Colorless Panorama Widens Vistas of Picasso
‘Picasso Black and White’ at the Guggenheim Museum Happily the exhibition, billed as the first monochromatic look at Picasso’s whole career, is much more than a clever conceit. It’s as eye-opening as it is elegant, especially among the later works on the upper ramps, which push well past the obligatory Neo-Classicism and Analytic Cubisminto bracingly sensual explorations of the figure, strident political cries de coeur à la Guernica, and winking homages to Delacroix and Velázquez.
Modern art is on the canvas, sculpture, print and all the new ways that we find today in twentieth century art and ours.
Very rarely art historians agree among themselves on this issue, especially with regard to time and place where modern art began.That's why the term generally refers to all art produced mainly in the United States and Europe during the nineteenth century.
It may also include a group of countries outside the above that, influenced by previous copies were also modern art. It was a time when artists introduced new materials, new techniques and new concepts. The intent of these artists was to break free from the shackles ofwhat became known as part of the "establishment". While they managed to redefine the boundaries of what art is.
Without doubt, the most innovative "inventions" of art in the twentieth century, were the concepts of cubism and abstraction. Pablo Picasso may be considered the most important artist of the twentieth century. His work was influential and he was the creator of Cubism.
Picasso was born inMalaga, Spain center. He was a child prodigy, while at the age of fourteen his ability to handle the art was incredible. In 1895 his father served as a professor of art at the Academy of Art Pictorial of Corunna. Picasso was admitted to the advanced classes very quickly, it only took a day to complete the entrance exam, which took others to a month to do acceptably.
Two years later, Paul beganstudying at the Academy of Madrid. But he withdrew from there and went home unsatisfied. Between 1900 and 1904, Picasso lived between Paris and La Coruña, but after about four years of back and forth to Paris, chose to move to that city. In Paris, Picasso would live most of his life.

Towards the end of 1905, Picasso's work had some changes in his style. There was a significant shrinkage in everything related to theemotional content in his paintings: the melancholy of the outcasts were replaced by reason. That's when Picasso sculpture is interested in the Iberian Peninsula at the time. The fascination that causes Iberian sculpture is reflected in his interest in simplification and geometric shapes.
