Spanish painter, sculptor and ceramist Pablo Picasso became the founder of Cubism - artistic direction, who rejected the traditions of naturalism and the visual-cognitive function of art, in which a three-dimensional body was drawn in an original manner as a series of planes combined together.

Picasso, like no one else, experiments with color and conveying mood and presents the form itself in a new light, deliberately deforming and one-sidedly interpreting it. Picasso pays Special attention transformation of forms into geometric blocks, increases and breaks volumes, dissects them into planes and edges that continue in space not limited by the plane of the picture.

During his lifetime, Picasso said, “I don’t own a single painting of mine because a Picasso original costs several thousand dollars—I can’t afford such a luxury.” And today Picasso is the most “expensive” artist: in 2008, official sales of his works alone amounted to $262 million. May 4, 2010 Picasso’s painting “Nude, green leaves and bust”, sold at auction for $106 million, became the most expensive work art ever sold in the world.

Based on a survey of 1.4 million readers conducted by newspaper The Times in 2009, Picasso was voted the best artist alive in the last 100 years. His paintings rank first in “popularity” among thieves.

It wouldn’t hurt at all to understand the field of art in today’s issue and understand which of the proposed artists could say so in their time. But, since there was nowhere to wait for help other than myself, I had to turn to networking opportunities to find the right author of the words about the yellow spot, ready to become the sun in the hands of a master.

If we take a philosophical approach to the idea of ​​the aphorism, then I see its meaning in the fact that a person gifted with artistic talent will, in any case, get the sun. And in the hands of a mediocre student, even a brilliant sketch of the sun, made, for example, by a teacher, will become a blot or a spot. Therefore, if you try this idea on each of the artist’s quizzes, then Levitan, Van Gogh, and Picasso would certainly get the sun. It’s just that everyone’s style and manner are somewhat different, and not everyone is large quantities or often used yellow color in their paintings. But, I repeat, the author of the words apparently did not mean style, but precisely the ability to paint pictures, and with such a sharp aphorism he seemed to cut off those who did not know how to do this, although they considered themselves an artist.

Now about the answer that should be written (marked) on the quote of the day. The answer is Picasso, a Spaniard. This statement belongs to him. The Spanish temperament comes through in the quote, right? Impulsiveness, ardor and impetuosity. However, if you read Picasso’s “advices (commandments), you can, in part, begin to perceive his paintings differently... It happens, but not always, when the “brain stuffed with information” turns off, and only the eyes remain, gliding across the canvas of the picture, emotions begin to prevail over reason, hmm... And this is another “advice” from Pablo...
