Comparing Girl Before A Mirror By Picasso And Reptiles
The artworks Girl Before a Mirror by Picasso and Reptiles by MC Escher have both simple and intricate similarities and differences. Girl Before a Mirror is an oil painting done in 1932. The painting is very surreal, as the girl in the painting is distorted and inaccurate. In contrast, Reptiles is a lithograph done in 1943 and the main focus is multiple lizards accurately portrayed and surrounded by desk items such as books and plants. The lithograph is also in black and white and three dimensional, unlike the two dimensional and brightly colored Girl Before a Mirror. Although Reptiles has many different subjects, the lithograph goes together well and doesn't seem broken up, different from Girl Before a Mirror which appears very segmented. Both

    Analysis Of Pablo Picasso's Girl Before A Mirror

    When looking at Pablo Picasso’s “Girl Before a Mirror”, one can obviously make out a girl observing herself in front of a mirror. The woman is portrayed one way before the mirror and another way in her reflection. Picasso is obviously sending a message behind the meaning of his work. He also, more than likely, has a reason and story behind why he rendered the work of art. This message and story become useless when it is reproduced onto a computer screen, according to John Berger. In his Ways of Seeing, Berger explains how technology accompanied by today’s world has somewhat tainted the worth and overall beauty of experiencing art. One no longer has the ability to remove him or herself from reality or as Clive Bell would say, have an “aesthetic…

    The Banjo Lesson: Painting Analysis

    Again, both paintings illustrate an adult and a child and give you the sense of family togetherness by showing them involved in an activity together. I get the sense of a loving time shared between family members that will create lifetime memories. Both paintings were also started in 1893 and render a lifestyle from the same period. They are also extremely close in size and the medium for both is the same, oil on canvas.…

    Mirror, Mirror on the Wall… Mirror Imagery in The Scarlet Letter

    According to research in the field of psychology, guilt manifests itself in many ways. Often those who feel guilty see assurances for their feeling in the action of others—even when the public has no interest in his or her private life. In a conservative society, however, rules are imposed upon him or her, barring the person from moving ahead with their life, no matter how insignificant the crime. Michael L. Lasser takes a similar approach, arguing that Pearl is a mirror image of Hesters guilt—a constant reminder of her mistake. Lassers argument has merit because Hawthorne not only uses mirror imagery in relation to Hesters guilt, but also in regards the emotions of all characters.…

    The first piece of artwork that will be looked is from the Renaissance Era. Da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa”(c. 1519) a painting that is known around the world, which has been known to cause skepticism as to who is this woman. Did she really exist? Or is this merely a self-portrait that Da Vinci was able to show his private devotion for the female form? The second piece of artwork that will be discussed is from The Middle Ages. Antonio Veneziano’s “Virgin and Child”(c. 1380) both pieces of art work stem from different eras but share many commonalities as well as shows the transformation of art techniques from Sfumato, to perspective, as well as linear perspective, Humanism, foreshortening and more between each era.…

    Similarities Between Picasso And Deborah Butterfield

    At first sight, it’s difficult to find out any feature shared by the Pablo Picasso’s and Deborah Butterfield’s sculptures; only after investigating some time analyzing these artworks one may realize both artworks are actually based on the same subject matter – on the image of an animal, that is. Neither the shape, nor the colors, nor the texture seem to be common between them. This fact amazes the viewer as it demonstrates how the artists’ differing personalities and artistic inclinations can lead to such the different interpretations of one topic. Concerning the artwork’s shape, Butterfield’s design is quite conventional.…
