world of art by putting parts of the real world onto the image. I also embraced the fact that a painting is a two dimensional…

Pablo Picasso was born October 25 1881, in Malaga, Spain; he died April 8 1973, at the age of 92 in Mougins, France. He was a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist, and stage designer who spent most of his adult life in France.

His father was Jose Ruiz Blasco, and his mother was Maria…

The world in which we live in is something that is constantly changing. Nothing ever stays the same. And with these changes in the world, there comes changes in painting as well. Painting has come a long way, and as the times change, the style, subject matter, and characteristics of painting change as well. The Baroque period took place between the years 1600-1750. There are two main characteristics that seem to be representative of baroque painting. There seemed to always be a sense of…

designer, and a poet. Picasso was a prominent figure, especially in the 20th century, because there were many art movements during that time. He had a great impact on the world of art which made him gain many fans and critics alike. He was the creator of Cubism together with Georges Braque. The artist was radical in his work and, as a result, he invented collage and contributed to symbolism and surrealism. Picasso was one of the greatest artists of modern art because he added many works…

Pablo Picasso and Fountain by Marcel Duchamp. Both of these works are largely influential in the span of modern art for their innovation in representation and method of depiction. Pablo Picasso is perhaps one of the principal artists that pioneered Cubism during the twentieth century— Cubists disregarded the traditional notion of perspective and principally relied on the abstraction of form. Les Demoiselles d’Avignon…

Paul Cezanne was an amazing and influential painter to Matisse, Picasso, and many other artists that would follow. Cezanne's work would nearly single-handedly help reign in the artistic era of Cubism, as both Picasso and Matisse became interested in and inspired by his painting The Bathers, which was exhibited in 1907 (The National Gallery, 2016). His work inspired Matisse so much that he would go on to say that Cezanne was, "...father of us all" (Harris & Zucker, n.d., p.1). Cezanne's is most…

Picasso and Matisse were two of the best inspired artistes during the 20th century that change how other people look at art not only back then, but continue inspiring in the year 2015. Art is a beautiful is something were we can express our feelings. Art is not just about drawing and making things look nice, there so much more to it. Looking at a piece of work we can realize many things, how the artist was feeling at moment or if their were trying to tell us a message. Art has develop a lot…

Gustave Courbet was a man interested in beauty no matter where he found it while Eugène Delacroix focused more on beauty in war and suffering. Both painters used color to enhance the authenticity of the the people in the images. As well as color, the painters used shadowing and it enhanced the mystery and seriousness of the paintings. Gustave and Eugène both painted pictures of characters that were surrounded by backgrounds that either enhanced them or the scene or the image in the back was…

very different to Picasso’s Les Demoiselles d’Avignon, although it is certainly clear that Picasso had been very much inspired by the magnificent painting. It helped Picasso to look at objects from varying viewpoints, which ultimately inspired the Cubism movement. The most obvious difference in this painting to Cézanne’s (and Matisse’s, even) is that his nudes look very aware that we are viewing them, and seem to be looking right back at us, which comes across as suggestive and seductive.…

destination to practice and learn new styles and art forms. During his stay in Paris he started to work on cubism and surrealism; he was the founder of these art styles. He perfected the art styles and began creating plenty of distinct pieces that were as a result of the influence of his art forms (3). Pablo Picasso constantly updated his art style while he was in Paris which included rose period, cubism, realism, African influenced style, and the blue period. This resulted in Picasso becoming…
