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. The…

The artist Pablo Picasso has greatly impacted the development of modern and contemporary art. His work includes over 20,000 paintings, prints, drawings and much more. Pablo Picasso was born on October 25, 1881, In Málaga, on the southern Spanish coast. Picasso’s father, José Ruiz Blasco, supported the family by teaching drawing at the local art school. At the age of seven, Picasso received formal artistic training from his father in figure drawing and oil painting. His father was a traditional,…

“No passion so effectively robs the mind of all its powers of acting and reasoning as fear....whatever is terrible, therefore, with regard to sight, is sublime, too." John Martin was a 19th century English painter, illustrator and engraver. He often featured melodramatic scenes of apocalyptic events taken from the Bible and other mythological sources. John was first apprenticed by his father which was where he was inspired to create art. While attending school at the Royal Academy he later got…

“Discuss how artists from different times and cultures have created aesthetic qualities in artworks, communicated ideas and developed styles.” Throughout the history of art, there has been so many famous art styles and famous artists. Two of the most famous artists were Pablo Picasso and Frida Kahlo. Both of these two artists were in the same era but their work were two different styles. Picasso’s style was cubism whereas Kahlo’s style was surrealism. One of the famous artworks that Picasso has…

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…

The beautifully wise words of an American painter, Robert Motherwell, could not have described abstract art any better I strongly believe. He intricately and sophisticatedly describes the breath-taking style of abstract art as follows, “The function of abstraction is to get rid of a lot of reality. You start with as much richness as you want, and subtract, and then you arrive at the residue of essences that you’re interested in.” This description really allows the reader to visualize the artist…

It is clear, the inspiration Matisse and Picasso both got from Cezanne in these specific works. All three of these works feature the naked human form in some sort of action with others, a lot of color. In The Large Bathers you find a group of nude people, framed by large looming trees in front of a large water source. It is pretty PG for a nude painting, not being vulgar or coming across in a sexual manner. The subjects are all fairly realistic in body formation and postures and are sized in…

What is cubism? Cubism is an artist movement organized around the principle that art did not need to be realistic or representational. What is the painting about? The painting is about five nude prostitutes from a brothel in Barcelona. What does the title mean? The title means The Young Ladies of Avignon. Why do we see shattered forms? We see shattered forms because Picasso is using cubism to create two dimensional figures on the canvas. What did this painting do for the art world?…

The Cubism art movement started around the 20th century. The very famous Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque started this movement. Most Cubism art is a two-dimensional style. Weird shapes, lines and angles are what makes up this style of art. As this art movement became more popular and popular, Cubism art was changing and developing into an art that was basically a collage. Cubism art gave artist and people who generally just loved art, a new way to depict real life objects. Cubism art wasn’t…

content of the Inaugural Addresses has also changed. George Washington had to be much more modest, speaking about his personal problems and as much as he would like to rest, his country was calling him. In the beginning with Washington, the issue was that he would be able to turn the presidency…
