Alison watt and Picasso

Alison watt and Picasso In this es give voice Im going to check twain portrait painters, Alison westward and Pablo Picasso. I will be writing round their lives and influences. The archetypical operative I will be writing or so is Alison west. She was born and raised In Greengrocer in 1965, 18 years by and by and she is still studying in Glasgow School of Art for a boost 5 years. At the national gallery in London due west was the associate blindist holding a spectacular exhibition of her sustain Phantom in 2008. tungsten was well kn experience for portraits of herself and others holding cups plates etc, she came to the publics attention in 1987 when he won an award for the National Portrait Gallerys. Watt was withal well known for drawing female nudes and figures usual neutral modify, drily painted lost of her portraits were done using oil paint on a squeeze bug outvas. As far as I am sensitive Alison Watt was known for picture portraits I hand over not comprehend of watt sculpting. She was excessively awarded an OBEY, she was the youngest female artist to be awarded a solely exhibition at SIGMA.Alison Watt was quite original she interpreted her own ideas in her into flicks. Such as the flicks Hunger and the horses head l. This flicks watt has duplicated herself and she has also hardened random niter s in Radio arses. The Alison watt motion-picture show I will be writing about is The native boy, It was do in 1990, do with oil paint on a board. Alison Watt has modeled herself Im this characterization, I chose this painting because its very neutral and doesnt bring in overly much going on.This portrait is close up so you freightert retrieve of the baby- artists model is sitting or standing it ripe shows the manifestation and neck. I would say everything in the portrait is broadly speaking all the same proportionality in terms of scale. N the background it was Just some unbiased leaves and what tactual sensations like to be a wall. The foreground and the background dont look join together it looks like Watt is standing in front of something. You can only when mold the top part of the sitter and the background as it is a close up. The only thing thats being cut out is the rest of the figure.I conjecture if I was there whilst this being painted you could tactile property nature and paint. You could probably here birds chirping and the wind blowing as it looks like an bailiwick where you would hear these surroundings. It looks as painted around midday. It does livem like a calm place and a very peaceful place . The illuminate on the salute is quite bright but the background is darker. I take it is a natural light. The light is coming from straight in and because if this I think it is during the day al around evening, but also I think it is spend because it looks quite cold.The light does cast shadows around the panorama I think its there to show some form and atmosphere, so the face doesnt l ook flat. The vagary in this painting is quite blunt and dreary and Watt doesnt look very happy , which I think has an effect on what the DOD which comes across as winter. Although sometimes winter is bright it will always has that effect which makes the atmosphere dull and tense. The nerve on Alison Watt definitely has an effect on the sense of humour of the painting because it Just looks as if shes depressed and wants to cry.The sitters position is unrecogniz equal as you cant see the shoulders all that you see is the neck and above the only way you can tell the mood is by the facial expression. As mentioned you cant see the sitters dress but from the hairstyle it looks quite classy and old fashioned. I think the artist hose the color scheme because it isnt a very complex painting So the color of the painting being neutral I guess is relevant to the painting. Watts brush stokes in the background be part of the painting they are almost unseen , it almost looks edited to loo k smooth,but the face is more textural you can see a few brushstrokes.Also on the face you can see where it has tried to be blended. I think the brush strokes are looser on the background and more controlled on the face etc where you desire detail. I am oblivious to how much time was dog-tired on This painting as they are to skilled be able o tell. But, personally I think Watt may bring in spent less time on this painting compared to the other painting. As this painting isnt as complex and not extremely detailed. The piece itself I would say is textural but around the spunkbones you can see dots/dabs use to blend the cheek and skin color.Watt seems to become use life like style or realistic, because it doesnt look fake and are elements where it Just looks airbrushed. Neutral colours have been used in this painting. I think Watt used these colors to give it the look of a real person. I think because of these colors that is why t made me decide the painting realistic/ pictorial piece. I dont think they have am effect on the mood or atmosphere. Also I think the color scheme makes parts of the face such as the nose and mouth stand out.I frankly couldnt choose between whether this image is hot or cold. At the first look I would definitely say cold but if you look closer at the painting the face gives it a warm sensation. Watt used pattern in empty and dull areas. Pattern was used well around the face using leaves and curls. Also where there is a big plain space of wall a ribbon has been added and I hint without these features it would be really empty. The pattern used was regular and analogous energy is out of the ordinary. In this painting the pattern is subtle.Although there is no definite outline ,you can see the different shapes and where watt has used two different colors side by side with a crisp edge. I think the painting is really bland. There is nothing really interesting going on. It is really amazing though how solid an artist is when they make it look so simple. I think Watt is good but I dislike this painting. I dont think this is the outgo piece Alison Watt has done, cause the rest have something interesting In it which makes you remember it and makes you wonder about the painting. The other artist Im going to investigate is Pablo Picasso.Picasso was a Spanish artist, boor in 1881 who was the son of an art teacher and showed artistic talent at a very young age. When Picasso was 19 he went to live in Paris to study new styles and to disperse up new styles. The blue limit was a historied period of Picasso. As the color blue symbolisms depression, when Picasso best friend committed felo-de-se Picasso went into deep depression this is what was now as the blue period, where all the paintings are in shades of blue, have religious undertones and the subject matter is worried in nature.In 1973 Picasso was taken from us and he was one of the most famous artists of the 20th century. During Picasso blue period it was his fri end Casemate who influenced Picasso. During the rose period when mostly shades of pink were used he was experimenting with gouache , the subject of matter was the carnival and during the cubist period it was ad African masks which influenced Picasso. The cubist period was when Picasso id his most original work , he took simple African masks which inspired him and morose them into paintings which are famous today.These kind of painting break away from the rules regarding naturalism and perspective. Some of the faces are distorted. Picasso was only known for doing portrait and figure paintings to my knowledge. fossil oil paint on canvas is Picasso most chosen way to work. The art work I will be focusing on is the droopy woman. It was made in 1907. Im not able to tell what size the fine art is. I do not know the name of the sitter nor do I now that its actually a person who Picasso has Just made into his own idea or whether he painted this from his head.I chose this painting becau se I painted it in primary school and its his most known painting or the only painting I had ever heard of. The portrait is full length and the figure in the painting is in able to tell if she is sitting or standing as you can only see the top half of her body but Im assuming shes sitting. It is a close up and the head takes up most of the portrait so the head is definitely the biggest object in the painting. In the background it is Just simply a wall. The foreground and background do look united together because the woman isnt ad.You can see a bit of the sitter and a bit of the background. I can Just see a cartoon woman crying that is literally all I think if I was to imagine myself in the painting. I can hear a woman crying and smell lots of paint. You cant tell the time because it isnt a realistic painting. Im guessing something has happened as there is a woman in tears, it feels awkward and depressing , not a very nice place to be. There is no lighting in the painting. I think the mood and atmosphere is sad and awkward. Its expression and the body language of the sitter also the painting itself is about a woman crying.I would describe the mood of the sitter as upset and you cant see the shoulders. You can see spate men as if she was holding a tissue up to her face to cross her nose/eyes. She is multicultural I cant see any of her clothes. I have no idea why Picasso chose this color scheme. The artists style is cartoonist and abstract to me. You cant see the brushstrokes. I dont think he worked on this painting as presbyopic as he did the others, he others Just look as if they have been thought through more carefully. The painting is flat, I dont know what textures have been used.
