Comments: Picasso did not borrow, he stole (by his own admittance). He identified new trends in
art and cobbled them together to form sort of collages of trends. Strong and animalistic qualities
to his works. He played with brush strokes inspired by other artists. He also used prints.

MoMA
Comments: Andy Warhol was a pop artist who experimented with color and gradients of varying
degrees. Some of his most famous works include the soup can painting and the many color
version of Marilyn Monroe. The Marilyn Monroe piece is a symbol of pop culture and people’s
obsession with fame and beauty. The vivid and bold colors portray a message of defiance and
standing out from the crowd.
 Guggenheim Museum
Comments: Marc Chagall’s interpretive work of Paris has splashes of color and surrealistic
qualities. The dream-like atmosphere around Paris inspires many artists to paint works often
depicting a realm beyond our own. The cat and the man in particular are examples of mortal
objects being warped by the artist’s perception of them.

Art Institute of Chicago

Comments: George Seurat’s pointillism piece ​A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande
Jatte d​ epicts a lovely scene in a park, made completely out of miniscule dots of pigment. Each
dot was painstakelying layed there by the artist to create one of the most intricate works of art.
