please have a look at the entry in the guardian on the daily lives of some artists, select one of them, get familiar with his/her work and make a comment on this here in the blog; then just prepare a presentation on that artist to share with your partners.
Likely taken in Paris, where Picasso remained during the second world war, the image captures one of the best-known artists in the world standing as a proud papa with the nine-year-old Maya, the only child of his relationship with his mistress Marie-Thérèse Walter. Piccaso is the painter I like his way of painting. His paintings have little sense, but do you think that is what the artist wants to convey. In my work, I talk about the painter called Murillo.
ResponderEliminarVan Gogh:
ResponderEliminarVincent Willem Van Gogh was a post-impressionist painter, whose artistic development was affected by his mental illness. He worked as an apprentice in an art gallery and then, he decided to dedicate himself to painting. Vincent moved to Arles and he rented a house to invite his friend Gauguin to live with him. They had an argument and his friend left. Vincent cut his right ear lobe and he gave it to his friend, as a sign of regret. After this, he went to a hospital and when he come back home, he painted many self-portraits that show his mutilation. Van Gogh shot himself with a revolver and finally, he died on July 29, 1890.
He has so many famous pictures, such as "The Starry Night", "The Sower", "Sunflowers" or "Bedroom in Arles".
Pablo Ruiz Picasso.
ResponderEliminarPablo Ruiz Picasso (Malaga, Spain, October 25, 1881 - Mougins, France, April 8, 1973), known as Pablo Picasso was a Spanish painter and sculptor, creator of the Cubist movement.
He is considered one of the greatest painters who participated in many artistic movements that spread throughout the world and exerted a great influence on other great artists of his time. He painted more than two thousand works, found in museums and collections throughout Europe and the world.
One of his most famous painting is "Guernica" It was painted between May and June 1937, whose title refers to the bombing of Guernica, which occurred on April 26 of that year, during the Spanish Civil War.In the painting, nine symbols are represented: six people and three animals (bull, horse and pigeon) It is at the National Center of Art Reina Sofia Museum.
And finally another painting of Picasso that I really love is "La Danza" This is a painting of wide format (215 x 142 cm), whose theme constitute a group of naked women inside a bourgeois room with papered walls, which are linked by hands dancing a frenzied and bizarre dance in front of a balcony from which the blue sky, sea or both currency. Cut profile backlit window silhouette of an image corresponding to Ramon Pichot, a friend of the artist of the year Bateau-Lavoir, which Picasso received the news of his death during the making of the work is observed, and decides to include it in this way Tenebre composition of the picture.
MARCEL DUCHAMP
ResponderEliminarMarcel Duchamp was a french artist who made such a strong influence during the development of pop movement in the XX century.
Personally, this is one of my favourite artists because he invented a new style called “ready made” which consists in select one typical object we use normally in our lives and consider it art. For example, one of the most important works he did was “The fountain” which is simply an urinal signed by him. These king of work were considered by art critics as a mockery because they thaught the only thing he wanted to do was call the attention. But the truth is that Duchamp tried to make reflect people about what is art.
I really like this artist and I feel identified with him because the reality is that people who supposedly love art, buy paintings or works who have been qualified as “art” by a critic of art or by the own artist. For example, in so many cases these works are only three red lines painted in a picture and they are considered art. This is what Duchamp tried to denounce.

ResponderEliminarDiego Velázquez
ResponderEliminarDiego Velazquez lived from 1599 to 1660. He was borned in Sevilla at 1599 and he died in Madrid in 1660. He belong to barroque style and he is one of the most famous spanish painter of al the centuries.
Velazquez worked for the King, Felipe IV and he worked as painter of kings for all his life. With his job, he painted, probably the most famous painting, ''Las Meninas'', ''meninas'' in portuguese means little girl. This painting want represents the portrait of the Kings, Felipe IV and Mariana de Austria. They appear on the end's mirror. At the beginning of the painting we can see the daughters of the Kings with they babysitters. In the same painting, Velazquez represent himself painting the picture. the most importante of this painting is the composition. ''Las Meninas'' is in the Prado Museum in Madrid.
I think that Velazquez was a good painter, he made painting very important, apart from ''Las Meninas'', like ''El aguador de Sevilla''. Velazquez is a figure to the spanish culture and for this many around the world come to spanich museum for watching his painting. In my opinion Velazquez supposed, in this time, a change with the reference to art.

Andrew Warhola (Pittsburgh, August 6, 1928 - New York, February 22, 1987), commonly known as Andy Warhol, was an artist and filmmaker who played a crucial role in the birth and development of pop art. After a successful career as a commercial illustrator, Warhol became world famous for his work in painting, avant-garde cinema and literature.
ResponderEliminarMainly Warhol is considered as the greatest exponent of pop art, a movement characterized by the use of images from popular culture taken from the media to criticize the consumer society. The most
important works of pop art by Warhol are Marilyn Monroe, Coca Cola, Campbell´s soup, Cow...
I chose Andy Warhol because I believe that Warhol was an artist that changed modern art with the pop art, a movement that I think is revolutionary, modern, colorful and creative, so i feel identified with that.
Francisco de Goya y Lucientes (Fuendetodos, Zaragoza, March 30, 1746-Bordeaux, France, April 16, 1828) was a Spanish painter and engraver. His work includes easel painting and mural, the engraving and drawing. In all these facets it developed a style that inaugurates Romanticism. The Goya's art also marks the beginning of contemporary painting, and is considered a precursor of the pictorial vanguards of the twentieth century.
ResponderEliminarAfter a slow learning in his homeland in the late Baroque stylistic scope and devotional prints, travels to Italy in 1770, where he became contact with the incipient neoclassicism, which adopts when it marches to Madrid in the middle of that decade, along with a picturesque rococo manners derived from his new job as a painter of cartoons for the tapestries of the actual manufacturing of Santa Barbara. The teaching in this activity and others related to the painting of the court imposed Mengs, and the most renowned Spanish painter was Francisco Bayeu, who was brother of Goya.
A serious illness that afflicts him in 1793 led him to approach a more creative and original painting, which expresses less kind themes that the models that had painted for the decoration of the royal palaces. A number of squares in tin, which he calls whim and invention, initiate the mature phase of the artist's work and the transition to romantic aesthetics.
In addition, his work reflects the turbulent historical period in which he lives, particularly the War of Independence, in which the number of prints of the disasters of war is almost a modern story of the atrocities and compose a vision free of heroism where victims are always the individuals of any class and condition.
Great popularity has its Naked Maja, partly favored by the controversy generated around the portrayed identity of the beautiful. In the early nineteenth century also they date other pictures that undertake the way towards the new bourgeois art. At the end of the Spanish-French conflict paints two pictures about the events of the uprising of May 2, 1808, they feel somewhat aesthetically and thematically to the previous box story, says that not only closer to reality live events the artist, it reaches a universal message.
But its culminating work is the series of oil paintings on the dry wall with which he decorated his house, the Black Paintings. In them Goya anticipates the contemporary painting and the varied movements of vanguard that would mark the twentieth century.
I chose Goya because I love his art and I love all his pictures. He is mad and I'm mad too.
