Lame Joke;Picasso

Here's the lame joke that you all must be dying to hear!

i'm so cheesy. i googled Picasso jokes.

i don't think it's funny on Picasso's part.. but here it is!

When Einstein died and arrived at the gates of heaven, St. Peter wouldn’t let him in until he proved his identity. Einstein scribbled out a couple of his equations, and was admitted into paradise. And when Picasso died, St. Peter asked, “How do I know you’re Picasso?” Picasso sketched out a couple of his masterpieces. St. Peter was convinced and let him in. When George W. Bush died, he went to heaven and met the man at the gates. “How can you prove to me you’re George W. Bush?” Saint Peter said. Bush replied, “Well heck, I dont know.” St. Peter says, “Well, Albert Einstein showed me his equations and Picasso drew his famous pictures. What can you do to prove you’re George W. Bush?” Bush replies, “Who are Albert Einstein and Picasso?” St. Peter says, “It must be you, George, c’mon on in.”

lame, right? well, yeah :)

Picasso was an artist. given. His two main styles of painting were cubism and expressionism. In cubism, he tried to show the dimensions of the objects in his paintings. In cubism, his shapes were square and hard. When Picasso painted, he had a blue period and a rose period. For about three years in his early twenties, he used mostly light blue colors in his paintings. The Blue Period dates from 1901 to 1904 and is characterized by a mostly a blue palette. To the side is a photo of Picasso's titled Old Gitarist that was painted buring Picasso's blue period. The rose period came after the blue period. It began after he moved from Spain to France. The Rose Period began around 1904 when Picasso's palette brightened, the paintings dominated by pinks and beiges, light blues, and roses.

However, Picasso's cubist period ended in 1915 and paintings such as Femme en pleurs (1937) certainly aren't cubist, although there are elements of cubism visible (Above right). There's no "Ism" that could describe this style in Femme en Pleurs besides just saying "Picasso's Style". Picasso went from doing an "ism" like cubism, to creating his own type of art.
