Artists Journeys

One of her most popular paintings is her ¡§Broken Column¡¨(1944). His apparel is brown and very dark in colour and his suffering is very evident. This tragic accident snapped her spine, pelvis, collarbone and ribs. This painting depicts a set of elderly people during the ¡¥Great Potato Famine¡¦ in Ireland. It was during his "Blue Period" that he painted the famous "Old Guitarist" in 1903. This painting depicts disjointed, masked women. She ¡§painted out¡¨ her pain in her work, which now she is seen as the patron saint of all those who have suffered chronic illnesses. It is as though he has become one of them, and entered into their suffering himself¡¨ (Butterfield, ¡§troubled Life of Vincent Van Gogh¡¨). Frida's nudity may suggest that she felt she could do little about her situation. At the age of 6, she was diagnosed with polio and to make matters worse, at age 18 she had a horrific train collision accident.

In 1937, Picasso¡¦s famous canvas ¡§Guernica¡¨ was painted as protest against the bombing of the town of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War. Vincent moved to Paris where he lived in poverty, to visit his brother Theo and was immediately attracted to the Impressionist art he saw there.

Come to my conclusion, Picasso¡¦s paintings and other art works were very challenging therefor revolutionised art. He took advantage of this fact and also the fact that he was extremely famous, to make a few political statements that would go down in history.

¡§Van Gogh was institutionalised in Arles in 1888 and in the asylum, he painted more than seventy artworks, stemming from his psychological viewpoints and frustration and depression in his life at that moment¡¨ (Butterfield, ¡§Troubled Life of Vincent Van Gogh¡¨).
