Pablo Picasso - Pioneer of Cubism

Postage stamp, USSR, 1973. Picasso has been honored on stamps worldwide.

By Dorothy Gauvin

'There is no new thing under the sun.'
This was the decision of Ecclesiastes, described in the Bible as a Preacher and a son of David, who was the second Jewish king. By this reckoning, Ecclesiastes had a vast history of human works to draw on, in the order of three thousand years of Art-making.
So, it would be understandable if he could find no new thing in the world of his time. All things had already been thought and said, everything done and made. Perhaps this piece of writing, this story, told and retold down the centuries is the source of our modern obsession with novelty.

Interesting Facts About Pablo Picasso That You Never Knew!

Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, 1907

By Brent Tan

Baby Picasso was almost stillborn.
When Picasso was born, the midwife thought that he was stillborn and left him on the pediatrician table! However, the "miracle" occurred when midwife went to Picasso's mother to inform her of this sad news. Another amazing fact-Pablo's uncle was an attending physician and delivered the baby. Actually, Dr Don Salvador is widely credited with saving the life of baby Picasso.
Baby Picasso's First Spoke the Word 'Pencil'!
The early years of Picasso were filled with wonder and education! He first spoke the word "piz", which means pencil in English. This was maybe the clue about the future career path and occupation of young Picasso, and was a big and clear label on his back as a future artist.

Top 10 Most Famous Artists in History

Pablo Picasso, self portrait

By Parker Holden

No two people will agree on the top ten most famous and influential artists, since every person has his or her own view of what type of painting is the most articulate. Every art lover sees each painting in their own way, so that any list is purely subjective. Here is a compilation that will cover some of the most famous artists:
 

1. Pablo Picasso is widely accepted as the most influential artist of his time, with a unique style and an ambitious attitude. It is widely believed that he surpassed the masters who came before him, and he defined the concept of art as it would be known.
2. The "Mona Lisa" secured Leonardo da Vinci as the creator of the painting that is more well-known than any other. Others have often attempted to imitate his style and stroke, with no success. He was an artist and a humanist.
3. Vincent van Gogh is one of the most famous names in any study of art. He suffered a great deal in his life, and his paintings reflect the pain with their personal look. He was a great influence on the painters of the twentieth century.

Abstract Art Paintings: Style Without Definite Lines by Al Smitty

Dede Eri Supria

When it comes to a visual display of color, line, form, and overall composition, Abstract Art has a language all its own. The imagery included in Abstract Art paintings are often far fetched versions of reality. Sometimes they are paintings of things that only the artist is able to interpret. There are artists who are able to get their point across to the public, by painting in such a way that is appealing to just about anyone who views their work.
Various versions of abstract are included in the collection of paintings that fall under the title of Abstract Art. Partial abstraction is present in realistic art. These types of paintings are able to be understood by most people. There are shapes and designs that are recognizable to the general public. As for total abstraction, most of these paintings include images that don't bear a resemblance to anything anyone has ever come across before.

Abstract Painting

I Ketut Jaya

Abstract art uses a visual language of form, color and line to create a composition which may exist with a degree of independence from visual references in the world. Western art had been, from the Renaissance up to the middle of the 19th century, underpinned by the logic of perspective and an attempt to reproduce an illusion of visible reality.
The arts of cultures other than the European had become accessible and showed alternative ways of describing visual experience to the artist. By the end of the 19th century many artists felt a need to create a new kind of art which would encompass the fundamental changes taking place in technology, science and philosophy.
The sources from which individual artists drew their theoretical arguments were diverse, and reflected the social and intellectual preoccupations in all areas of Western culture at that time.

Street Painting, Another Way To Express Idea

2010 Sarasota Chalk Festival photo by Rod Millington

Street painting, also commonly known as pavement art, chalk art, sidewalk art, is the performance art of rendering artistic designs on pavement such as streets, sidewalks, and town squares with impermanent and semi-permanent materials.

Origin
Street painting has been recorded throughout Europe since the 16th century. Street Painters, a name these performance artists are most commonly called in the USA are historically called I Madonnari in Italy (singular form: madonnaro) because they recreated images of the Madonna. In England they are called Screevers and in Germany Strassenmaler.

The Italian I Madonnari were itinerant artists. Aware of festival and holy days in each province and town, they traveled to join in the festivities to make a living from observers who would throw coins if they approved of the artists work. For centuries I Madonnari were folk artists, reproducing simple images with crude materials such as tiles, coal and chalk until World War II disrupted their tradition and reduced their numbers.
