The Young Ladies of Avignon (Painting)

This is an incredible large painting, it is an important turning point of Picasso's art career, and also it is revolutionary breakthrough of western modern art history, because this painting triggered Cubism movement.

The Young Ladies of Avignon was begun to paint in 1906, finished in 1907. Paintings in five naked women and a group of still life .Painting of three naked women in the left are classical rigid body deformation; but other two naked women in the right are wild images of original art.

Picasso used the original art to destroy classical aesthetic, this painting just like "A land of broken glass". In the process of creating this painting, Picasso broke lots of things (rules). But after breakings Picasso created many new things. What are the new things? When I first saw this painting, I was so impressed, all the breakage in perfect order; everything in the painting is sliced into several images. If I look into very image, I feel a very strong three-dimensional feeling. I'm not sure they are concave or convex. But every image is connecting to each other that make the painting continuity and integrity.

You don’t really know what it is by first looking at it. This is just so beautiful. It’s a light! I would like to put it inside my home to bring me the light. White gives us comfortable feelings, peaceful it’s a good color used in light. I also really like the shape of this light, circle, lots of little circle, inside the sexy shape of the light, just so perfect.

I like the background wall, like a mazz
they are perfect mixed with the light, people who designed that and the background must be very smart and interesting people. I like curve and straight line mixed together.

There is a picture of Apple with a knife inside its mouths. Here is very an interesting thinking. I like the idea of it, also his face (the apples face) tells us that his trying really hard to keep the knife inside his mouth.

Its teeth’s are showing really clear. I like its eyes, one big eye and one small eye, different size eyes made the idea less boring, but still this photo are not so perfect, I guess they can make the apple more perfect with the shape.

I don’t like the apple skin on the table; I think it’s not important.
Also the knife are not too fashion, but normal fruit knife.
