A native citizen of Spain and a recognized king of bohemian Paris, Pablo Picasso was a bright example of versatile talent and fantastic commitment to his lifework. He continuously tried new styles and forms, looked for new color compositions, used unusual materials, and, when two-dimensional images started to seem him boring, founded cubism to give them a new dimension.

However, very frequently one allegedly insignificant detail is not taken into account: in particular, the spectrum of skills, on which the main emphasis is made.

Introduction:

Through analysis of the influence of African art on modern western artists it is evident that during the early to mid twentieth century there was a large influx in art that utilized African styles. This occurred due to the influences that certain artists had from their travels to remote locations and the encounters that they had with the cultures there. The unique and often appealing aesthetics that they encountered caused them to reconsider the underlying particularities of African art. In doing so, they would inevitably co-opt these artistic styles into their own western traditions in order to develop wholly ...

PART 1: ART AND ARCHITECTURE THEME REFLECTION

Part 1: Thinking Through Theme and Image

Duality and conflict—and associated themes of war and strife—are common themes because they are universal in many ...

- Art is not empty. Art is a matter, a substance; it is a Concept, it is an Argument. Picasso said “painting is not interior decoration. It is an instrument of war for attack and defense against the enemy” (Boeck & Sabartés 1955, p.505), and rightly so. Picasso explains that Art has a purpose, specifically a voice of defiance and logic. But to hang it up as a one-dimensional item hollows the function of artmaking. I know art has the power to influence our thoughts and our actions because Art is conceived from an idea. And that idea could not be defined in ...

Chuck Close’s “Frank”: Everyman as Art

The late author Douglas Adams said that art is holding a mirror up to the Universe – although he then pointed out that there was not a mirror big enough, since the Universe was infinite in size. So what’s an artist to do? American artist Chuck Close brings that mirror down to size by making his subject huge.

Close shows that the everyman is just as valid a subject for art than classical themes or the upper class. It has only been very recently ...
