I have taught art history to college students for a number of years. This course is a simplified lesson I give to my older students that helps them see the work of Pablo in a timeline. Looking at his work in a line shows the different movements and styles he was experimenting with and where the styles begin to cross over. This course does contain paintings with suggestions of violence. Guernica (1937). We discuss how he simplified the human form, evidence of both African influence and cubism help us to still understand the human figure. Violence often inspires art and we will briefly review the historical inspiration. We will spend time focusing on his different landscapes and portraits to truly understand his transitions between movements and styles he was mastering.
