Pablo Ruiz Picasso was born on October 25th, 1881 in Malaga and his exceptional talent was seen at an early age. He worked for several years painting under the tuition of his father and made his first debut as an artist in 1893. By 1897 his talent was so exceptional that he was admitted to painting class at the Royal Academy of San Fernando in Madrid. After winning several awards and first class recognition from the critics, Picasso settled down in Paris by 1904. One of Picasso's greatest recognized moments in history in the beginning of Cubism with "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon". Picasso created ot

THe line in de Kooning's "Woman I" seems to be undefined, especially since the lines in the painting are generally circular, however, one can point out that the majority of the obvious lines are horizontal and vertical, creating a box-like image, just like Picasso's painting. On the contrary, the line in this painting doesn't seem organized or structured as in the "Jeune Fille", but more random and not used to emphasize the shape of the woman in the center. The shapes and forms of this peice are very blended together. It is hard to grasp the shape or form of any geometrical objectwith the exception of the woman's breast. This can also be compared to Picasso's piece: each painting places emphasis on the breasts of the woman. It seems very clear that each artist is determined to show that the figures represented in their work are in fact females. The negative space around the woman in the painting is completely the opposite of the figure, obviously done purposely to direct the viewer's eye to the center woman or focal point. THe colour used in this painting is much brighter and much more vibrant than that of the "Jeune Fille". Unlike Picasso's piece, this painting also refrains from using darker colours to contrast the colours used for the figure in the center but instead uses the identical colour all around the painting shunning the depiction of any real light source. THe piece has a great effect of movement, however, and the viewer's eye is easily drawn around the canvas following the great circular and linear brush strokes, mainly towards the woman's massive breasts.

Great empahsis, in this painting is given to the left side of the woman (referring to the left side of the page). The exaggerated contrast of colours and shapes in this area, give one the impression of a distinct light source coming from the woman's breast - the only true evidence in the piece that shows that the figure is female - the only sphere amongst the repetition of cubic shapes. However, these cubes also give the image of a great sense of rhythm. THey are used in a repetitive fashion to create an intentional organized movement. All in all, the piece has a sense of unity despite the chaos, which is quite opposite to Willem de Kooning's "Woman I" whic
