Essay about Cubism

Pablo Picasso many relationships with women showed in his art and directed its course. He was the most dominant and influential artist of the first half of the twentieth century. Picasso invented collage and made major contributions to Symbolism and Surrealism. He was associated with pioneering Cubism, alongside George Braque. Not only did women influence Picasso and his work but his relationships with other artists was a factor.

The dark blue left eye and light blue right tells me that Pablo Picasso may have used her actual eye color. Her body is almost as if she had her back to Picasso and turning her torso toward him; such as in most contrapposto art. In the original sketch you can clearly see her arms and the detail of her body. She is not looking back at Picasso, but instead looking toward the opening curtain. The hair of the young lady is also more visible as it drapes down her back. By repositioning her arm and adding the mask he completely changed her appearance, not only in her face but her body as well. Picasso gave her a double point of view, as you look at her nose and the angles it provides. The hand under the chin gives it an almost claw like feature, with what seems to be her fingers going to her eye to her the opposite side of the chin. With the sharp angles and mask and all the distortion it would be difficult to truly see just the young lady. It is almost as if she is shards of glass pieced together to make a

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.

Perturbed times in life often were the influence for Picasso’s paintings. Colors and shades were used on the paintings created to reflect all of the troublesome times he went through and how much of an effect those

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.

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 was one of the brightest artist for his time and he has been credited with influencing many of the different directions that art went in the twentieth century. Picasso was said to influence styles of art like surrealism and co-invent cubism and not unlike artists before him, he drew inspiration from the great people of the time such as Freud or artists like Cézanne. Picasso was unique in the fact that his paintings represented what he wanted them to represent and through the freedom of interpretation, Picasso was able to influence those who saw his works. Picasso was such a different painter in his time because instead of focusing on the details and trying to make things perfectly realistic, he painted with a sort of freedom

Picasso used several principle and element of art while painting “Guernica”. Some of the elements include value, line, shape, color and, space.

In Picasso’s piece there are many curved lines, which seem to suggest a sense of comfort and ease, while the horizontal lines in the piece suggest a distance and calm. All of these feeling would appeal to the people who had witnessed the devastations of the war only several years before the painting was made. The long continuous lines guides the viewer’s eye in certain directions, and keeps the viewer interested. The shapes in Woman in the Blue Veil mostly consist of  round shapes like ovals, which represent a kind of continuous movement.

Here Colesscott has developed Picasso’s abstraction and ‘Africanism’ in line with European influences. Colescott has made this famous image his own, in terms of color and content, whilst still making his inspiration clear. Picasso’s borrowing of the original art piece allowed him to remodel the painting into one that contains a different interpretation of society, context, colors and formal expressions. Picasso saw the strength and valuable assets in the original painting and stole them into his own like an artist, making use of the best features and enhancing them through his own

Born on October 25, 1881. From the beginning Picasso’s parents knew that he was set out for great things. His father Don Jose was an art teacher and artist, he had taught Pablo everything he had known, by the age of 13 Pablo’s skill level had surpassed his father’s. Pablo was relatively poor student, and also a trouble maker. He had lost all desire to do any school work, all he want to do was make art.

Pablo Picasso was considered the greatest artist of the 20th century because of his unique styles and techniques. Pablo Ruiz y Picasso was born in Malaga, Spain on October 25, 1881 to a professor of art named Jose Ruiz Blanco and his wife Maria Picasso Lopez. Because of his fathers’ occupation, Picasso’s talent was quickly noticed and appreciated. Don Jose, an art teacher, moved Picasso and his family to La Coruna and then to Barcelona where he was Picasso’s instructor at the fine arts academy. At the age of 10 Picasso made his first paintings, and performed brilliantly on the entrance exams to Barcelona’s School Of Fine Arts.

Pablo Picasso was a spanish painter who completed girl before a mirror in 1932. At first glimpse of this painting could advance viewers into thinking of arrogance or vanity because of the concentrated girl looking at her reflection in the mirror. However, the painting divulges more information because of the grown womb and mature face of the women. Picasso was a founder of the cubist style which broke down objects into diverse shapes and sizes and could allow the viewer to acknowledge the painting from different point perspectives.

Picasso uses texture and an array of complementary and analogous colors characterized by a range of hues, values, and light to create a dramatic difference between the two subjects. The dominant and repetitive colors in the painting are green, yellow, lavender, red, and blue. The use of color, especially when used with the different geometric shapes, creates both a range of values as well as contrasts to adjacent areas. The profile and frontal head have lighter values such as yellow and lavender, whereas the reflection, painted with a rough charcoal texture has a dominance of blue, especially around the face, reflecting darker values. The use of complementary colors such as red and green create a brighter canvas, while the use of analogous combinations such as green and yellow, and green and blue blend well together. Overall, the reds and greens are bright throughout, giving intensity to the painting while the use of soft blue in the reflection, is not as intense and warm. Picasso also uses complementary colors of red and green against lavender in the figure to make the figure prominent. In the reflection, analogous colors are used throughout, but predominately on the top with purple
