Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881-1973): Nature wild, domesticated, and transformed
|
|
|
Picasso was a wildly inventive artist who periodically returned from whatever voyage he was undertaking to rest, refresh himself with the familiar—classically-drawn people, bullfights, dances, animals, birds, insects, flowers, the artist and his model, love and lust—before venturing out for further explorations,. Picasso helped invent the artistic vocabulary of Cubism, Surrealism, and Post-Modernism. Along with a few other artists—Matisse, Kandinsky, Braque, and Miró spring quickly to mind—he invented modernity in art for the twentieth century.
