Pablo Picasso
“Everyone wants to understand art. Why don’t we try to understand the song of a bird? Why do we love the night, the flowers, everything around us, without trying to understand them? But in the case of a painting, people think they have to understand. If only they would realize above all that an artist works of necessity, that he himself is only an insignificant part of the world, and that no more importance should be attached to him than to plenty of other things which please us in the world though we can’t explain them; people who try to explain pictures are usually barking up the wrong tree.” - Picasso
So we know Mr. Picasso was
the inventor of cubism,
but how and why did he do it?
Cubism is....
a style of art that stresses abstract structure at the expense of other pictorial elements especially by displaying several aspects of the same object simultaneously and by fragmenting the form of depicted objects
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
Put simply cubism is where you abstract your picture by focusing on geometric structures, and showing your image from several vantage points.
Picasso creates several styles within his cubism period
some of his cubist paintings focus on vantage points,
while others focus more on breaking up realistic space
into a geometric field.
We are going to create
an original cubist artwork.
Much like Picasso we are going to use more than one medium on our artwork. This means we are creating a mixed media work of art.
To make a truly cubist work of art you
to stop thinking in terms of realism.
Essence is the attribute or set of attributes that make an object or substance what it fundamentally is, and which it has by necessity, and without which it loses its identity
