life. In 1900, as a young artist Picasso lived on and off in France and Spain in the span of three years, during this time he live like most artist, in poverty. This is one of the saddest moment in his professional and personal life his friend Carlos Casagemas committed suicide, the critics called this period the Blue Period where he painted exclusively in shades of blue and blue-green, there would be an occasional warm color to contrast the paintings. During this time Picasso had to deal with the struggle of poverty and the death of his beloved friend, but he did something productive in his time of disparity he paint The Old Guitarist and the Blue Nude which are the two most famous panting form this time period. In 1904 Picasso met his Mistress Fer /nande Olivier, she was a bohemian artist. Fernande later appeared in many of Picasso’s painting, this was a better time in his life with the influence coming from the worth of his relationship with Olivier. With this new relationship in comes new prosperity, he increased his exposure to French painting and became an American favorite for art collector in 1905, Gertrude Stein, one of the art collector that he’s famous among principal patron, which improved his finical situation. His relationship affected his style, with him being happier, between 1904-1906 he used more cheerful colors in his painting such as orange and pink colors, also it had more of a comedic aspect to it, he would feature circus people and acrobats in checker pattern clothing. One of his most seminal moments was what he found in Paul Cezanne work one year after Cezanne death, at his retrospective, Picasso discovered how to distill the essential from nature in order to attain unified that expressed the artist singular vision. Around the same time Picasso and a couple of his fellow artist started to blending the stylized treatment of human in African sculptures with painting styles that derived from the post work of Cezanne. From 1907-1909 Picasso entered into his African period. Picasso masterpiece, Les Demoiselles d’Avignon this was the piece that brought the art world down to its knees, as if the art world had collapsed.
This piece was known for the abandonment of form and representation. It is the most innovative painting in modern art history. With this new style of painting Picasso finally found freedom, instead of using the current and classical art form, Picasso has made is on path to follow. This is the foundation for what to come known as the Cubist period.
Picasso worked with Geroges Barque, around 1910 to challenge the ideal of orthodoxy of illusionistic space in painting by experimenting with different types of representations. With this came the most influential visual art style of the 20th century known as cubism. The Ideal that art should not copy nature, convincing three-dimensional illustrations of space, challenging viewer to understand the broken down components of geometrics. Wanting to emphasize the two-dimension of the canvas. After his cubism Picasso went on flourish on his own path as an artist and paint thousands and thousands of
paintings. Pablo Picasso net worth at the time of his death was about $100-250 million dollars. His estate consisted of more than 45,0000 painting, sculptures, ceramic objects and sketches. He owned three villas along the French Riviera. Picasso was a successful artist so that’s how he accumulated all the wealth from his work. He died in 1974 of a heart attack, he left behind 4 kids and a widow wife, a massive estate and no will. Picasso had no estate planning what so ever, in addition to not having a will he left behind a huge tax for his estate. With no will everyone wanted a piece of Picasso pie. Picasso was also known not to be the world’s best father, he was abusive towards one of his sons and ignored two children he fathered with one of his mistress. The family fought over the estate for 6 years from 1973 to 1979 and cost roughly $30 million dollars in legal fees to settle. The battle didn’t stop when they settled the estate it continued on with the kids and grandkids over the rights to use his name. Some of his art work was given to the government in exchange for the estate taxes at the end as well. What Picasso first mistake was he had no will or trust for all that matter. He had multiple children with three different women and he really didn’t even like three of his four kids. The least he could have done was written a will and just write the kids he didn’t like out of it so they would not be able to go after his estate after he died. After the will, I would suggest him giving his wife $5.45 million, then create a non-revocable trust and start putting his art in it and out of his estate, put his villas in them as well to reduce his estate. Start giving his art to museums. Make sure that the rights to his name will remain family by putting that in the trust as well. If not a non-revocable trust, he could use a Q-tip trust that way everything will stay within the family or given to the right people while reducing his estate tax or could even eliminate them. We could also establish a generation skipping trusts as well. Even though he did not lived in the United states this is what he could have done if he lived in the United States, Picasso actually never step foot on US soil even though some of his earliest fans of his work were American collectors. In conclusion, whomever helped him with his finances did a horrible job if he had any help because he did not even leave behind a will the most basic thing to leave behind, but a will isn’t good enough anymore because of the whole probate process, that’s why I suggest having a trust, and giving his art to museums or charity. Instead he left behind a bill for his estate and a family fighting for his fortune. The father of modern art started out as a poor artist, died a successful renowned artist that is appreciated and studied till this day.
Claude Monet played an essential role in a development of Impressionism. He created many paintings by capturing powerful art from the world around him. He was born on November 14, 1840, in Paris, France. Later, his family moved to Le Havre, Normandy, France because of his father’s business. Claude Monet did drawings of the nature of Normandy and time spent along the beaches and noticing the nature. As a child, his father had always wanted him to go into the family grocery business, but he was interested in becoming an artist. He was known by people for his charcoal caricatures, this way he made money by selling them by the age of 15. Moreover, Claude went to take drawing lessons with a local artist, but his career in painting had not begun yet. He met artist Eugène Boudin, who became his teacher and taught him to use oil paints. Claude Monet
Juan Gris, a Spanish-born painter, made important contributions to the modern style of painting called Cubism. GrisÕs paintings were always depicting his immediate surroundings. He painted still lives composed of simple, everyday objects, portraits of friends, and occasionally landscapes or cityscapes. The objects in his paintings and collages are more clearly defined and richly colored than those in the works of the earlier cubists Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque.
Both of the artists used two different type of art in there art work Eugene used realistic style and Picasso used Cubism. The definition for realistic style is an attempt to make art and literature resemble life. Realist painters and writers take their subjects from the world around them and try to represent them in a lifelike manner. Picasso was one of the arts who kind a invented cubism, cubism means a perspective with a single viewpoint was abandoned and use was made of simple geometric shapes, interlocking planes, and later,
I put him down on my timeline because I believed he was a very talented and morally righteous person, his work is very eye catching and interesting. Pablo Picasso lived a very long life, died at the age of 92. His artwork still lives on today, one of my favorite piece from Picasso is Les Desnoiselles d’Avignon. It is an oil canvas of five nude women prostitutes of Spanish century. Les Desoiselles d’Avignon also was the beginning of a new style known as Cubism. Cubism was an experimental art movement that changed the face of European painting and sculpture. The body of work that Picasso created throughout his lifetime is enormous, his works continue to invite and attract thousands of
Pablo Picasso is one of the most famous and well-documented artists of the twentieth century. Picasso, unlike most painters, is even more special because he did not confine himself to canvas, but also produced sculpture, poetry, and ceramics in profusion. Although much is known about this genius, there is still a lust after more knowledge concerning Picasso, his life and the creative forces that motivated him. This information can be obtained only through a careful study of the events that played out during his lifetime and the ways in which they manifested themselves in his creations (Penrose).
Pablo Picasso is well renowned as an artist who adapted his style based on the changing currents of the artistic world. He worked in a variety of styles in an effort to continually experiment with the effects and methods of painting. This experimentation led him to the realm of cubism where Picasso worked on creating forms out of various shapes. We are introduced to Picasso’s nonrepresentational art through the advent of the cubist style of painting. During his time working on this style, Picasso developed the painting Woman in the Studio. A painting created late in Picasso’s artistic career, this painting displays many of the characteristics common in cubism. The painting’s title serves as a description of the painting and explains the scenario depicted by Pablo Picasso. In analyzing this work, it is important to observe the subject matter, understand the formal elements of the painting, and attempt to evoke and comprehend the emotions represented in the painting. Woman in the Studio is a painting of cubist origin that combines the standard elements of cubism in order to produce a monochromatic depiction of a woman associated with Picasso.
Diego Rivera was deemed the finest Mexican painter of the twentieth century; he had a huge influence in art worldwide. Rivera wanted to form his own painting fashion. Although he encountered the works of great masters like Gauguin, Renoir, and Matisse, he was still in search of a new form of painting to call his own (Tibol, 1983). His desire was to be capable of reaching a wide audience and express the difficulties of his generation at the same time, and that is exactly what h...
Pablo Picasso is the worlds most renowned artist of the 20th century. He did a variety of skills related to the world of art. Most people remember him as just a painter, but he was more than that. He could do sculpting, drawing, engraving, lithographs, and more. One of his most famous periods of all time, The Blue Period showed all that he was capable of.

