Earth and Art

---

This artwork is in the New York Museum of Modern Art now. It is part of series painted while was with his young family in the Fontaineblueau in the summer of 1921. Three Musicians is a large painting measuring more than 2 meters wide and high.

It is painted after the suicide death of Picasso’s close friend, Casagemas in 1903. This work was created in Madrid, and the distorted style is reminiscent of the works of El Greco.

Seated Woman is painted at the start of an amazingly prolific year, in which Picasso produced many powerful creations, including Guernica (1937). Pablo Picasso again returns to his technique of red and green polarisation to add a further dimension of animation.

This paintings was painted in 1907 and it was called the most innovative painting since the work of Giotto. The reductionism and contortion of space in the painiting was incredible, and dislocation of faces explosive.

It is a 1932 oil painting. He is portraying his 24-year-old mistress Marie-Thérèse Walter in this artwork. It belongs to Pablo Picasso’s period of distorted depictions, with its oversimplified outlines and contrasted colors resembling early Fauvism.

This painting was painted in March 1932. The young girl was named Marie Therese Walter and was painted multiple times during the 1930’s by Picasso.

This masterpiece is created in the early months of 1932. Marie-Therese Walter is model again. The painting was sold for a price of $106.5 million which was a world record in 2010.

This masterpiece is one of the Picasso’s early works. It was created in 1902 at a time when Pablo Picasso was still mourning over a friend’s tragic death.

Dora Maar au Chat was painted in 1941. It is one of Picasso’s most valued depictions of his lover and artistic companion. The painting is also remarkable for its brilliance of colour and the complex and dense patterning of the model’s dress.

Model is again Marie-Therese Walter. Painted in 1932. We see her asleep, her body resting between the two powerful polarized color blocks of red and green. It is a really weird combination of beauty and ugliness, another theme that continually fascinated Picasso.

"Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life" - Pablo Picasso

Life, a word that is describing itself; a concept that no one can ever give its truest meaning and what is its purpose; a process that no one can ever escape from; and a gift that everyone can be grateful with. Humans are alike. We live and we die. We are born to experience this what we called LIFE. But, nobody lives it dull and for what reason involves the earth and art.

Imagine the Earth without Art, would it be the same as now or would it be less a day with no joviality? It's the latter, right? Indeed, earth and art is one. We could not be able to grasp happiness if we are living life that art is non existent. It would be meaningless for us to wake up and find that we cannot work out our God-given talents. And, our growth towards our passion would only be listless.

The quote above from a famous artist, Pablo Picasso, tells us simply that one can separate his self from his phlegmatic life by giving away a piece of his aesthetic soul. Picasso is a painter, sculptor, draughtsman, print maker, decorative artist and writer that influenced many and left a tremendous impact to artists of today. He believed that making art is just as stating the truth. It is one of the best ways of showing emotions and engender our realizations into something worth living for.

However, in every creation there is destruction and that destruction is a form of a new creation. What begins must end. People is the living truth that even death can be beautiful, and as we die, we are becoming a part of the earth. Our remains and pieces of our memories will be left but still, the pulchritude continues. Some things will be destroyed again, nevertheless, that is just a cycle. Nature eventually find its way.

Art brings beauty to our senses and freedom to our consciences. It needs to be appreciated more in the society. Unfed minds devour itself and the broken demand answers to confusions. We could really not fathom what is beyond our abilities, and the possibilities that we ought to do. But what can we do for a start is to embrace the reality with an immense delight in art. In return, we might be surprised for what life has to offer. After all, the word“earth”without “art”would be just “eh.”
