Since the beginning Picasso's been destined for greatness. His ambition and talent has paved the world with his masterful art. When he was a kid his mom would always influence him with words telling him if he entered the army, he would be a general, if he became a monk he would become a pope. In his early childhood he was intrigued with art and drawing. Myth is that Pablo's first word was ‘piz’ an attempt to say lapiz which translates to pencil in the english language. At a young age Picasso's dad was teaching him how to draw and paint efficiently, pretty soon his work surpassed that of his father's. Picasso would draw all day at anytime, he would often get in trouble in school to purposely get sent to a room where he was isolated and …show more content…

He applied to the School Of Fine arts at just 14 where the school would accept seniors or a little after that age, but Pablo being 14, completed the admission that would take usually a month for the average student, within a day. Picasso did not last there that long, for his skill was to great even for the School of Fine Arts. He eventually began skipping class there to roam the streets of Barcelona to sketch and draw statutes, structures or whatever caught his eye. After this period when Pablo turned 16 in 1897, he then moved to Madrid to attend the Royal Academy of San Fernando. Here however, things were not so …show more content…

During the ages of 1901 to 1904, Picasso entered a stage where people eventually ended up to call the “blue period”. The art of this time period would be influenced by a tragic event that occurred in Picasso's personal life, the death of a close friend known as Carlos Casagemas. This would impact Pablo's life and art heavily. Picasso art work would consistently contain different shades of blue that would amplify the sadness and distress of his paintings. During this time some of his famous paintings included “The Old Guitarist”, “La Vie”, and “Blue Nude”. Picasso then found a helping hand to pull him out his sad, dark abyss. He fell madly in love with a woman named Fernande Olivier. This got him to shift over to a different period known as the “rose period”. During this time he used colors that gave warmth and joy to his art, such as shades of pink and red. Best known paintings in this time were “Gertrude Stein” and “Two

Picasso was exiting his Blue Period and entering into the Rose Period of his art. (Pablo Picasso’s Rose Period). Martin purposely picked this time period in order to create a multitude of clever jokes hidden within the text as commentaries on the period. For instance, Picasso is talking about a vision of his art and “leaving blue behind”, after which he orders a Rose to drink. This is yet another example of the wondrous mind Martin possesses, to make such an intelligent joke so subtly takes an advanced comedic mind.

Picasso has strongly focused to give a political statement in his painting, it gives the viewers a message that killing of innocent people, violence, unrest in the region, bombing and the overall destruction is of no use to humanity and it only gives harm and pain. He is trying to tell the people that peace and harmony is the only solution that would benefit the world. Though the painting Guernica was painted by Picasso as a reply to the bombings and unrest in Spain by the German and Italian forces in Spanish civil war, the painting has not only created its affect for the Guernica of that time but also it has left a message and meaning for us and years to come. The unrest in many conflicted regions today, like what happened in the Arab spring

Blue represents sadness and green means hope. But there are also East Egg and West Egg, which represent the old and new money, respectively, and the aforementioned eyes of T.J. Eckleburg, a symbol for god, and for society’s lack of morals. And how does all of this relate to Picasso? Well, as Robert Hughes explains in his article The artist Pablo Picasso, “The so-called Blue and Rose periods [...] are not, despite their great popularity, much more than pendants to late 19th century Symbolism”.

Coincidentally, when I discovered Kahlo, my parents were divorcing and I was heartbroken. I chose to analyze Las Dos Fridas (The Two Fridas) because I saw how divorce can truly destroy a person. Las Dos Fridas was Kahlo’s largest painting and was completed in 1939 after her divorce from the famous Mexican muralist, Diego Rivera. “It’s a portrait of love, heart-break and duality” (kahlo.org).

If I were asked to describe this painting, I would say Picasso took all the grief, anger, and emptiness he probably felt and painted it, in all its chaos. There is no color, just shades of white, black and gray. Picasso 's other works are brilliant and colorful, like other paintings of the time. The faces are distorted and despondent. I believe the abstract nature of Cubism is well suited to depict his grief because the emotions can be exaggerated and distorted.

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.

His outcry for peace was expressed in large-scale painting Guernica (1937), created after the German bombing of this Spanish city. This powerful composition, showing the brutal inhumanity of war, became his most famous work and turned him into a political celebrity. In 1940 Picasso applied for French citizenship, but was denied it, and remained Spanish. Protected by his fame, he was untouchable even to the Nazis in the occupied Paris.

Both De Beauvoir and Picasso had started their work after wars; she wrote the second sex after the French revolution as Picasso drew some of his paintings after the Spanish civil war. Their work depended on how they were influenced by the results of the war. De Beauvoir believed that war was a main reason which reinforces inferiority of women.

A friend had taken his life in the city, so as the artist returned, he focused on what he referred to as the ‘real Paris.’ With this new perspective, he drew subjects that resided in places such as psychiatric hospitals and homeless shelters. This period of Picasso’s paintings is accurately called the ‘Blue Period’ because of the content of his work and that they are in many different shades and hues of the color itself. Sandra explained that this is when Picasso really began to gain popularity with the upper class because it was so different from the “cupcake and happy” paintings of Monet, Renoir, and other impressionist painters. Sandra also emphasized that Picasso “captured the psychology of the character in the painting” rather than just having a painting of the form, he was able to portray what was happening
