...Guernica, 1937 by Pablo Picasso, mural-size oil painting on canvas is (11ft and 5in) in height, and (25ft and 6in) wide. I was unable to view this art in real time at the museum, so I had to do a virtual tour of the artwork. Its location is at “Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia” (www.museoreinasofia.es) Madrid, Spain. What I hope to accomplish by completing this analysis? I hope to gain a better understanding of Pablo Picasso, and his artwork. For decades, I was curious about what made this painting so famous. Was it the theme, style, or form? I wish to know by the end of this analysis. Why did Picasso create Guernica? What is the best way to protest against war? In 1937, Picasso was demonstrating his resentment against war with Guernica; his mural-size painting was an exhibit to millions of people at the Paris World’s Fair.

He wanted to create awareness of the war by raising funds for Spanish refugees. Reasons, he was terrified of the destruction and death. Guernica is his optical response, his memorial to the brutal...

...After my long research on twentieth century art, Picasso’s Art has caught my eye the most. Picasso's Three Musicians is by far my favorite piece by him http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Picasso_three_musicians_moma_2006.jpg This painting is considered to be Sythetic Cubist style because of the broken up and reassembled pieces to represent the subject in a greater text. What I mean in my terms is that the odd shapes are reassembled to still keep a clear image, in this case I mean the three men in the picture. The Three Muscians is a great example of Cubist style in the Twentieth century. Pablo Picasso was a spanish painter who spent most of his lifetime in France. He is known to this very day as the greatest and most influential artist of the 20th century. Picasso demonstrated artistic talent in his early years, painting realistic manner through his childhood experiences. Aside from the anti-war paintings that he created Picasso remained neutral during World War I, the Spanish Civil War, and World War II, refusing to join the armed forces for any side or country. Picasso's work is often categorized in periods, The Blue Period (1901-1904), The Rose Period (1905-1907), the African-Influenced Period (1908-1909), Analytic Cubism (1909-1912), and Synthetic Cubism (1912-1919). The Three Musicians is so unique and considered cubism because of its cut paper fragments from a newspaper or from wallpaper were pasted into compositions, creating the first use of collage in fine art. ...

...HUMANITIES 1 (RESEARCH PAPER) HISTORY OF PAINTINGS AND ARTISTS IN THE WORLD ADRIAN M SITCHON PROF. PEREZ 4TH YEAR/BS.HRM/NS (SUBMITTED BY) TABLE OF CONTENT INTRODUCTION HISTORY BODY * EASTERN PAINTING * WESTERN PAINTING * 20th-CENTURY MODERN * AND CONTEMPORARY DEFINITION OF TERMS * FAMOUS PAINTERS * AND BIOGRAPHY * Paintings of famous painters CONCLUSION RECOMMENDATION REFERENCE INTRODUCTION: Painting can be done in a variety of media. For example, Oils, Watercolour, Acrylics, Gouache and Tempera. Paints are made from a pigment, and a binder. Binder is relatively cheap, while pigment is much more expensive. Pigments are a colored powder, made from organic or inorganic materials. (This is different than a colorant, which dyes or stains a color.) All paints use the same basic pigments, but the binder changes. The binder for acrylics dries quickly and the paint is more like a plastic than oils which have an oil based binder and dry slowly. Oil Paints are often built up in layers or glazes. The other paints---Watercolour, Acrylics, Gouache, and Tempera---are water-based, meaning the paint can be diluted with water and clean-up can be done with soap and water. Oil paints, on the other hand, require paint thinner to clean brushes. The number and variety of painting techniques is endless. Besides quality of paint, factors affecting color quality include: paint opacity, glossiness of painting surface...

When faith started out back when racism was going on. She tried to get her biography published but since everyone denied her she put her story on a quilt and that’s how story quilting for her. My second art is Zaha Hadid. She’s an architect. A lot of her buildings are over the top. In some of her buildings, she wasn’t always able to do everything that she wanted because her ideas couldn’t be built. Her goal is to make things airy and with lots of outside light rather than being stuffed all in. My third artist is Pablo Picasso. I have always heard of him but I never seen any of his art. He had several different styles, and lots of his painting dealt with love. Picasso is significant to history because he is often compared to Michelangelo and he brought excitement to the art world with his versatility. Another artist I learned about was Romare Bearden. I really liked him because he was all for his people. He significant to history because he encouraged African America to go out and make art. Many of his paint were...

...When American schoolchildren are educated about Europe between the years 1936 through 1975, they are taught about the aftereffects of World War I and about World War II. Europe, in high school history classes, ceases to exist after 1945 and the close of World War II unless, of course, one is learning about the Cold War and the Berlin Wall may be mentioned. They do not learn, however, that World War II era Spain—because Spain was neither an ally or a foe during the war—went through enormous conflict of its own. The three-year Spanish Civil War and the fascist dictatorship that followed are largely kept out of the American history books. Yet, the world is privy to much of its legacy through literature, art, film, and personal memory. Spain certainly remembers three hellish years of war and thirty six years of repression under Generalisimo Fransisco Franco, but how is General Franco remembered by the rest of the world? What legacy did he leave internationally? 2 It is a confused and varied one: to those closest to him he was a husband, father, and statesman; to Hitler, he was an obstacle on the road to world domination; to the Jews who fled from Hitler he was a hero; but to the many Spanish minorities and to his opponents in the Spanish Civil War he was a monster. 3 The answers to the questions posed are addressed in a variety of sources. One of these sources is the book Hitler Stopped by Franco, by Jane and Burt Boyar, who write a relatively straightforward book that explores many...

How happiness is perceived among people today in various countries, cultures and religions. “Happiness is the meaning and purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence.” - Aristotle. Everyone has their own meaning to happiness in the way their emotions, goals and desires play out in their everyday lives. Some people may find happiness in music, friends and family gatherings.
