Cubism


Cubism is an early-20-century-avant-garde art movements by Pablo Picasso, a modern approach to painting.


Picasso's aim was to influence other artists and painters, also to look at his work as a new way of art,

to look at it in a number of angles and ways.

Pablo Picasso had influence on the 20th century art and he also admired El Grecos works.


I have chosen Picassos's work because it's really interesting how he gets his ideas for his art work and paintings, it has so much meanings and so powerful yet it looks so simple, his techniques are incredible.

I would love to learn the techniques for his art work and make it as powerful as his.

Picassos' quotes:

''Actions is the foundational key to all success.''
