Acrylic With the development of the times, our understanding and reflection on art works are also deepening. Picasso's "Avignon Maiden" is a masterpiece, and its profound artistic connotation and the background of the times are worthy of our in-depth exploration and reflection.
The creation of this painting can be traced back to the time when the European modernist movement was being explored. The artists used new forms and at the same time conveyed a new ideology and spirit.
Against this backdrop, Picasso's The Maid of Avignon, with its wild brushwork and imagery, expresses a challenge to traditional forms and a new interpretation of women, race, and the like.
Today, however, we need to reflect on whether such challenges and interpretations are sufficiently diverse and egalitarian. As modern society, especially the struggle for women's rights, has become an integral part of it, we need to be more rational in examining whether the images of women in artworks truly represent the diversity and equality of women.
But nowadays the internet and technology have brought about a grid era, we have an even more political correctness about women's equality, but sometimes this correctness can lead to confusion and chaos. The artist tries to use the colors of Avignon Maiden to explain the contradiction of the current confusion of gender equality in the male vision, the grid represents the resistance and contradiction in the rational and confusing colors
