Cubism is a very strange style of art. It's different than so-called "photographic art". And somebody hates it and somebody loves it, that is the question of the taste. Everybody has right to have their own opinions about the art. Somebody believes that cubism is the only couple of lines on the paper, but some other person sees those lines as the sign of genius mind, what makes the hand as the instrument of God. Those paintings are like whispers from the 1970's, even if they are painted earlier. They make the picture of yellow furniture and bright colored clothes with graphical pictures in my mind.
The masterpiece of cubist art is the portrait, what Pablo Picasso painted in 1912. The name of this masterpiece is "Glass and the bottle of Suze", where the painter has involved the newspapers and the mosaiced picture of those things, what are listed in the name of the painting. In the painting seems to be the head of the eagle, what looks to the looker of the painting. As we probably know, there are many levels in this painting, and that's why the translation of this picture needs the deeper way of thinking than just looking at it. In the name of the painting are the worlds, what might symbolize family.
If the person is an alcoholic, the alcohol and glass are everything in the life. In this painting is also small sarcasm about the thing, what the people are talking in the restaurants during the war, what was, of course, the First Balkan war. Those newspapers were told about the war at Balkan peninsula, and of course, that was the main role of talks in the restaurants. And if persons drink too much, the speech will translate to the patriotic, and this might be very humorous to hear.
And in the restaurants were sitting the famous painter, who would become the avatar of the cubist painting style, and one of the greatest and most respected painters of 20th. century. The cubism is one version of abstract art, and it is something so different than other art. The paintings are actually looking like very simple, but they are different than so-called "photographic art". They would bring many thoughts in the observer's mind, and the role of the picture is only a road to master's mind. The abstract art brings the images in the observer's mind and it lefts room for imagination, what like feeds the lost pieces of the picture.
The artist has many ways to make the work and the idea of the artists like Picasso is, that they left the final decisions of art for an observer. Those painters paintings are only frames and the picture is creating in the mind of the observers. So the painting is like simulation, what will begin the mind-storming of some observers, and they simulate the productive way of thinking. Imagination is the beginning of the process, what brings the picture in the artist's mind, and then the stimulation must be transferred to the paper. The painter actually makes synthetic pictures, and even if they are portraits of something, the colors could be different in nature, what they are in the picture. This is one way to make an art, and it's very different than some other styles of art.
