Credibility is something that takes a lot of time to gain, but can be lost in an instance. When someone or something is credible that means they are easily trusted or believed in because of what they have done in the past. For example Nike lost some credibility when new came out they were producing their products in sweatshops across the world. However since that they have worked on that problem and gained back their credibility, but it took some time. Credibility is a great quality to have, it means you are trustworthy and people respect you. Furthermore Alex Rodriguez is another example that shows why credibility is an important quality and how cheating affects it.

Picasso is a sociopath narcissist. Picasso, named for his drawings that he left at a crime scene, is fascinated with implementing pain on others. First he killed and tortured the billionaire’s mistress by tying her up and proceeding to cut off all of her fingers. He then left a charcoal drawing of the crime scene and this is how he received his

While he already had a considerable following by the middle of 1906, Picasso enjoyed further success with his paintings of massive over-sized nude women, monumental sculptural figures that recalled the work of Paul Gauguin and showed his interest in primitive (African, Micronesian, Native American) art. He began exhibiting his work in the galleries of Berthe Weill (1865–1951) and Ambroise Vollard, (1866–1939) quickly gaining a growing reputation and a following amongst the artistic community of Montparnasse.

As Pablo Picasso once said, “Painting is a blind man’s profession. He paints not what he sees, but what he feels, what he tells himself about what he has seen.” Picasso’s passion for art started at a young age, getting his passion for art from his father. Pablo Picasso is known for the innovative techniques he introduced to the art world.

With this ability, Picasso seized this opportunity of adaptation, and thus expanded his clientele.

This came to fruition when Picasso gained one of his earliest patrons and close friend, Gertrude Stein. Picasso’s relationship with Stein developed when Stein moved to Paris with her brother where she hoped to pursue and art career. With the acquisition of a Matisse and Picasso’s own Young Girl with a Basket of Flowers.

Pablo Picasso is one of the most famous and well-documented artists of the twentieth century. Picasso, unlike most painters, is even more special because he did not confine himself to canvas, but also produced sculpture, poetry, and ceramics in profusion. Although much is known about this genius, there is still a lust after more knowledge concerning Picasso, his life and the creative forces that motivated him. This information can be obtained only through a careful study of the events that played out during his lifetime and the ways in which they manifested themselves in his

Inspiration is found in every niche of life; it’s found in the desire to perform in athletics, music, and in school, while also being found in the moment of fondness with the love of your life. However, in my own life, my inspiration is to surpass the set limits that others impose on me. I thrive on overcoming these limits and excelling at what I set my mind to. This influence on my life is especially prevalent on the baseball field and in academics.

Looking to the middle ground, at the bottom of the platform/stage is a brown stepping stool placed against the stage on a wooden paneled floor. Nothing stands between the women and the artist in the front left of the picture who is painting her. The painting reminds me a lot of the setup of the Manet, A bar at the Folies-Berge’s, 1881-82, Oil on Canvas, 37 ¾. Maybe that is why I was so drawn to

Picasso's painting entitled "Standing Figure" depicts a nude woman with her arms crossed behind her head. It was painted in 1908 during a key period of invention and experimentation, as Picasso began to construct his paintings in a new way. The figure is translated into simplified, geometric forms, reflecting Picasso's interest in the art of Africa and Oceania. Using only a few colors, he focuses the viewer's attention on the intersection of these geometric forms. It seems as though Picasso uses the blue lines in this painting like some sort of directional device, drawing attention to the outline of the woman's figure. As we discussed in class, the style of cubism uses multiple or contrasting vantage points. Another element of cubism is simplifying more complicated scenes into geometric forms. Cubism rejected the inherited concept that art should copy nature, or that they should adopt the traditional techniques of perspective, modeling, and foreshortening. They wanted instead to emphasize the two-dimensionality of the canvas.

The first generation of feminists tried to reevaluate and praise the value of feminine attributes, especially the female body, differentiated from masculine attributes and feminine experiences with an essentialist attitude. Kahlo was praised as a legendary feminist artist, as the women inside her self-portraits are not passive objects for men’s visual satisfaction but active observers who look closely into their minds. As mentioned above as well, the female artists’ dilemma is that they are not only the subject of painting but also the object being observed. Amid art history, established and dominated by men, instead of depicting men as her competitors, Kahlo visualized the introspection of herself in her paintings. She did not limit her role to competing with men, but she unfolded her sad personal history in her unique way. Among them, the image of women depicted in Self Portrait with Curly Hair (1935) (Figure 25) and Self-Portrait with Cropped Hair (1940) (Figure 2) are not at all passive. It is in line with the effort made by feminists involved in the early feminist art movement, which was to change the passive and negative female image created by men. Kahlo is a true feminist artist as she delivered truth observed through women’s eyes in the period in which only truth seen through men’s eyes was accepted. She painted pondering women amid her suffering. She had a special ability to connect femininity and masculinity, and this ability appeared in her painting (Bakewell Lisa,

Les Demoiselles d'Avignon is probably the most representative painting that transits Picasso to cubism. It is a radical break from the conventional representation that for so long has been accepted in western culture because Picasso directly brings concepts like sexuality, female nude bodies, and sexually transmitted diseases to form a palpable three-dimensional fractured space. Picasso depicts the opposition of pleasure, which is sensual eroticism with sarcasm in a brothel located on a street named Avignon, takes women outward to audiences and engages with viewers. This painting is an untraditional and bold confrontation with the conventional art, thus, revolutionizing the entire art world.