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
Imagine pondering into a reconstruction of reality through only the visual sense. Without tasting, smelling, touching, or hearing, it may be hard to find oneself in an alternate universe through a piece of art work, which was the artist’s intended purpose. The eyes serve a much higher purpose than to view an object, the absorptions of electromagnetic waves allows for one to endeavor on a journey and enter a world of no limitation. During the 15th century, specifically the Early Renaissance, Flemish altarpieces swept Europe with their strong attention to details. Works of altarpieces were able to encompass significant details that the audience may typically only pay a cursory glance. The size of altarpieces was its most obvious feat but also its most important. Artists, such as Jan van Eyck, Melchior Broederlam, and Robert Campin, contributed to the vast growth of the Early Renaissance by enhancing visual effects with the use of pious symbols. Jan van Eyck embodied the “rebirth” later labeled as the Renaissance by employing his method of oils at such a level that he was once credited for being the inventor of oil painting. Although van Eyck, Broederlam, and Campin each contributed to the rise of the Early Renaissance, van Eyck’s altarpiece Adoration of the Mystic Lamb epitomized the artworks produced during this time period by vividly incorporating symbols to reconstruct the teachings of Christianity.

In 1907, Picasso created a new type of art, Cubism. For those who don’t know what cubism is, it captured and exaggerated certain features of a subject. “Cubism is renowned as a groundbreaking artistic movement in and of its own right, yet it also influenced generations of artists to follow, shaping the very history of art.” (Unknown 6) This technique changed art all around the world. It helped people express more depths within a painting. To this day, artists look at Picasso’s pieces for inspiration.“There had been no prior artist to Picasso, who had such an impact on the art world, or had a mass following of fans and critics alike, as he did.” (McConell

Cézanne, African tribal art and Iberian sculpture would be the inspiration the painter when it turned to Cubism. (Picasso, P. (1970) With the Demoiselles d 'Avignon that this new style explodes in 1907. That same year, he met Georges Braque with whom he develops the power of Cubism. The two work closely together. To address the problem of representing what exists in three dimensions on a two dimensional surface, Braque and Picasso bring a new answer. They replace the usual codes of color, volume and perspective through a system of geometric signs. They will add to it, in a subsequent phase (synthetic cubism), the use of pieces of various materials (sand, paper, metal, wood, fabric, cardboard ...) to avoid falling into abstract art. Picasso abandons Cubism in 1915. (p25) It had been demonstrated that his work had given a big importance in our current historical events and how it was also given a big importance in his times such as in the support of the cubism
