Picasso's Les Demoiselles d'Avignon shows the truth in the art. I believe that in this painting Picasso was trying to make us think about the Beauty standard in society and what we see as beautiful. Great works of art challenge ideas and this one challenged what we see as beauty in our society. Even though it is a great work of art some people couldn't bear to look at it because they saw it vile.
Art depending on the viewer can bring out different truths to them, its all about the perception of the person who is viewing it. Some are more obvious than other, but in Picasso's Les Demoisells d'Avignon he is showing that art doesn't have to be beautiful in order to make an outstanding work of art like he did.
Les Demoiselles d'Avignon did indeed do just that and because it did that, that is why so many people cannot stand its sight. It also shows how the truth can be ugly and not always desirable. It did challenge what peoples views on beauty are.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree, Picasso was challenging everything that came before in art. It was a very odd yet revolutionary piece of art that changed the face of art. There is a lot of hidden truth in the Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, even if they are hard to see.
