*Woman Throwing a Stone* (1931)- Picasso pushes simplification and abstraction - and thus painting as a whole - even further in Woman Throwing a Stone (1931). The figures have become more difficult to recognise: the breasts and triangle belly are recognisable enough, despite the lack of realistic indicators, but the head, which has taken on a phallic shape with antennae, is tough to discern, and the arms and legs are even more perplexing. The rock arabesques are counterbalanced by those of the body, the convoluted form, the elasticity of the volumes, and the pinkish and stony-grey colours offer a multitude of artistic and suggestive possibilities. Picasso announces the aggressive and sketchy style of the 1970s with this painting, which features rich impasto, plastic paints, drippings, and visible brushwork. ******** 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. ******** 'DECOR ADVENTURES' Brand Creative & Innovative Wall Decor Frames with State-of-the-Art, fresh & new themes, ideas & features; Presenting a new range of wall decor frames made out of timeless & classic paintings by world famous artists.
