In class we went over Pablo Picasso and cubism. Sloane put up a slide with Picasso's "Three Musicians" as an example of cubism. I really liked that painting as soon as I saw. The thing that amazes me most about cubism is that everything is made from geometric shapes. It's hard to tell that people are in the painting from a first glance because all you see are squares and sharp lines, but when you actually look, it makes up people. I like cubism because it doesn't portray things realistically. It's almost like walking into a child's mind and seeing how they view the world. I think that Picasso had a great artistic point of view to be able to create this abstract form of art. Looking at Picasso today we remember him for his abstract style of painting, no one really ever looks back and says, "Man, that Picasso was really great at painting portraits!".
