Maar, painted in 1937 by talented artist Pablo Picasso. The portrait of Dora Maar is painted in a cubist style. It concentrates many bright colours including yellows, blues, greens, and oranges towards the face. Yet has many cooler shades of colours such as green, purple, blue and red towards the torso.

The way Pablo Picasso executed this piece was that it was something

created during the late 1930s, which have since become widely renowned as the most complexly conceived and beautifully rendered compositions the artist had done since his cubist period a quarter century earlier. Just as Braque, together with his friend Picasso, were on the eve of the First World War mining the possibilities of high cubism in its newer synthetic phase, so he had again arrived at an especially productive juncture in his career, during which he was summing up and further enriching those characteristic

Telling a story in a painting is common for artists, but Pieter Bruegel the Elder was capable of doing more than that: some of his artwork had multiple stories embedded in them, which had much more meaning than a single narrative could have. Bruegel was famous for painting landscapes and peasant scenes. He differed from Southern Renaissance artists, in that he gave more space to the landscape in his paintings. Bruegel employed folk to present the moral values, and he used elevated viewpoint to create

Following a close friend’s untimely death in 1901, Spanish painter Pablo Picasso fell into a severe depression and entered into a period known as the “Blue Period”. During his time in Paris, he was far from home, alone, and found himself faced with extreme poverty.

It is often said that losing one sense causes the others to sharpen. Undoubtedly one of history’s great artists in regards to painting and etching, Francisco de Goya is no exception to this legend. The images created after his brush with death that left him deaf, and especially those painted during the final years of his life known as the “Black Paintings”, certainly suggest that his vision grew keener with the loss of his hearing. A closer look at his career proves that Goya always possessed a keen

In 1936, the Spanish Republican government asked Pablo Picasso, the popular Spanish painter, to create a piece for the Paris World’s Fair in 1937. Picasso created the painting “Guernica” with an underlying political theme that outlined the recent events of the Spanish Civil War, in which he never explicitly painted for social/civic interests prior to “Guernica”. The celebration of the Paris World Fair was aimed for technological expansion, but the painting didn’t follow the same aspirations as the
