Cubism, Pablo Picasso and women

Cubism is a art movement pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque.
Cubism want to express 3 dimensions in the plane.
It means the objects are changed into geomatric form so the original shape isn't important.
In this posting, we look into the Cubism, especially Picasso.





Les Demoiselles d'Avignon is Pablo's early painting.
In this painting, we can see the neglected perspective and emphasized line.
The eyes are not same. Several eyes are in this painting.
In this way pablo gain third dimentions.
Also we can see the unique face that lack expressions though they are hooker.
This face is from the ancient times Ave Maria.
The right woman's face looks like mask. At that time, Africa culture spreads to Europe.

Interestingly, Picasso has many woman and they affect him about style,mood like that.
Marie and Dora is the representative case of it.
Marie was his fourth wife
Marie is very kind, mild, soft girl.
she is like docile sheep.

But picasso was slowly bored. In stead, at that time, Dora is up.
Dora is opposite woman.
She is strong and fairly and her occupation is photographer so her style is so clear.
Because of it, Picasso keeps relationship with Dora.

Dora is always jeolous Marie as Marie is still his wife.
so they often have troubles.
Marie has also hard time moreover she has a baby. 
Guernica maybe is most famous painting of his.
We have known it is about Spain war.
Sure that's right. but another meaning is contained.
Marie and Dora's story is reflected in this painting.
First, on the left part, a woman who has a baby in her hand is Marie
She just cry...
and , on the rignt part, a woman who fetchs a scream raising 2 arms is Dora.
She breaks down.

Pablo Picasso is great artist.
He is important person who affects the art history.
but, sometimes more light view is fun to appreciate his painting
