A Comparison Of Picasso : Picasso And Picasso Paintings

Now is the time in this period of changes and revolution to use a revolutionary manner of painting and not to paint like before. - Pablo Picasso, 1935. (Barnes)

Through the years art has been regarded as a form of communication, emotion, a feeling or expression of ideas, by which we mean a person or convey something. This idea can be captured in a painting, sculpture or even through writing, which through their expressions disclose the most characteristic form of a culture. By century to century there has been many creative persons like writer, artist, composer who contributed to development in the all creative fields. We also had so many great visual artists who create greatest arts, music and books. Pablo Picasso is one of them, who took modern art at new level. He was one of well-known artist in history .In fact, his vision and distinct creative style, some of the most innovative pieces he introduced to the art world.

Utilising, “The Study Diamond: effects, techniques, context and meaning” (The Open University, 2013, p. 76), this essay will argue through close visual analysis from an art history point of view that Picasso’s Guernica is a form of protest. The essay will also argue that Guernica’s meaning has changed to include becoming a symbol of peace and continues to fulfil its purpose as a form of protest.

In this essay, I will be comparing and contrasting artists Pablo Picasso and Van Gogh, considering their intentions with their artwork. Van Gogh and Picasso two of the most famous artists out there and still are to this day. Uncountable books have been published and dedicated to them and their lives and careers of being true artist. Their art has changed the way people view things and the world around them.

In 1656, Diego Velazquez made a painting titled, Las Meninas. He was a painter for a royal family and many of his paintings consisted of the family. Many years later, Pablo Picasso painted over 50 variations of this painting. One including his 1957 painting that was based strongly on the princess of the royal family. Although both paintings can be related to each other, they both each portray their own meanings. It may be easy to tell that both paintings may be similar because of their appearance of the princess. In Velazquez’s painting, he paints five year old, Infanta Margarita, who is being helped by many servants, including her bodyguard and dog. In Picasso's painting, he also includes the princess, who

He wanted to make the painting his own way. Picasso had his own point of view on las meninas by just painting the princess and the attendants. I think he decided to paint just the princess and attendants because he wanted to show the difference between the two. The princess is highly praised while the attendants don’t get noticed. The attendants are always longing in the princesses shadow, just like how in the painting the attendant is kneeling down to the princess, supposedly helping her get ready.I think Velazquez created such a work because he was trying to put his own life experiences into something. I think he was trying to express two different groups of people.In the painting there is the royal princess and her attendants. There is other people in the painting that people are less focused on. When you look at the painting there is people gathered around

For the second art encounter I visited the Museum of Art at BYU and viewed the Andy Warhol and Pablo Picasso print exhibit.There were several other modernist artist on display in the exhibit, such as Lichtenstein and Kalloeitz, however Warhol and Picasso were the artist that are most talked about in this course. Both of these artist are considered to be modernist, however their works look very different. Andy Warhol’s iconic Marilyn Monroe print was on display showing the industrial, pop side of modernist art. Warhol’s art imitates the negative social norms of the time. His lowd use of neon color and choice of subject add to the growing popularity of veneration of celebrities. He also was one of the first artist to mass produce his art, adding

Pablo Picasso, although usually known as just Picasso. His full name though is actually: Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Ruiz y Picasso. His signature is worth more than some of his paintings. In fact in some restaurants he just drew a quick face and then signed it (when he was famous). He was one of the most well known people in the 20th century. He was born in 25th of October 1881 in Malaga, Spain, and then died on the 8th of April 1973 Mougins, France. He was a: painter, drawing, sculpture, print making, and ceramics.

Every artist has his or her own style of painting. Each painting tells some sort of story or has some type of personal meaning to the artist. One of the most important figures in modern art is Pablo Picasso. Not only was Pablo Picasso a genius in the field of abstract art, but he also experimented with sculpting and ceramics. Pablo Picasso has taken the world to many places with his unique style of work which is why I believe he is considered to be a genius of the 20th century.

Pablo Picasso, one of the greatest and most influential artists of the 20th century and co-founder of the Cubist movement, was a participant in Europe’s political discourse during most of the early 1900s. Picasso’s Guernica, one of his most powerful political statements, was painted as an immediate reaction to the Nazi’s casual bombing practice on the Basque town of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War. Guernica, a mural-size canvas painted in blue, black, and white oil, shows tragedies of war and the suffering it inflicts upon individuals, particularly innocent civilians. Picasso depicts turmoil, people and animals suffering, with building in disarray torn apart by violence and mayhem. With Guernica, Picasso establishes his identity and his strength as an artist when confronted with political authority and intolerable violence, especially in his native land. Interpretations of the symbolism of Guernica

The author began by educating the reader about a few major event and background information that affected Picasso. Firstly, Berger mention that’s Spain is a feudal county, which meant that it was very old fashioned and it still used the feudalism system. According to the Oxford Dictionary feudalism mean the dominant social system in medieval Europe, in which the nobility held lands of the Crown in exchange for military service, and vassals were in turn tenants of the nobles, while the peasants (villeins or serfs) were obliged to live on their lord's land and give him homage, labor, and a share of the produce, notionally in exchange for military protection. This meant that Spain was undeveloped compared to the country surrounding them. Spain at the time also lacked many major industrial companies, thus made them very poor. As a consequence of this people were fed up with the lack of changes. This spark the idea of anarchism, which means the abolition of all government and organization of society. On top of all this, Spain was a very

Introduction: Prior to completing Three Musicians, Pablo Picasso was associated with the refined world of ballet as he became the set designer for multiple performances across Europe. Picasso took inspiration from his experiences with commedia dell’arte and Ballet Russes to complete Three Musicians in Fontainebleau, France during the summer of 1921. Picasso’s influence with theater is evident in this painting as he depicts himself as the Harlequin, which is a common motif found in commedia dell’arte that ties in with the Rose Period from his earlier life. Not only does the Harlequin symbolize theatre and Picasso’s alter-ego but the Perriot and Monk figures are cubist manifestations of his two poet friends, one of whom passed away. Despite

Las Meninas was Velázquez’s largest oeuvre measuring 3.21 m by 2.81 m (Umberger 96). Velázquez’s masterpiece is one that draws sharp criticism ranging from those who find this work as a complete piece with its pictorial features prominent in the artwork, to those who find it hard to interpret its content conclusively (Ancell 159-160; Snyder 542+; Steinberg 48; Bongiorni 88). Despite such disparities, Velázquez’s masterpiece was able to project a day in the life of the royal family while at the same time achieving his artistic ideal. This work explores this artwork in light of the royal family and personal gratification by Velázquez as a celebrated artist.

Some think rivalry is two people that holds onto totally different believes and don’t fit together well. But Matisse and Picasso proved to the society that rivalry isn’t always negative, it also brings onboard competition, inspiration, motivation, friendship and more. Ever after Gertrude Stein arranged a meet between the two, Picasso and Matisse became rivals for the rest of their life. Both were influential artist that have dominated the art of the twentieth century. Even though, they were rivals, Picasso and Matisse envied each other’s artwork. Some describe their relationship as a game of chess, the back and forth interaction and acknowledging each other’s talent; some describe it as tango, the passion and love in every move, the
