Art 2 - Picasso and African masks

 


Picasso was one of many 2D artists inspired by 3D work and in particular 3D work from Africa.  Watch the following short video and tell me what you think.

  1. I really like the video and how it goes through a large range of Picasso pieces and compares them to masks. His styles really did vary, yet you could always kind of find a hint of "mask" in them.

  2. I liked that Picasso was inspired by African masks and even though they looked a little out of place in his paintings, they are like a trademark of his work.

  5. Picasso is one of my favorite artists because his style is so unique. He was still influential in the things he was influenced by such as the African masks.
