Picasso's Metamorphosis
His bags packed, Picassowas excited to leave for Cuba. He knew he was a lucky dog because his mama, Luciana, took him with her everywhere she went.
Picasso stood at mama's aide as airport security looked at their passports. As the glass doors closed, he wondered if all his bones showed on the x-ray machine. The only thing difficult about being a Parson Russell was he was very short and most of life is up high.

It seemed like a short nap when the stewardess told them him to buckle up for saftey. The plane was now making its landing in Cuba. The taxi driver took the luggage and he hopped up on mama's lap with his head out of the window. The buildings in the city of Havana were bright colors. It was tge most colorful city Picasso had ever seen.

    From the time you enter the Falk Theatre, until the curtain rises and falls on the Stageworks productions of Picasso at the Lapin Agile, you are in for a treat. The play is an original work by Steve Martin with a running time of 90minutes, which feels more like 30minutes. Aside from the uncomfortable seating, this production is nothing short of wonderful. The Theatre has been transformed from a long movie Theater atmosphere to a quaint surrounding by means of risers that are placed directly on the stage. The new seating divides the old Theater in half and allows for the actors and the audience to share the same space. Not only this atmosphere that makes it wonderful but also the performances, the direction, the design and the script.…

    When doing portraiture artists tend to exaggerate colour and tones to get across the feelings in a picture or to exaggerate the importance of something or someone in a picture. I have chosen to compare and contrast the work of two portraits, first of all I will talk about ‘weeping woman’ by Pablo Picasso and I will secondly talk about ‘Woman with a veil’ but Raphael Sanzio.…

    In "Mexico," Cisneros uses long, elaborate, descriptive sentences to move from one memory of her hometown, or memory of her grandfather, to the next. This writing style helps deliver a very personal feeling to the audience; it makes the audience feel as if they could be there witnessing the balloon vendors bringing all of their unsold balloons back home, or feeling the soft, Kleenex-like money. This type of writing is called syntax. The use of syntax is extremely important to writers, as it is used with diction to develop the mood, tone, and atmosphere of a story. Without these critical elements, a story would not be worth reading.…

    It is said that Rome was not built in a day. True. It took ambition, lust, murder and the unrivalled power of technology to make the Roman Empire span across three continents and many centuries. While the contributions of ambition, conquest and other political and militaristic factors remain important for the Roman Republic to transform into an Empire, none of this could have been possible without the immense contribution of engineering and technology. In this essay, we shall look into three engineering feats that I believe were crucial in building the Roman Empire. We shall be making use of the video “Rome: Engineering an Empire” as an aid towards the selection of the three technological marvels.…

    Olga was a big time ballet dancer and inspired Picasso to be more classical and soon enough he had a new apartment and his parties became more formal. Olga and Picasso birthed a son named Paulo in 1921. The birth of Paulo caused Picasso to start painting mother and child pictures. Picasso started to not like the fame and attention he was getting from the community. According to arthistoryarchive.com ,Picasso wrote, "Of all the misfortunes – hunger, misery, being misunderstood by the public – fame is by far the worst. This is how God chastises the artist. It is sad. It is true". Olga being the big ballet dancer she was, could not understand why Picasso didn't like the fame. Soon after this issue, Pablo had an affair with Paulo's seventeen year old nurse Marie Thérèse Walters. In 1927 Surrealism took action in Picasso's work. Sooner than later, surrealism became vastly popular to a wide range of people. Many of Picasso's surrealism art pieces depicted different aspects of Thérèse Walters. Picasso claimed that during 1935 was the worst time of his life. Thérèse Walters was pregnant with Picasso's girl Maya. This caused Olga and Picasso's divorce harder and harder because they each had a lot of wealth and that triggered lawyers. During this time of financial trouble, Picasso started including the picture of a bull in a lot of his art works…
