*Dance with Veils* (1907), A Painting by Picasso, Unframed C..More

*Dance with Veils* (1907)- It shows Picasso*s experiments in formulating new ways of representing the human body were enhanced in 1907 by the introduction of a new technique into his paintings - the use of hatch marks, where close parallel lines are deployed to suggest volume and shading. These lines, often referred to as striations, appear throughout the work, to model both the female body and the space it inhabits. The deliberately inconsistent use of such shading, however, serves to undermine our sense of a real, three-dimensional body in real space. Instead, the form seems to be constructed from a series of intersecting geometrical planes, which in turn echo the similar geometrical planes that make up the surrounding space, making the contours of the female nude difficult to discern. *PABLO PICASSO (1881-1973) is universally renowned as one of the most influential and celebrated artists of the twentieth century; in terms of art, and art movements that occurred over this period. Before the age of 50, the Spanish born artist had become the most well-known name in modern art, with the most distinct style and eye for artistic creation. There had been no other artists, prior to Picasso, who had such an impact on the art world, or had a mass following of fans and critics alike, as he did. Throughout the long course of his career, he created more than 20,000 paintings, drawings, sculptures, ceramics and other items such as costumes and theater sets. His art career can be divided in major breakthroughs & periods like Blue period, Rose Period, Cubism, Surrealism, Neoclassicism & Sculpture.
