Vanguards: Cubism/ Pablo Picasso

in #steempress5 years ago (edited)

Cubism changed the image to a peak, it was a current that completely changed the perspective of observing life in a work of art, began in 1907 and gives the compositions a fractional vision and as its own name contemplates. It is achieved through the game of multiple perspectives and the concern of being able to see a thing, a landscape or a figure from different angles; The idea originated when the Spanish artist Picasso observed the masks of Iberian art, perceiving a charm and an unimaginable aesthetic at that time, moving from making academic paintings to the first production that would mark the beginning of this vanguard “Las Señoritas de Avignon”, time later he confess that it took him almost a lifetime to repaint as a child would, revealing a creative and innocent need to place the image, the colors and the elements of a composition that would demonstrate a harmony between them.

For Picasso, a precursor to the Cubist current along with his colleague Braque, he turned the art world around, gaining international fame for his eccentricities in paintings and collage that were astonishing for the context.

Now, let's talk about how Les Demoiselles d'Avignon generated such an impact on the eyes of those who appreciated it at the beginning. The image denotes the figures of five women who are increasingly deformed while looking from left to right built from geometric shapes something fundamental for the creation of this artistic current. The painting connotes prostitutes as the main image, which were easily found in a street in Barcelona that received this name, where brothels abounded; The focal point focuses mainly on the woman on the upper left side, lowering her gaze towards the one who squats in the lower area, both share another face where the influence of the African masks that opened a new perspective to Picasso can be appreciated, as expressed by Iborio, E. “Many want to see in the progressive deformity of women from left to right a clear warning about the dangers of venereal diseases, a problem that affected a good number of members of the Parisian artistic community of the time ”, It is interesting to observe it from this point of view, the woman in the upper corner is treated under shades of greenness that not only represents fertility and tranquility psychologically but also, under the nuances of other shades such as brown or yellow changes A little more negative idea like poison or bitterness. These women were stripped of any beauty canon of the time, and the theme that can hit the moral part, was a reality of which many men were participants. Clearly, this work of art moved many hearts and thoughts, because it opened the way to the experimentation of the figure, breaking paradigms of previous centuries and allowing new creators a freedom that they were not able to feel before.

Some years later he was hired in Spain to represent the brutal image that would be part of the hearts of each one of the inhabitants of the country the mural of La Guernica in 1937, the image is divided into different points of view where geometric quality and drama from a rather delicate issue, they result in the power to feel the chaos and sadness that overwhelmed those affected by the bombing of the Germans over the people of the Guernica during the Spanish civil war.over the people of Guernica during the Spanish civil war.

On the left side a bull can be denoted as a symbol of Spain, under which a crying mother carries her dead son in her arms, the visual path follows a man on the ground, an exalted horse and an eye on his head, which highlights the look of the man on the situation with the iris similar to a light bulb giving light as if it were the sun, to the right a hand comes out of a kind of window with an oil lamp, the candle is lit, peeking out next to it bewildered face, under the face a woman crawls, emphasizing her deformed leg, ending in the upper corner with what appears to be a burning building anda man screaming for help. The use of different scales with the representation of the geometry within the figures and the irregularity of the composition lead to a simplicity of the line and the drawing granting the ability to receive a clear and concise message.
