He lived from 1881 to 1973 and created many classic art pieces that have stayed in the public eye. Picasso made his name with a style of painting known as cubism which abstracts the visual features of its focus. This creates a perplexing effect which breaks away from the realism of older painters. What is very interesting for us in this style is the way Picasso used cubism to render themes of pain, sorrow, and monstrosity very clearly and effectively, which expands on our understanding of monstrosity. Picasso also paved the way for the surrealist movement where artists like Salvador Dali began to reinterpret the world and break into mystifying creations. I will be looking at the following paintings of Picasso: The Weeping Woman, Les Demoiselles d’Avignon, and finally Guernica.
