Pablo Picasso

was a movement developed in the 20th century by Pablo Picasso and George Braque. In its most simple analytical stage, cubism abstracted the forms of the visible world into fragment of multiple points of view, then created an image from them which had its own inner logic. Picasso and Braque began working together in 1909, and by 1910 their experimentations were so closely linked that their styles became practically undistinguishable. Pablo Picasso painted Les Demoiselles d’Avignon, which was…

Art is the key to the expression of the artist’s thoughts and their feelings. The strokes of the brush, the depth, and intent in the strokes have a message to share with the viewer. It is for this that the aim of this paper is to look at Pablo Picasso’s 1937 painting Guernica. Upon first glance, the painting is filled with straight lines that are both horizontal and vertical. These are used in the creation of scenarios where everything seems to be in symmetry. Furthermore, the painting seems to…

artistic movements that defined the period between 1900 and 1980. Two different pieces that encompass varied approaches to art are Les Demoiselles d’Avignon by 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…

“New Encounters with Les Demoiselles d’Avignon: Gender, Race, and the Origins of Cubism” shows a more critical perspective of men (the painter and viewer), more specifically, Pablo Picasso. Paintings were geared more toward a male audience, so they could indulge themselves in their sexual desires. Anna Chave makes some valid points and explains the reason that painters chose to portray their images in this way gave me a new outlook into what they hoped to convey. The opening grabs the…

The Painting was beautiful and overwhelming. Guernica stood nearly twelve feet tall and was twenty five feet long. The painting had no color. It was created with blacks, whites and different shades of gray. The fact that Picasso did not use color showed how depressing this event was. In this painting the various pictures, of the people and animals in the town, display the event in which everyone and everything was being massacred. This mural was very brutal and dramatic.…

The artwork I’ve chosen for this assignment is Pablo Picasso’s 1960 painting, Woman in an Armchair (Jacqueline Roque Picasso).

In this painting Picasso uses a darker, earthy palette consisting of olive greens, black, beige, white and grey. The painting is done in Picasso’s signature Analytical Cubist style. Picasso uses his unique style to turn a common portrait into something abstract…

touch of benign lucidity. Matisse is often compared to Picasso, but when brought to my attention, I saw strong differences. Those including major contrasts in their artistic style. Matisse’s work was always based off of tradition whereas Pablo Picasso was a more modern artist. Not only did Matisse abide strongly to tradition, his art seemed to come effortlessly with a much less restless and slightly ironic approach compared to Pablo Picasso. Now when I apply Motherwell's quote to Matisse’s work,…

Tragedy If there is one idea to glean from Pablo Picasso’s unique and influential modern art style, it would be the brutal honesty of his works. Picasso’s artwork reflected exactly what he saw in the world, and he was not afraid to make ugly and harsh depictions, because sometimes the world is ugly and harsh. Pablo Picasso’s brutal honesty is most clearly exemplified in his depiction of the cruel and unnecessary bombing of Guernica, Spain, 1937. Picasso painted this disgusting tragedy of war…
