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)

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

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

Ever wonder what opposition to cultural trends can lead someone? Ever question what kind of success can erupt from dislocating and distorting one’s work into a brand unique to no one but yourself? Pablo Picasso and Zaha Hadid were two of the most successful artists within the modernist movement. Both Picasso and Hadid laid the foundation to their success with a strong educational background. While each artist knew that their sheer talent and works would not contribute to their succession alone. Picasso and Hadid sought the importance of defining one’s brand on a global scale. Building a connection between a consumer and their product, both Picasso and Hadid knew that their talent and business practices would allow them to convey

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.

To begin addressing this assignment first I must define what art is throughout the weeks I have been enrolled in “Art and Architecture of Latin America.” To me what I have come to interpret is that art doesn’t necessarily have to involve paper, pencil or paint. Art is something that receives public reaction or that it can relate to someone. For example, take the drawings of Diego Rivera. One of his most famous works named “History of Mexico from the Conquest to the Future” can be found in Fresco, National Palace, Mexico City relates to his people's lives. Why you may ask? Well if you look closely to his drawings it shows the history of Mexico since the conquest of the Spaniards to the revolutions that emerged throughout Spaniard rule up until

     In 1937, Pablo Picasso painted Guernica, oil on canvas. The Republican Spanish government commissioned the mural for the 1937 World Fair in Paris. Guernica is a large mural, twenty-six feet wide and eleven feet tall, and was placed at the entrance to Spain’s pavilion. Picasso did not do any work after receiving the commission until reading of the bombing of the Basque village of Guernica, in Spain. It was that attack, perpetrated by the German Luftwaffe, that inspired him. Guernica, however, is not a complete depiction of that event. In Guernica, Picasso masterfully conveys the suffering of the Basque people and the tragedy of war. He seeks not to report on every detail of the bombing, but only to

It is a cheerful, acrylic painting created using bold and bright colors made to contrast one another. Torres used unity and variety with a selection of lines, shapes, and colors. When you first view the painting, you will notice the directional forces that cause your eyes to view the painting in a particular order. Staring at the front center, the eyes will follow the path of lines that lead your eyes over the entire painting. When you take a closer look at the piece, you will begin to notice a repetition of certain colors and shapes. The painting is also asymmetrically balanced. In my opinion, the most important Principle of Design used for this piece is contrast. The figure of the woman in the front is significantly contrasted from the rest of the painting, and she is made to be the focal point. This piece is representational artwork. It depicts the appearance of a woman and includes subjects from the everyday world.

Diego was born in a city in central Mexico named Guanajuato City. This town is in a narrow valley with narrow and winding streets. Rivera first got interested in art at the age of ten, when he studied at the Academy of San Carlos, which was in Mexico City. The young artist was recognized for his talent and sponsored by the governor of the State of Veracruz. He was then able to continue his studies in Europe.

The first image the stuck out to my visit to the Frost Museum located on the campus of Florida International University, was the pointillistic representation of one of Michelangelo’s paintings from the Sistine Chapel. In his work titled The Temptation (2013), Ramon Espanteleon uses the pointillism technique to depict a volumetric map of the island of Manhattan. As you walk closer to the image, you can see how the use of this pointillism gives the piece a unique effect that makes it stand out from the rest of the artist work in this gallery. He uses a grid a 6 x 6 grid method for the image, which can also be attributed to the “grid” method used to create the streets in Manhattan. The use of bright colors, mixed with the pointillism, gave the feeling of chaos and movement, which of course, are all attributes that can be given to the ever changing, fast paced world that is Manhattan.

By Alyssa WagnerDiego Velázquez and Pablo Picasso both created a work of art called “Las Meninas.” Velázquez created this painting for the royal family of Spain. Picasso created 58 interpretations of “Las Meninas,” but each in their own unique way. He may have borrowed Velázquez’s idea, but he created his own, very original, works of art around that idea. Now, the 58 pieces stand in a museum in Spain, where they are displayed to be gazed upon and to be appreciated by other citizens of Spain. Velázquez’s “Las Meninas” is now in Museo del Prado, in Madrid, Spain.Velázquez’s Las Meninas and Picasso’s Versions of Las Meninas have quite a few similarities. For starters, in both paintings there is the little princess in the middle of a room. She is also wearing the same outfit in each painting, even though Picasso’s version looks a little more like a block. In both of the pictures, the little princess is taking what looks like a cup from one of her ladies in waiting that is handing it to her on a golden tray. If you look closely at Velázquez’s painting, you can see that the cup in the princess’ hand has a hint of red color, and Picasso’s also added a bit of orange color to the cup in his painting. In both pieces, you can see that the room that the little princess stands in is dark, with different shades of dark colors, like gray, black, and a lighter gray. There are few differences between the two Las Meninas paintings. Here’s a few of them. One is

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.
