Hello my artful friends
The whole month of April we dedicate to one of the greatest artist of modern times, Pablo Picasso
It is his 45th death anniversary this month.
In the first week we studied his blue and rose period and this week we move to a later period the Cubism which he initiated together with fellow artist Georges Braques.
During this movement, the works produced by Picasso and Braque shared stylistic similarities.
Both Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque moved toward abstraction, leaving only enough signs of the real world to supply a tension between the reality outside the painting and the complicated meditations on visual language within the frame.
An important difference between Picasso and the cubist Mondrian was that Picasso never really gave up the third dimension. He played with dimensions, flirted with removing the third, but never became a pure abstract painter.
One of the most famous works of this period are the Demoiselle d'Avignon.
As usual we would love to see you contribute your examples in the comment section below and get featured by the end of the month in our summary post.
Until Then
Stay Creative!
Yours artfully
