Chapter 21

Pablo Picasso has always caught my eyes his painting are just beautiful because they are so calming and inspiring. Pablo Picasso was born in a Spanish city called Malaga. He attended art schools in Barcelona and Madrid so he does have alot of experince with painting. I like how his paintings were concentrated on images that were poverty and emotional depression because thats how they were calming. His painting that I like is called Self portrait with Palette made in 1906 and its also an oil canvas which is stored in the Philadelphia Museum of Art.


Georges Braque was also a wonderful artist that also is similar to Pablo Picasso because their drawinging just look the same and very calming. the paiting that I like is called The Emigrant its also oil on canvas. It has circles and lines all over and has letters on the top and the colors are brown, beige, and light green.

Chapter 3

One of my all time favorite artists is Frida Kahlo. She is a mexican painter who does not provide us with easy way into her thoughts.  She began to paint while recovering from a streetcar accident that left her body shattered and unable to bear children. She would go through periods of pain fro the rest of her life and undergo dozens of operations. Her first  painting was a self portait. in this painting it has her wearing a mexican dress and her 4 pet monkeys. It show that her monkeys are both protective and possessive in their gertures. She quotes " I never painted dreams," " I painted my own reality".






Another great artist is Pat Steir. people might think his painting is bland but I think its pretty. Its 9 feet in height and 11 feet wide. the painting is called Summer Moon. It has a very calming background and it evokes suddenness and suprise followed by echoes and fadings. These two artist's are similar because they draw to what comes in mind and nbot planned.
