What would the world look like with out art? I don’t know, because we don’t have to find out. We are lucky to have brilliant artist who had the ability to shape the history of mankind. The most prolific of them all seemed to be Pablo Picasso. Pablo Picasso is probably one of the most influential individuals in the art world to date, without some of his work; art today would have a completely different face. The passion he ingrained onto the canvas and in his artwork had the power to invoke emotions from audiences around the world. Picasso was responsible for artwork like “Guernica”, “The old guitarist”, “The blue room Picasso”, and my personal favorite “portrait of daniel-henry kahnweiler”, these are only a few examples but the list goes on. …show more content…
The story’s say his first words were lapis, meaning pencil, his dad took him out to draw birds on occasion and it was there he saw the potential in his son Pablo. José Ruiz y Blasco, Picasso’s father, was also a well-known Spanish painter and a teacher of art and seeing his son had the gift, he immediately started training the young Picasso in the trade of art and he excelled rapidly. By the time Picasso reaches the age of 16 he had pretty much mastered classical art it its purity and went on to find his own style. Picasso moved to Paris with is best friend and fellow artist Carlos Casagemas. At the time Paris was the Vegas or Amsterdam of the world an the two were living like there was no tomorrow, but it was here Casagemas fell in love with a young lady named Germaine Pichot but she did not love him. They had a good relationship, but Germaine found out Casagemas was impatient and wanted more than just a platonic relationship, so she left him, and one night at a bar in the city Casagemas invited all of his friends out, he got really drunk, and attempted to kill Germaine with a gun he had hidden in his pocket. Casagemas was so drunk he missed, but he turned the pistol on himself and said, “This one is for me.” Casagemas died on February 17, 1901. After his friends’ death, Picasso reviled in the world his first and newest …show more content…
It seemed as if the thriving artist has an insatiable sex drive which in a strange way inspired a lot of his art. Picasso seemed to have an eye for young beautiful girls half his age, like Olga Khokhlova who was 17 when Picasso started to date her, Françoise Gilot who was 21 when he was 61, and even his last wife Jacqueline Roque who was 27 years old and Picasso 72. Françoise Gilot, Picassos last wife, seemed to be the one he was always liking for, their relationship lasted 11 years until the death of Picasso. Françoise Gilot was completely dedicated to Picasso and Picasso was dedicated to her. Françoise had such a strong bond with Picasso when he died she fell into a depression and four years following she commuted suicide because she could not image being apart from him any
History plays a very important role in the development of art and architecture. Over time people, events, and religion, have contributed to the evolution of art. Christianity has become a very common and well established religion, however, in the past it was hidden and a few people would worship this religion secretly. Gradually, Christianity became a growing religion and it attracted many converts from different social statuses. Christian art was highly influenced by the Greco-Romans, but it was immensely impacted by the establishment of the Edict of Milan in the year 313 AD. The Edict of Milan was so significant that scholars divide Christian art into two time periods, time before and after the Edict of Milan of 313.
Ultimately, it can be seen that all artists are influenced or incorporate issues and events of their time in their works, whether this is from the desire to portray Greek perfection to that of religious beliefs and the creation of the camera. To become renowned like Polykleitos, Michelangelo and Pablo Picasso, this statement must be followed.
In order to better hone his prodigious abilities, Picasso attended the Academy in Barcelona for a brief period of time. He spent most of his early years painting in Paris, where he progressed through various periods - including a Blue period from 1900 to 1904 and a Rose period in 1904 - before creating the Cubist movement that lasted until the beginning of the First World War.
Furthermore, resonation can be found in Preziosi exploration of the establishment of female identification through aesthetics. Within Preziosi chapter on aesthetics he addresses main issues including “Kant’s Critique of Judgment, judgment about beauty, and perception of perfection.” Aesthetics was addressed in the perception of how the female body is formed and encased while a male looks at the female body. In this case the male would be Degas gazing at his ballerina while either sketching his model or doing a sculpture of the ballerina. Preziosi states that “there should be two kinds of theory or sciences of knowledge corresponding to each logic and aesthetics.” This concept of two kinds of theory made more apparent as every sculptor Degas made is presented as a different theory, yet the two theories are different, Degas’s artwork deals with both logic and aesthetics. Logic can be applied to Degas’s____, works of art. Where as aesthetics deals with____. Later on in Preziosi chapter on aesthetics, he brings up the issue of “the idea that sensory knowledge could have its own perfection-and, further, that an aesthetic judgment about beauty or beautiful objects.” When viewing Degas’s sculptor the
Edgar Degas’ mind was unique and creative, producing some of the most famous works of the Impressionist period. Although his works were incredibly beautiful and had what could have been positive subject matter, his works often appear eerie and mysterious. This is due to Degas’ inner thoughts and feelings. Beginning with his mother’s death at age 13, Degas never became attached to a woman during his lifetime. This caused him to not only feel aggressive toward women, but also that he could look down upon them and his inferiors. Conflicting thoughts of aggression and admiration filled the mind of Degas, and is seen throughout his body of works. His work appears the way it does to the viewer due to Degas’ inner thoughts, which were not always positive. This allows his works to differ from other artists of the period.
The Blue Period has been named after the color in which Picasso focused on for this time. From 1901-1904 his paintings had the same downhearted variety. During this period one of Picasso’s close friends committed suicide, Carlos Casagemas. The affects of his loss are truly shown during this period through his paintings. (Carsten, Walther and Gmbh) . One of
Pablo Picasso was fostered for creation, his love for the work he did and for the people he shared it with led him to be the most dominant artist of the 20th century. The foundation for Picasso’s successful life was set early on. He was brought into this world by mother, Maria Picasso Lopez (Bernadac and Bouchet 18), and father, Don Jose Ruiz Blasco (Cabanne 1), on October 25th in 1881, at 11:15 p.m. (Bernadac and Bouchet 17). It was a difficult birth and Pablo was a weak baby, so weak the midwife believed he was a stillborn (Pablo Picasso Biography 8). It was his uncle who realized he was alive, he blew cigar smoke in Pablo’s face to see if the baby would react; when he scowled they all knew Pablo was alive (Pablo Picasso Biography 8). Pablo
One of his most famous paintings was “Guernica”. This giant mural represented the bombings that nearly wiped out a town during the Spanish Civil War. It was recognized as the most influential anti-war piece of artwork of the modern art world. The famous words of Picasso once stated, “I stand for life against death, I stand for peace against war.” (Artfonica 3) After his ‘Guernica’ mural was seen by others as a symbol against fascism, totalitarianism, and armed conflict, he created the ‘Dove of Peace’. Picasso’s Dove of Peace was created for the first international peace conference in Paris. This piece was used all around the world to represent the freedoms people should and still have. Many people couldn’t understand how an artist can change communities and even government’s beliefs by just putting some paint on a canvas. Picasso felt very strongly about politics, “What do you think an artist is? He is a political being, constantly aware of the heartbreaking, passionate, or delightful things in the world, shaping himself completely in their image.” (Champion 7) The ‘Dove of Peace’ was used to promote peace treaties not only in Spain and Paris but around the world. Picasso proved that art can change people's lives and influence peace
