One of the well known modern day 20th century artist that many people have heard of and know of is Pablo Picasso. Pablo Picasso was born in 1881 and in 1973. As a child Picasso started drawing and a the age of sixteen Picasso dropped out of school and it wasn’t untill the early 1890’s that Pablos father received a job at an art school, and this is where Picasso attended as a student. As Picasso was educated he began to gain popularity and started traveling around the world learning new styles of art. The above piece of art has a very shape with a very thick and space opening handle. The front of the vase is a very different depiction than we have viewed from the 5th and 6th century. This pot was most likely constructed for decorations or for liquid holding as a pitcher. The opening at the rim of the pot is very small and with a thick handle it illustrates a possible liquid holding. Two suns on the front of the vase illustrate what appear to be eye balls. Overall this vase and or pitcher depicts a happy and joyful face from simple constructive striations of paint. This piece is significant because it illustrates how simple a piece of art may be in the new era and or centuries. In today’s era this piece is worth thousands of dollars. I chose this pitcher because of how the face reaches out to viewers immediately. The only question I had with this pitcher was how much it weighs with and without liquid? This piece of art is important to the pottery theme because it shows and illustrates the transition the artist have gone through from early BC centuries.(masterworksfinearts.com)( http://pablo-picasso.paintings.name/biography/)(skinnerinc.com)
