ART COMPARISON

Picasso Vs. Perugino The Painting Of The Female
The Picasso and the Perugino paintings in the art book are in no way really similar; they
are infact very different aside from the fact that the main piece of the painting is a
female. The colors used in Picasso's Weeping Woman are a lot of Brights. But the colors
in Perugino's The Virgin and Child with Saints uses nice colors, neither bright nor dull
but there are many different colors in both of the paintings. I feel as though that there
is much more detail in the Perugino then the Picasso using much more texture as well as
detail in the people in the painting and the landscape. The Picasso is an up close cubism
type of painting and is very distorted but that is the intention of the painter. As for
the Perugino there is much detail in the painting showing fine details in the clothing
the people the ground it is a very in-depth painting.
Comparison
Color: The Picasso has yellows, reds, blues, greens, black, purple and white. Picasso
uses his colors in a pretty uneven manner he uses 3-4 colors on the face of the Weeping
woman in stead of the usual black white colors of the usual person. Personally, I love
the naked picture of the woman. The Perugino has more colors then I can really count but
he didn't use brights its more or less just regular colors but he uses the colors great
to get the details of the painting out and helps you get a better feel for the painting.
Some of the colors he uses are lots of blues, whites, greens, and some reds. The colors
in both are very well chosen I think that the colors chosen are what really make the
paintings what they have come to be "two of the best paintings made by each respective
artiest."
Lines: In the Perugino there aren't really too many lines in this painting. I feel that
this painting is right out front as in he doesn't try to hide any thing some painters put
hidden messages in there paintings or what they paint means something different then it
really looks it doesn't appear that this is what Perugino was going for. The Picasso on
the other hand this was done when he changed his style to cubism this is when people say
he "lost it". He uses a lot of lines in this painting because he is going for the look of
sorrow and being broken up so he uses a lot of lines to get the broken up and distorted.
Look in the painting it looks like he takes the painting after it is painted and just
cuts it up and moves pieces around to get what ever effect he feels like he wants in the
painting. I think that Picasso love to use all shapes.
I like the fact that both of them have triangles they both us them but the Picasso uses
them as well as lines squares and many other shapes. The squares make the paintings so
much stronger they give it a different feeling a feeling of order and balance. I think
this is what draws me to these paintings in one there is so much detail and in the other
there is a very good amounts of shapes. The one I like more out of the two has got to be
by far is Picasso's Weeping Woman. I like this painting the most out of the who is
because he is my favorite painter out of all that I know I like his stuff because like I
said it looks like he just paints it, and just cuts it up. I like how it looks abstract I
like the odd I guess I could say. I like how he uses shapes that have no name and our out
of wacko I guess that's what I've always liked his work. I like his stuff more when he
changed his ways and started with cubes and wacky colors as well as the Brights. The
things that make Perugino's The Virgin and Child with Saints one of my favorites out of
the Art Book are; all the wonderful colors and the triangle that he has using the people
at one big triangle pretty much taking up the whole canvas. I also like the texture and
the life of the people they look really real like the eyes you can actually see them the
cloths they ware you can see the texture and the folds in the cloths.
The Picasso was made in 1937 it is oil on canvas and measures at H.60.8xw50cm.and is in
the Tate Gallery, London.
The Perugino was made in 1497 and is an oil on panel, it measures H276xw213cm.and is in
Pinacoteca Nazionale, Bologna.
When I look at a painting the first thing I look for is what types of colors and brush
strokes when you can see them they are my favorite things about paintings but it is hard
for you to see in the book. The second thing I go for is details for example I like the
details in Perugino's you can see all of the things in the painting you can see strands
of hair the eyes the clouds look real the painting is very realistic.
The Perugino has a group of saints and one of the saints is actually carrying forcepts
that where used to remove her teeth in an attempt to get her to renounce the Christian
faith. As I read in the Art Book about Picasso's Weeping Woman it says he actually used
deep strokes to show the pain and the suffering that the woman is going through. 
The first thing I see when I look at the Perugino is how the Virgin and the child are
sort of suspended in the air on a chair or thrown of some sorts almost like a dream that
the saints are having. The first thing I see when I look at the Picasso is the white in
the middle it seems to be a tissue or something like a hank to wipe away her tears it is
all distorted and I like that.
Conclusion: These are the types of art that I like. I can get the most out of these. I
never realized just how beautiful art is until this class I will admire and get in-depth
in it and think what is this painter trying to make me see in this piece of art.
