Pablo Picasso's works, featuring: The Old Guitarist.

... Mark Posthuma Humanities through the Arts Paper Project Pablo Picasso's works, featuring: The Old Guitarist Pablo Picasso is by far one of the most influential artists of the nineteen-hundreds. He changed the meaning of art in so many ways, while showing that he had enormous skill, dedication and a little bit of craziness. His life spans many different perspectives in art, and his artistic timeline stretches, bends, twists, and even breaks in some points. From the Blue period, to sketches, to pure abstraction, this master of art was always able to get his point across; and quite wonderfully too. The two paintings of his that I have chosen to discuss are The Old Guitarist from the blue period, and Don Quixote. These are examples of two different periods in Picasso's painting career, and provide great contrast to one another. Their form and content are very different, thus making it an interesting comparison.
