Guernica by Pablo Picasso      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

Diego Rivera was born on December 8, 1886, in Guanajuato, Mexico. At the age of three years Rivera began drawing on his walls at home and his parents saw this and instead of punishing him for drawing on the walls they nurtured his creativity. Rivera made art that portrayed the lives of working class Mexican people. Rivera’s passion for art began from a young age. Around 10 old years he went on to study art at the San Carlos Academy of Fine Arts in Mexico City where he received training modeled on conservative European academies. Later in his life he traveled to Europe to continue his art studies where he friended many famous artists such as Pablo Picasso. In Spain, Rivera studied the work of El Greco, Velazquez, Goya, and the Flemish masters

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

“Thinkers aren't limited by what they know, because they can always increase what they know. Rather they're limited by what puzzles them, because there's no way to become curious about something that doesn't puzzle you. If a thing falls outside the range of people's curiosity, then they simply cannot make

JOSE CLEMENTE ORAZCO’S EPIC Matthew Johnson Art 458: Modern Latin American Art Professor Paquette 17 November 2016 In 1934 José Clemente Orozco completed a two-year fresco mural project at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire.

I mean afterall, it is Picasso and we’ve been learning about him since elementary. I honestly didn’t do much research on what the Art Institute of Chicago had, so seeling about of Salvador Dali, Picasso and Marc Chagall everywhere and so many of the collections was off guard. I guess I just need to think more about artwork that you can drive too and get out and see more art. Anyways, The Old Guitarist is full of emotion. From Picasso's blue period we see a lot of human suffering. I know we’ve talked about the “La Vie” painting in class, he did. Modern artist put themselves into art that speaks, and lives with us. It’s not academic were they remake what we see or alter documentation. This are personal and expressed with emotion. Both of my artist i chose branch out into other modern art categories, like cubism, expressionism and more. We take more the variety and just experiment, and experimental art is modern

In Goya’s time, there was not a certain school of art that his painting could be categorized under. Bukoski writes in his article about Goya that, “He is known as ‘The man without an ism’ because he paints realism and fantasy and it is hard to decipher which ‘ism’ his work falls into.” Francisco Goya started out painting portraits and later as his art matured he started painting more grotesquely. He did not try to flatter his subjects as other painters of the time did. Today Goya’s art is considered developmental for his time. Francisco Goya is said to be, “the father of modern art” because of his paintings of war scenes and in the manner that he painted his portraits. Goya’s art is considered by some critics, “to be more a caricature than

A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man Stephen Dedalus - Rebel Without a Cause? His soul had arisen from the grave of boyhood, spurning her grave-clothes. Yes! Yes! Yes! He would create proudly out of the freedom and power of his soul, as the great artificer whose name he bore, a living thing, new and soaring and beautiful, impalpable, imperishable

And everyone is going to take what Napoleon Bonaparte said differently because the think differently than I would. Because everyone has a different imagination on how to interpret something. And if nobody had an imagination gods wouldn’t have been created so their would be no religions, no different beliefs. Only logic and science. But not saying that knowledge isn’t important because knowledge is very important because if nobody had any knowledge we wouldn’t have society and governmental structure. There would be no trading systems. Our civilization would probably have died long ago if not for knowledge. But in the argument of if imagination is greater than knowledge it is more important than knowledge because imagination makes up a person's personality and there own being. That way it makes them their own unique person and nobody else is going too be exactly like them. Granted that imagination never got us anywhere further in knowledge. Other than the fact that it’s pushing our minds from the realm of possibility to something of

TOK ESSAY “Art is a lie that brings us nearer to the truth” (Pablo Picasso) There are different ways for art to portray elements of truth and lies; but what Picasso was mostly referring to with his quote was that art might be a representation of the truth however lies to the human eye in terms of perception. The word art is somehow “controversial, especially in contemporary philosophy” because it relies on different AOK’s and WOK’s. The main area of art focused to support Picasso’s quote will be theatre and what philosophical role it plays in our everyday society, do we really need it, and is theatre the true or false image of reality? It is evidently challenging to make any sense out of this quote especially when the truth can
