Picasso

This image here is a prime example of Cubism. Here Picasso has builded the face up of shapes. This allows a different way of visualising a face.
Here Picasso is demonstrating the different angles and sides to a person all from the front view. This then creates an interesting and
an unusual face that we are not used to seeing.
 
 
IDEA 1
 
 
This idea is influenced by Picasso's idea of showing all the sides of one person in one image. He quite litrally shows all te angles from the front view. I decided to use the idea of this but showing it through taking 5 photos of a friend and writing their feeling undernieth the photograph of them aswell as their facial expressions telling the story too. I could display these as large photos on one wall.


 Pablo Picasso 25 October 1881 – 8 April 1973), was a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist, and stage designer who spent most of his adult life in France. As one of the greatest and most influential artists of the 20th century, he is widely known for co-founding the Cubist movement, the invention of constructed sculpture, the co-invention of collage, and for the wide variety of styles that he helped develop and explore. Among his most famous works are the proto-Cubist Les Demoiselles d'Avignon (1907), and Guernica (1937), a portrayal of the German bombing of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War.
Picasso, Henri Matisse and Marcel Duchamp are commonly regarded as the three artists who most defined the revolutionary developments in the plastic arts in the opening decades of the 20th century, responsible for significant developments in painting, sculpture, printmaking and ceramics.
Picasso demonstrated extraordinary artistic talent in his early years, painting in a realistic manner through his childhood and adolescence. During the first decade of the 20th century, his style changed as he experimented with different theories, techniques, and ideas. His revolutionary artistic accomplishments brought him universal renown and immense fortune, making him one of the best-known figures in 20th-century art.
