*The Studio* (1928), A Painting by Picasso, Unframed Canvas ..More

*The Studio* (1928)- The pieces share a vibrant Synthetic Cubism palette, but the palette is constrained to bring emphasis to a bold and authoritative execution in planar regions. Picasso's The Studio is so similar to a Johannes Vermeer painting that it nearly seems like it was produced to show how the Vermeer could be transformed into abstract concepts. In a few black lines against the light area of the canvas he is preparing to work on, Picasso forms the figure of the painter. *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.
