Picasso
Think about what was going on in the world throughout his life. War, poverty, depression, drugs, etc... At the same time look into his own life and try to relate the two. Art is an expression and inspiration for artists is what surrounds them. The meaning of his work is more of an opinion since you can not ask Picasso himself so no answer will be wrong.
All of Picasso's work is very unique and different. He has made his images very obscure as to what they could be representing or what the meaning behind them may be. We know that his art was a form of his own expressions. The image is made up of a variation of shapes and different colours to make a large scale picture. You have to be creatively minded in order to work out what is going on in some of his photos.
In this image he has created an image of a woman and she looks to be holding a cloth to her face or a piece of paper and screwing it up and biting down on it with what i feel is anxiety or heartfelt pain. He has created an image over an image, im not sure how to describe it but you are able to see her face and hands on or through the cloth/handkerchief.
Picasso's work comes across very much like a photo montage!
Georges Braque
His work is less creative and wacky compared to Picasso's work but it is still unique! George Braque has chosen to create his paintings with an end product of looking more painted and sketched out where as Picasso has made an end product more of an image.
In George Braque's first painting you are able to see the brush strokes very well and the painting comes across a little like a joinery photograph!
His work is easily under stood and does not come across as if it were an expression of his own feelings they are more just paintings or drawings that maybe he has seen in real life like the first picture.
