Matisse’s Bonheur de Vivre, Picasso’s Les Demoiselles d’Avignon, and Paul Cezanne’s The Bathers all depict scenes of nudes, but in very different ways. Matisse builds upon Cezanne’s use of color and form to depict his own interpretation of bathers while Picasso uses color in his depiction of a nude scene in a very different way. Paul Cezanne’s, Large Bathers, depicts a moment in time as impressionist’s were apt to convey with their work. However, the women shown are drawn abstractly.…

works of art that not only shock the world, but also started an aesthetic revolution which represented a landmark in art history. It was headed by Fauvism leader Paul Cézanne, and then avant-garde artist Henri Matisse, as well as the pioneering Cubist Pablo Picasso.

Next,…

This composition appears confusing and chaotic and is not easy to decipher and because of the overlapping and scattered images of humans, animals, and figures in a compressed space makes it difficult to distinguish their boundaries. The painting that is a palette of black, white, gray and some hue yellow.

I decided to look at more work by Edward Weston for this discussion. I chose his photograph on gelatin silver print that is 6 ¼ in. x 9 3/16 in. and titled “Knees” from 1927. I chose this piece of artwork because I find Weston’s work to be quit intriguing. It is all very detailed and the lighting he uses is simply amazing.

As any paranoiac, the artist should allow these images to reach the conscience, and then do what the paranoiac cannot do: Freeze them on canvas to give consciousness the opportunity to comprehend their meaning (Bell, 1984).
