Pablo Picasso - The Artist and His Muse

Pablo Picasso defined Modern Art just as Einstein defined the Daredevil "scientist." Picasso was the colossus brand ambassador of Cubism and Abstract Art. However, greater the fame he achieved with his brush, the more degenerate his relationships became. Pablo Picasso's art, despite of or maybe because of his failed relationships, infidelity, and vengefulness, reflected emotional sourness, which made them world famous.

Pablo Picasso faced his first tragedy at the death of his sister, Conchita, when he was just seventeen. This left a very deep impression on him. Although Pablo never bordered on the edginess of Goya or Van Gogh or Gauguin, he had his share of mistresses and lovers. Most of Pablo's relationships with them ended bitterly. What would start as a hero worship would end with the accusations of infidelity and abuse. This story repeated itself several times, as Picasso's art grew from Realism to Blue, Rose, Africanism, and Cubism. The funniest part was that, as Pablo Picasso seems to have "phases" in his art; his women also were "in phases." For every segment of his works, it is easy to single out a different woman.

Pablo Picasso's first long-term mistress was Fernande Olivier, who was a fellow artist of his. Olivier was the muse, who graced his "Rose" period works. The colors in Rose Phase Paintings were primarily bright Orange, and Pink. Happy characters such as, Circus Artisans and Harlequins graced Pablo Picasso's Canvas. It could be said that maybe the young Picasso was in love. However, as his art gained value, he left Olivier for Eva (Marcelle Humbart), now making her the queen of his "Cubist" works. Many mistresses later, Picasso tried his hands at marriage with Ballerina Khokhlova. Khokhlova was a high society woman, who tried making the bohemian Pablo to "civilize" himself with high-class parties, outings, and powerful friends. The couple did not go far with their marriage, as Picasso fell in love with a seventeen-year old damsel, Marie-Thrse Walter. This was at most an infatuation for the young woman but Picasso fathered a girl with her and Marie lived in the false hope that Picasso would marry her one day. Of course, Picasso, who backtracked, disappointed her. Ditched badly, Marie hanged herself. Khokhlova, of course could not 1969 Topps baseball cards well the philandering of her husband. Picasso however, refused to divorce her, fearing a division of his fortune. The couple remained separated until Khokhlova Died in 1955.

Another constant influence in Picasso's life was the painter Dora Maar, with whom he had a parallel relationship (the closest was in 1930's). She Iron Man as his Muse in most of his Abstract Works and was responsible for documenting his most famous work "Guernica." After the liberation of France, Pablo Picasso fell in love with a French art student, Francois Gilot. Their affair lasted for 9 years, with the only twist this time being, it was Gilot, who left Picasso. Pablo was heartbroken, though took his revenge by making her divorce her husband, while he himself solemnized his second marriage with Jacqueline Roque.

Pablo Picasso's life is as much a study of his craft as his psychology. One can view him as a philanderer or as an artist who refused to be tied down to one Muse. Perhaps his folly was in seeing only a muse where he should have seen a companion. However, Dunny then, we would not have the geniuses of Picasso.

They also are lovers of dinosaurs and this is reflected in their myspace themes. The scene girls tend to sport short cropped hair and the scene boys on the other hand prefer a style that consists of long hanging bangs. The color choice for scene kid hair is bright colors that are typically streaked into the hair. In general, their group mentality demands that a scene kid be very outgoing, bubbly, and attention seekers.

They are enough alike that sometimes they clash. All these kids are striving to be unique and they hate to be compared and regarded as one group.

Nevertheless, the two ideologies are more like diverse musical subcultures. Both groups are just trying to find themselves, which is what teenagers need to accomplish in order to evolve into adults.

Holiday Greeting Cards - How to Create Your Own Photographic Greeting Cards

Here are some tips for creating great holiday greeting cards.

1. Pick an Interesting Theme. If you're doing a family shot, think up something creative. The setting does not need to be winter or holiday themed. In fact if it is non-seasonal, your recipients may keep your card out for more than just the winter season.

2. Use Existing Images. If you had a great holiday trip, consider using one of those images. If you have some good photos of the kids around the house, use them.

3. Get Outdoors. Often, lighting is better outside. Find a good scenic location and compose the image. Then grab someone nearby and ask them to shoot. Almost anyone will step in to help. Or, prop that camera, set the timer and run! Sometimes the timer-race photos are quite funny.

4. Get Exposed. Consider forcing the flash on your camera to fill in some highlights around the eyes. Most cameras have the opportunity to do this. Just a touch of flash will remove shadows or bags under the eyes, and will not appear artificial if used lightly.

5. Edit for Impact. Crop, level and edit your image carefully so the important stuff is left for your viewers to enjoy. Consider some interesting edits such as watercolor finish, sepia, softening, and other effects to create the desired mood on your images.

6. Choose a good printer. Flat glossy cards are inexpensive and easily made, but to really wow your friends, consider using a professional card printing service to make coated, folded cards. The quality of many online labs is first-rate. Expect to spend $1-2 for small runs of cards made this way. Larger quantities may cost less per unit. Try web searching for "holiday cards".

7. Don't Break the Law. If you are considering using a professionally made photograph, remember that you cannot use anyone else's images on your card without their permission. Even if you bought a print, you don't have the right to scan, copy or otherwise use a professional image.

Designing your own holiday cards is a great way to develop your photography, editing, design and computer skills. Have fun creating your cards!
