Women Of Algiers By Pablo Picasso

The painting is depicting Picasso’s mistress Marie-Thérèse Walter. She is looking at herself in the mirror. The woman in the painting has very elegant feature. She has an even complexion and beautiful eyes. One side of her face is yellow which appears to be makeup with a greenish eye shadow and bright red blush. The other side of her face is a lavender color which is the same color as her arm, hands, breasts, stomach, and legs. The lavender side of the face does not have any makeup and is very smooth and blemish free. In the mirror her reflection she has darker purple complexion with added green and red on her face. There is a shadow on her face of the side of her head and neck. Her body is covered in light green lines that are all slanted downward. In the reflection both of her eyes are round and two different shades of red. One is a bright red and the other is a deeper red and they both look out of focus.

What makes art, art? What does it mean to have mastered your craft? These questions are very open-ended, but what if one would ask about a specific art movement? For instance, what makes Rococo, Rococo? This question has a very specific answer, which is the gentle strokes of the brush, pastel color, the soft features of the subjects, and its depiction of the rich and famous. The display of wealth and prominence captured forever on canvas. An example of one such scene would be the painting “Madame Bergeret” by François Boucher. The painting was very exquisite. The woman portrayed (Madame Bergeret) was painted with skin so fair one could tell it was never touched by the sun with just a hint of pastel pink to kiss her cheeks,

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.

Maya Angelou was born in St. Louis, Missouri, is a writer,and she is known for many auto-biographical novels and she also writes poetry and essays. She also loved to study music, dance,and drama. From 1963 to 1966 Angelou was involved in the black civil rights movement. Maya Angelou wrote this specific poem called; “Phenomenal Women”. Angelou has a very creative way of saying things throughout her poem. Angelou talks about a woman in the poem that talks about herself a lot she repeats the phrase“ I’m a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman that's me”( Angelou) therefore Angelou might be this person in her poem. Angelou is trying to show the reader that you need to have more confidence in your own person instead of worrying about others judgment.

One of the unique parts of the ‘Seated Woman’ painting is the style that is presented by Picasso. Made mainstream in the art world by Picasso and fellow artist Georges Braque, cubism is the

The painting was rejected by the official French academy in 1863 because it left the salon jury outraged to how the woman is being shown in the nude with no shame at all. Although nude women had always been the subject of classical art the problem here was that she was being depicted as a normal human being. Her body posture seemed relaxed, by slouching it also creates folds on her stomach. The salon did not approve as she was displayed as a regular modern day woman who happened to take her clothes off (you can see her polka dotted dress and hat towards her left) rather than a goddess or mythological creature. Another problem they had was that she is looking directly into the viewer’s eyes with confidence and self-awareness to which people were not

While Picasso’s Demoiselles is not a true Cubist work, it was nonetheless a major step towards Cubism. It features nude figures and background that are so distorted they seem to forgo any spatial depth. The softness of classical female bodies are restructured by Picasso into

Les Demoiselles d'Avignon (The Young Ladies of Avignon, and originally titled The Brothel of Avignon) is a large oil painting of 1907 by the Spanish artist Pablo Ruiz Picasso (1881–1973). The work portrays five nude female prostitutes from a brothel on Avinyó Street in Barcelona. Each figure is depicted in a disconcerting confrontational manner and none are conventionally feminine. The women appear as slightly menacing and rendered with angular and disjointed body shapes. Two are shown with African mask-like faces and three more with faces in the Iberian style of Picasso's native Spain, giving them a savage aura. In this adaptation of Primitivism and abandonment of perspective in favor of a flat, two-dimensional

While researching the provided articles, my interest was drawn to works of art that have been stolen or looted. Although it did not come to much surprise that such terrible events such as theft occurred, I did not fully understand how big of an issue it actually is in our world as we know it today. This is an issue that many are not aware of, and unfortunately, most do not care. With every event that happens, there is always at least one consequence or more that will proceed. That means that because of all of the stealing and looting occurring, it will affect the world, and possibly us too. This crime is one that individuals can make a profit, which is exactly what ISIS has done. That means there is a market to this. The articles and video

Rather than the painting being a muslim woman, as I first perceived it to be, it turned out to be a woman whose mouth is being covered, and head is being held by big, strong and powerful hands. When taking a closer look at the painting, you realize the hands have a firm and tight grasp, restricting any noise coming out of her mouth, symbolizing the silence women are expected to abide to. Although women all around the world, of all races, age, and religion face oppression, women in the middle east are most commonly known for living in a misogynistic society where they

Picasso was born on October 25 1881, Nationality: Spanish and the movement of his artwork were Cubism, and Surrealism. Art is an artist’s individual interpretation of the subject. Female nude is a piece of art which makes the viewer think what is the artist trying to express by his painting. I was really confused at first when I looked at the art work and it took me a while to figure out what the art really means to its viewer. In general, the visual elements present in the art work like color, shape, lines, curves, and the subject itself are most remarkable visual features. While viewing this piece of art one thing you will notice is the color shade and the sharpen lines of the artwork attracts the viewers and hold you up for a while. Deep color combination of the background and the bright color frame work makes the piece look more vivid and attractive. I am still not quite sure about what is the artist trying to express from this painting but all in all I really liked this piece of

What society thinks about yourself becomes important when you feel that people treat you in a different way. It is not about what you do, it is about how society judge you. In the article, “Beast of Burden” by Sunaura Taylor we have a story of a disable person who narrates how was her life since her childhood until now. On the other hand, there is another article, “The Arab Woman And I” by Mona Fayad which tells us about a lady who had to experience the opinions of others, society suppose her to be someone even when she does not want.

Simone De Beauvoir in The Second Sex suggests that to resolve the tension between bad faith and authenticity, people must regard women as subjects and not objects. They must also collectively fight against the idea of womanhood in order to remain authentic to themselves.

Leonardo Da vinci painted the “Mona Lisa” in 1503. The artist portrays a young woman, which acquires the concept of feminine youth and more essentially the concept of elegance. In relation to Agnolo firenzuola’s novel “On The Beauty Of Women” , the portrait attributes to major physical characteristics in which is considered to be genuine beauty by the modern man. Seeing the female portraiture of the italian renaissance, Firenzuola implies a specific interpretation by analyzing the modern woman. Through the famous paintings illustrated by Leonardo da Vinci, the Mona Lisa specifically supports the arguments and claims made by the poet’s correspondence to the beauty of women. Along with Da Vinci’s sticking features, the artist paints Firenzuola’s ideal beauty in comparability to the appearance of definitive grace. With his analyzations being extremely aesthetic, Firenzuolo activates criticizing aspects of the proportions of the figure, the placement of the figure’s position and the importance of the half length portrait of the feminine nature in relation to the portraiture of Mona Lisa.
