Pablo Picasso


I chose this piece because Picasso’s pictures are different from other artists. Unlike other artists, he viewed and drew objects differently, like abstracted pictures. There are five nude women in this piece who were partially draped in white sheets, stared out of the painting at the on looker. Their bodies have been flattened, making them sharp and angular which looked kind of aggressive. Besides the two figures in the middle, their faces look as if they are hidden behind masks, having been disfigured by the bold blocks of color and shading. When I see this piece, its looks sharp and violent. But the flow of the white and blue material makes the scene feel a lot calmer. People may dislike when they see this picture but to me, it attracts attention.
