I say this because I said that Picasso’s had the woman making the girl big. In Velazquez’s the girl has the women also making her the center point. She couldn’t be though if the she didn’t have the women helping her and “making” her. I say this because she looks like she has a lot of things going on just sitting down and she couldn’t do everything by herself so to look good she needs the helpers or women. This is why I think that these two paintings look similar in this topic and also could look different.Contrasting:The second thing that I think is different about these two paintings is that the girl in Picasso’s painting is living in poverty and she looks pretty when she is cleaned up. In Velazquez’s the girl is living a lush life and has servants doing her work and she is just a young girl. The reason I say this is because since Velazquez was the king’s painter he only painted things that looked expensive for the king and his family to see. In Picasso’s case he was just a really good painter and he painted things that everybody who had practically nothing could

Before going into any detail about his art, background on Pablo Picasso is introduced. He fell in love with and married a woman named Marie Therese Walter and she was inspiration for a lot of his early and later paintings. He was a different kind of person, who easily

There are very few things that appreciate with time. Many people love to bank on a rookie baseball player, in hopes his card will be worth thousands. Many invest in land, praying they hit a gold mine like land in Frisco or Prosper, Texas. One of these rare items is art. Art is a luxury, that many high income people love to invest in. Pablo Picasso’s art is some of the most if not the most prominent, pieces of artwork in the world. Picasso was a trendsetter of sorts, helping start many movements including introducing the idea of a collage in his later paintings. Picasso had a habit of drawing his lovers in his paintings. For some of his mistresses, he created lots of art with them as the main subjects of the paintings, as those were the stronger influences. Many of his paintings were centered around one of his mistresses, Marie-Therese Walter. Picasso met the 17-year-old Walter while he was married to his wife, Olga Khokhlova. Throughout their relationship, which spanned nine years, she was the centerpiece of his work. Depending on the depiction of the subject, Picasso showed his emotion toward Walter. The painting, ‘Seated Woman’ of Walter by Picasso portrays a unique style, a powerful use of colors, and a different view of Walter in comparison to paintings of his other mistresses.

Meaning is an explanation that uses to describe an emotion in the scene, which leads the audience to a better interpretation of a narrative in the painting. Monet uses a quick-painted style to portray reality, which, in this case, is a collective joy of intimate friends in a garden (Walton, 2007). In the foreground, there is a graceful woman sitting under the tree and smiling at the sounds of her two friends flirting behind her. A man and a woman seem to share a flirtatious conversation as the woman appears a pink flush on her cheeks while answering the man’s question, covering her face with a bouquet of flowers in her hands, and sneakily looking at the man’s face. Another woman, young and innocent, staying in the background, is delightfully admiring the flower bushes around her with a beaming smile appeared on her lips. She seems to be one of the nature lovers who can solely spend most of her time outdoor amid the flower garden. The feelings of these three people are all freshened up by the delightful talk and the support of natural surrounding around them. On the contrary, Picasso prefers a sharp painting style represented in geometric shapes, such as triangle, rectangle or oval, which may lead audiences to have a profound feeling (“Pablo Picasso,” 2009). Considering the painting named “Seated woman in a garden”, Picasso captures a moment of a woman sitting alone in a spacious garden. Perhaps the woman is waiting for her lover at the appointment; however, as she waits longer she does not seem to see her love, therefore appearing gloomy features. In addition, the nature around her seems to reciprocate her grief by appearing leaves in a dull tone of green color instead of the freshly light green as revealed in the Monet’s garden. Thus, the painting of Monet is more appealing due to the delightful story of lively friends, a pleasant couple, and a nature lover, which many

Within this passage the central idea of “beauty” is developed by Crommelynck’s explanation of beauty and its application to art, and more specifically, poetry. Crommelynck’s description of the beauty develops the idea because it gives an understanding of how wide the scope is for something to be beautiful. She also explains that beauty cannot be created and how it instead resides in something which ties in with her view on truth in art. She believes that if an art form is truthful then beauty can reside in it. This develops on the concept of what beauty

This next painting was one of my favorites that I saw at this gallery, called, Aztec Goddess created by Adolfo Gonzalez. This is a rather large piece of work with amazing details. The Artist used lines to give the shape of the leaves and the headdress. The artist used many different shapes to make this painting such as in the headdress and the thing on which it appears that she is sitting on they both have a lot of details. The Artist put a lot of emphasis into the top of the painting where her head is and the headdress which symbolizes importance in Aztec culture. This painting even though it was only in black in white the amount of detail and the usage of space were well put together on this piece.

Girl before a Mirror, an oil on canvas painting by Spanish artist Pablo Picasso, shows two sides of a girl; one which is illustrated with a dark tone and one with a vibrant colorful tone. This painting is bright; colors are at full intensity and are arranged next to their complements, producing a visual relationship between shape and form. Forms are used to draw the viewer’s eye across the canvas where circular shapes, repeating throughout the work, are compensated by the pattern of diagonal lines of the background. The viewer observes the girl’s profile and full frontal image, looking into a mirror and noticing a different image of herself. In order to achieve this effect, Picasso uses a range of formal elements that highlight the

The painting shows five women naked with flat figures, disintegrated planes and faces, inspired by African masks. The compacted space the figures occupy appears to project forward in jagged shards; a fiercely pointed slice of melon in the still life of fruit at the bottom of the composition teeters on an impossibly upturned table top. In this painting, Picasso makes a radical departure from traditional European painting by adaptation of Primitivism and abandonment of perspective in goodwill of a level two-dimensional picture of a plane.

hrough the spirit of lust, Satan’s attempt to distort God’s sacred sexual presence within humanity had managed to monopolize a multitude of sexual venues. Distinctly the most powerful opponent of Jesus was the evil spirit of lust and its ability to possess and control the majority of people. Yet, due to Christ’s intervention a new found revelation caught fire, awakening God’s sexual presence once again. The battle that Jesus Christ undertook with Satan and his numerous advocates gave those who believed, a new dawn of understanding that God’s spirit would protect and save them. Trusting that, unlike pagan superstitions and beliefs, Christians would obtain a new found spiritual possession of strength and endurance through the spirit of Christ;
