La boutielle de Suze

In the early 20th Century Pablo Picasso and George Braque started an avant-garde art movement that remodeled European paintings and sculpture, also it aspired movements in music literature and architecture. Cubism by some has been considered the most dominant art movement of the 20th century. The initial influence that led cubism was representation of three-dimensional form. In Cubist artwork objects are scrutinized Brocken up and rearranged in an abstract form, instead of showing an object from one view point the artist presents it from multiple view points to show the object in a broader context.

There are many art subjects that have represented the cubist art. One painting in particular by one of the founder’s Pablo Picasso himself La boutielle de Suze, is a key drawing of the cubist movement. In the painting Picasso used cut remnants of newspapers, wallpaper, construction paper along with gauche and charcoal to form a liquor bottle with a label, on the left of the bottle sits an ashtray with cigarette smoke. All the materials combined rests on a blue table facing a wall with diamond shaped wallpaper and newsprint. The painting along with many other’s like it is an embodiment of the idea behind the cubist art, with it’s 3-D like features and the reconstructions of object to show the viewer a bigger image. …show more content…

The newspaper clippings he chose where articles that referred to horrific events from the Balkan war with stories of Parisian flippancy. I believe that this was his way of involvement in the political and social issues of his time. The fragment forms of this painting, I think captured the conditions of his era, it’s vicissitude and the lack of meaningful perspective in a forever-changing

No one could look at Picasso’s large painting of 1907, Les Demoiselles Avignon (fig.1-13 in the book) and call it aesthetically beautiful, but it is for many people, one of his most aesthetically interesting works. Nearly, 8 feet square, it would come to be considered one of the most of the first major painting of the modern era and one of the least beautiful. The titled, chosen not by Picasso but by a close friend, literally mean “the young ladies of Avignon”, but it’s somewhat tongue-in-check reference is specifically to the prostitutes of Avignon Street, the red-light district of Barcelona, Spain, Picasso’s hometown. We know a great deal about Picasso’s process as he worked on the canvas from late 1906 into early summer months of 1907, not only because many of his working sketches survive but also because the canvas itself has been submitted to extensive examination, including x-ray analysis. This reveals early version of certain passages, particularly the figure at the left and two figures on the

This painting is an Oil on Canvas made in about 1718-19. This painting can be analyzed through contextual analysis. When I first saw the painting my first thought was that it was all about the architecture and daily lives of people but it actually has a story and I only know that because of the context given beside the picture in the museum. I could have never known from just looking that something was actually going on because everything is so far back in the

In paper 4, while I found my rhetorical analysis to be satisfactory the paper itself suffered from a myriad of careless mistakes and poor attention to audience. The largest detriment was the number of silly mistakes, most of which appeared in previous papers. Such as forgetting the rubric, and fragmented sentences. However, despite the careless mistakes, the writing related mistakes in my paper were less frequent.

After looking it into depth I started to realize this painting has a story behind it. For me this painting represents life as it is, from the origins to the very last moments of life. This piece of art represents the natures of the world by utilizing the waves of the ocean, the beautiful green trees, the bright sun and at the same time it intertwines aspects of human beings using the bone, heart and even our religious belief by including a cross in the bottom right of the unfinished blue triangle. What intrigued me the most was the sun with the skull in the middle, at that point is where I realized the meaning of the title of the art work. We love, we give, we die, this is the cycle of life and that’s what the painting is trying to depict.

By 1913, he was one of the leaders of the new artistic movements called cubism. Most of the previous forms of artwork before cubism expressed the world in a rather realistic way. The subjects of the piece of artwork, whether it was a person, an animal, or a bowl of fruit, were generally quite easy to recognize. Led by artists Pablo Picasso, George Braque, Diego Rivera and a number of other painters who worked in Paris in the early years of the twentieth century challenged all of that. Cubist painting often depicted common objects in exaggerated geometric form.

“In 1912, Cubism entered a new phase during which the style no longer relied on a decipherable relation to the visible world. In this new phase, called synthetic cubism, paintings and drawings were constructed from objects and shapes cut out from paper or other materials to represent parts of a subject” (de la Croix, Tansey, KirkPatrick 962).In Synthetic Cubism, it focused more on a collage type of style, and focused less on making objects appear realistic to that in real life but more of the whole object made from parts of different kinds of media. “The wonderful new possibilities offered by collage can be seen in Braques Fruit Dish and Cards, done in a variant of collage called papier colle, in which assorted paper shapes are glued to a drawing or painting” (delaCroix, Tansey, KirkPatrick 963). The way which Braque used different

The painting Les Demoiselles D Avignon by Picasso is considered one of the most important work that defined the era of Cubism in modern art. The central argument in my paper is to understand Les Demoiselles D Avignon as a revolutionary painting of Modern Art. One of the important aspects of Cubism is the wide influence of African art and masks, primitivism and African sculpture. The painting Les Demoiselles d Avignon by Picasso

Additionally this artwork showcases concepts that stems from cubism, surrealism and primitivism. Forms look flat and are cut presented geometrically, which make for an interesting composition in the scheme of the painting. It is also through these factors and the subjects that Picasso articulates his story. Briefly this artwork shows 2 fisherman, one holds a spear, and the other looks over the side of the boat and holds the spear with his foot.
