Challenging The Past ( 1881 - 1973 )
As one of the most recognized figures in the 20TH century art, Spanish born painter, sculptor and draftsman is best known for co-founding the Cubist Movement.
Pablo Picasso was a Bohemian artist who resided in Paris amongst and befriending other artists of his era, Henri Matisse being one of many, a friend and rival. :)
Pablo Picasso reflects his views of the Aristocratic Lifestyles by changing the master paintings of the past. He reflected wealth as a harsh, lifeless without color or enthusiasm; examples of this can be found in the contrasting reworking of ' Las Meninas by Velasquez ' at the prado. Extremely conflicting portrayal of the Stern inner stoneless emotions of Aristocracy
Pablo Picasso unlike many of his counterpart artists is not an easy character to depict, with a life full of complex issues often reflecting in his own unique studies.
Picasso knew he was going to leave a legacy of mystery. An example of how he viewed himself can be found in his participation of a film entitled ' Le Mystere' Picasso' or ' The Mystery of Picasso '.
A must see for those who like a challenge!
