Pablo Picasso:
Pablo Ruiz y Picasso, known as Pablo Picasso 25 October 1881 – 8 April 1973), was a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker,ceramicist, and stage designer who spent most of his adult life in France. As one of the greatest and most influential artists of the 20th century, he is widely known for co-founding the Cubist movement, the invention of constructed sculpture,the co-invention of collage, and for the wide variety of styles that he helped develop and explore. Among his most famous works are the proto-Cubist Les Demoiselles d'Avignon (1907), and Guernica (1937), a portrayal of the German bombing of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War.
Picasso, Henri Matisse and Marcel Duchamp are commonly regarded as the three artists who most defined the revolutionary developments in the plastic arts in the opening decades of the 20th century, responsible for significant developments in painting, sculpture, printmaking and ceramics.
Picasso demonstrated extraordinary artistic talent in his early years, painting in a realistic manner through his childhood and adolescence. During the first decade of the 20th century, his style changed as he experimented with different theories, techniques, and ideas. His revolutionary artistic accomplishments brought him universal renown and immense fortune, making him one of the best-known figures in 20th-century art.
Alexander Rodchenko:
Aleksander Mikhailovich Rodchenko was a Russian artist, sculptor, photographer and graphic designer. He was one of the founders of constructivism and Russian design; he was married to the artistVarvara Stepanova.
Rodchenko was one of the most versatile Constructivist and Productivist artists to emerge after the Russian Revolution. He worked as a painter and graphic designerbefore turning to photomontage and photography. His photography was socially engaged, formally innovative, and opposed to a painterly aesthetic. Concerned with the need for analytical-documentary photo series, he often shot his subjects from odd angles—usually high above or down below—to shock the viewer and to postpone recognition. He wrote: "One has to take several different shots of a subject, from different points of view and in different situations, as if one examined it in the round rather than looked through the same key-hole again and again."
I Find that The Constructivism Artist used more colour and made it more modern with colours like Black, Red, Green, White and Blue and yet the cubism artist leaves very Bland colours like Yellows, Greens, Greys and Dark Blues ( That Reminds me of something rotting or mould ). The Only Noticeable feature that i can find similar about These two pieces of art would be that They Both use allot of the Same Shape e.g. Pablo Picasso: He uses Squares, Rectangles and Triangles. Alexander Rodchenko: Uses Triangles, Rectangles and Circles. although Rodchenko was basing his work from his home turf and Picasso based his work from what appears on be the middle eastern town which typically enough Reminds me of the Hugely Recognised Game Series known as Assassin's Creed where the original game takes place in a Middle eastern Crusade Period Where Some of the Kingdoms/ towns actually look like that.
