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. Its decorative shapes, colors, and stenciling are very appealing to me. When Picasso painted with the style cubism, he painted the world not from one angle, but from many different angles. Picasso’s artwork consisted of him breaking normal objects in to many different sized pieces. A piece like this not only illustrates how painters are influenced by music but also illustrates fragmentation,
