my "fake" Picasso for Lib 110 class

My "fake Picasso"

My title: "Behind the Curtain"
This is my "fake" Picasso, it is this bright colorful crayon drawing. For this assignment we were supposed to find a painting done by an artist that inspires us. Out of the choices that we had, I felt closest to Picasso.  I wanted to use the simplest kind of form through Picasso cubism era with my own twist. I did use a lot of different bright colors like red, green, blue, pink, and a blend of orange. I was exposed to art at a very young age and have always enjoyed the likes of Picasso and his work. I decided for my piece of artwork I wanted to combine his types of art and bring them together. I find the woman in the painting is expressing her femininity in a most graceful way. She is elegant, beautiful, and at her most vulnerable. I imagined the water could be either cold or hot and that would make her skin color change and react to the different temperatures of the water.
The woman allows Picasso to share her “bath time” especially with him
"Seated Bather" (c1930)
I believe that this artwork is truly unique and expresses a side of romances in Picasso. Also you may have notice that I didn't try to make my "fake" Picasso like the original. As you can see in this original oil painting he uses lighter colors and not as much blocking as I did. The original art as seen here is called "Seated Bather"(c1930) oil on canvas. It is not said why Picasso did this oil painting at the MOMA but it does leave your mind open to imagination.
